A Local Day in the Authentic Provençal Countryside

  • This is a countryside day to learn more about Provençal wines, try the best local appetizers, and feel the peaceful atmosphere of authentic villages away from the hustle and bustle of tourism.
  • You'll admire the beautiful landscapes around Sainte Victoire mountain, walk through vine fields, and visit a winery where you'll taste the estate wines and learn more about the art of tasting and wine production.
  • We'll play pétanque in a very cute hilltop village, with wines and Provençal appetizers that I'll prepare for you - just like the locals do!
  • Then you'll have lunch in the heart of this picturesque village or in the middle of nature at another restaurant a few kilometres away, where I can drive you. Both are really good!
  • Our last stop is Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.
