This exclusive 3.5-hour private wine tour explores the prestigious Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire wine region, one of Provence's most scenically dramatic and geologically distinctive terroirs. Your expert English-speaking guide collects you directly from your Aix-en-Provence accommodation and transports you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle through the stunning landscapes surrounding the iconic Mont Sainte-Victoire—the limestone mountain immortalized in Paul Cézanne's paintings.
Journey along the Arc River valley where vineyards stretch across limestone soils at the foot of the striking 1,011-meter-high Sainte-Victoire cliffs. This designated Cru appellation, recognized in 2005 and elevated to Cru status in 2025, produces wines noted for distinctive freshness from higher-altitude slopes, well-drained limestone terroir, and the cooling effects of the Mistral wind.
Visit two carefully selected family-owned wineries where passionate vintners share their expertise about Provence winemaking traditions and the unique Sainte-Victoire terroir. Discover how the region's clay-limestone soils (60% pebbles, 40% clay) and strict production constraints create intensely flavored, structured wines with remarkable elegance.
Taste exceptional Provence rosés—the region's signature wine style—alongside aromatic whites and powerful reds crafted from Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault grape varieties. Learn the differences between Côtes de Provence appellations, understand biodynamic farming approaches increasingly adopted by Sainte-Victoire estates, and appreciate why this region produces some of Provence's most refined wines.
This private format accommodates 2 to 8 guests with completely personalized attention and flexible pacing, ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking in-depth knowledge, couples enjoying romantic Provence experiences, or small groups celebrating special occasions. Your guide tailors discussions to your wine experience level, whether you're a novice discovering Provence rosé or a connoisseur exploring terroir nuances.
The tour operates April through October when Provence vineyards showcase lush green vines, golden harvests, and spectacular mountain vistas. All wine tasting fees are included, and you'll have opportunities to purchase favorite bottles directly from producers at estate prices.
