Embark on a captivating journey on a Provence Wine Tour Half Day Trip from Aix, your exclusive gateway to the heart of French wine country. Travel in a premium, A/C minivan with a passionate, English-speaking wine expert as your guide. Begin with a convenient hotel pick-up in Aix-en-Provence before heading into the breathtaking Côtes de Provence region, famed for its majestic vibrant vineyards.
Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire Wine RegionThis 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 ...
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.
Two Family-Owned Estate Visits and Tastings
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.
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.

A nice half day of tasting some great local wine and seeing the Aix-en-Provence countryside. Our hosts were knowledgeable and offered insights to the wine we sampled.

Breathtaking views, wine was delicious and our guide Lucille was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The two wineries we visited were amazing. Was so happy to hear that one of the wines I could buy in Canada so I can continue to enjoy the experience
