Our three- and four-day Essential Aix-en-Provence breaks give you the opportunity to savour the wines of the surrounding Côtes de Provence vineyards, as well as Cassis if you opt for the four-day break, with accommodation in 4* Aquabella Hotel & Spa in the centre of the city, and plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this charming Provencal city—which feels more like a town.
Upon arrival in Aix-en-Provence, check into your hotel in the city centre. The 4* Aquabella Hotel & Spa is the ideal choice, only a short walk from many shops, restaurants and bars, and complete with an outdoor swimming pool for you to enjoy those sunny days. On your first evening, begin your trip with a delicious meal in a lively, city-centre restaurant.
Following breakfast on day two, you will meet your guide at a central departure point in Aix-en-Provence for a half-day guided and transported tour into the Côtes de Provence vineyards. There will be a maximum of 8 guests on the tour. As part of the morning, your guide will take you through beautiful countryside, stopping at two wineries for tours and tastings of their refreshing rosé wines. Your guide will then drop you off in central Aix-en-Provence just in time for lunch. Your guide would be pleased to give you recommendations depending on how hungry you are feeling on the day. The afternoon will be free for you to spend as you please, and we’d be happy to discuss additional activities as you wish.
In the evening, immerse yourself in the culture of Aix-en-Provence on an evening food tour. You’ll get the chance to explore the city by foot, stopping to sample the best typical dishes the city has to offer – no tourist traps in sight! Your food tour will be guided and as part of a small group.
If you opt for the four-day break, you will enjoy a full-day tour today, this time to Cassis! You will meet your guide at a central location in Aix-en-Provence, and again, there will be a maximum of 8 guests on the tour. Your day will include time spent in the beautiful seaside town of Cassis, perhaps visiting the local market if you’re lucky to be there on a Wednesday or Sunday. You will then delight in a boat tour which will give you the opportunity to see the beautiful Calanques.
Following this, you’ll have free time for lunch in Cassis, and your guide will be pleased to give recommendations depending on how hungry you are feeling on the day. In the afternoon, you’ll then enjoy a tasting of some delightful Provence wines at a local winery in the Cassis region, before your guide will drop you back off in central Aix-en-Provence. The remainder of the evening will be free for you to spend as you please before check out on day four.
