Trip Summary

These three- and four-day breaks have been designed for a quintessentially Provençal break in sumptuous luxury in the heart of beautiful Aix-en-Provence. You’ll stay at the spectacular 5* Villa Gallici, a boutique hotel set in an 18th-century country house just a 10-minute walk from the town centre. Upon arrival, check into your preferred room grade.

After settling in, start your trip in style with a unique private wine tasting in the hotel’s wine cellar. In the company of a fascinating and insightful sommelier, taste five local wines in an incredible setting. You will then enjoy a three-course dinner in the hotel’s fabulously elegant dining room. Drinks have not been included as part of the package, and can be ordered and paid for locally on the evening.

On day two, you will be met at the hotel by an English-speaking specialist driver/guide, who will accompany you throughout the day on a private basis. Today, you will drive out into the surrounding wine region, beginning with a private wine workshop at the renowned Château La Coste. This experience will offer an insightful look at the château’s wines, with opportunity to taste some of their best ones for yourself. Following such an enlightening experience, you will enjoy a delightful three-course lunch, paired with three Château La Coste wines, at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Hélène Darroze at Villa La Coste. In the afternoon, you’ll go on to another authentic winery in the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, for a private tour of their estate and to taste some of their reds, whites and rosés. At the end of the day, your driver will drop you back off at your hotel, and the rest of the evening will be free for you to spend as you please.

For those staying a third night, an English-speaking driver/guide will meet you at your hotel in the morning, ready for a second day of wine tasting on a private basis. This time there’ll be a particular focus on the gourmet: as well as a guided tour and tasting, you’ll enjoy an authentic picnic lunch at the winery you visit for the true Provencal experience. Think charcuterie, fresh and aged goats cheese, terrines, homemade bread, an assortment of tapenades… all with some wine to accompany it. On your way back towards the hotel, you’ll stop for some free time in the picturesque seaside town of Cassis.

You will be taken back to the hotel at the end of the day, and your final evening will be free to do as you please before checking out of the hotel on day four.
