Luxury 5* Provence Wine Tour

At a glance

Trip Summary

After breakfast 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 discover the wines of the Baux-de-Provence area, which also boasts incredible landscapes. During the course of the day, you will visit two wineries, to see first-hand the wine-making process and taste extensive examples of the region’s red and rosé wines, made predominantly from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. A small amount of white wine is also produced here (usually blends of Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Vermentino), and almost all of the wineries in the appellation are organic. You will also visit a local olive mill, where you will taste the Baux-de-Provence AOP olive oil. You will have free time for lunch today, and your guide will be very pleased to recommend a suitable restaurant depending on how hungry you are feeling on the day.

After being taken back to Domaine de Manville for some time to relax and freshen up, an unforgettable multi-course dinner will be served in the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Each course will be perfectly paired with a local wine.

For those staying a third night, your guide will return to the hotel on the morning of day three, and accompany you on a second day of wine tasting, this time to the area surrounding Aix-en-Provence. Not only is Aix-en-Provence home to some of the world’s greatest rosés (and some superb reds and whites too), the area is also famous for the beautiful Mont Saint Victoire, a feature of many of the painter Cézanne’s masterpieces. As well as having plenty of time to admire the spectacular scenery, you will also be welcomed and three wineries for full tours and tastings. Again, you will have free time for lunch today, and your guide will be on hand to suggest a suitable restaurant depending on how hungry you are feeling.

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 on day four.
