Top French Riviera Wine Tasting Tours

Patricia is a gem. She is extremely knowledgeable about both wine and food, and her passion for her craft shines brightly. She became a part of our family for the evening, and it was truly like dining with a friend. We laughed; we sang; we shared our life's dreams. Enchante Patricia! She herself was one of the highlights of our trip. (The wine was also excellent and thoughtfully curated!)

My sister and I loved our full day wine tour with Lara! Everything—our fabulous, personable and knowledgeable guide, the comfortable transport, the variety and volume of wines we got to try, the lunch recommendation, the vineyard selections—was perfect! This tour is highly recommended to any wine enthusiast visiting Nice. Thank you so much, Lara!

Patricia really makes you feel welcome during the tasting and knows the best spots in Menton. It was a cozy evening filled with great company. We really enjoyed getting to know the other couple in our group. I learned a lot about different wines and was pleasantly surprised by all the food pairings. I would absolutely recommend this tasting.

Our driver was early to meet us. Friendly with a smile we started our tour. Highlighting some of the points on interest near our pickup spot. The 20 minute drive through rolling hills and charming streets was comfortable and relaxing. First stop was at the vines themselves. Learning about the soil, care and maintenance of the vines. Pulled a small bunch still left and the flavor was magnificent. Next was the loading and next step to winemaking. Learning about the difference in white, rose and reds. Separating skin and stems or keeping them is where the first decision is made. Walked through the cold room were tanks held various stages of fermenting grape juice. The blending comes next and true to local tradition it’s a family affair around the table. Sitting down to taste the fabulous wines from Bandol was a real treat. Our guide Romain, a Sommelier in disguise! Explaining and providing suggestions on what pairs well with the selections made it memorable. White, Rosé and Red were equally exquisite. The location picturesque. Simply a perfect start to a spectacular day. Our drive back was through the provincial town of Brandol. Rolling hills covered with grape vines, olive trees and dotted with charming cottages. Arriving at the port city a saltiness to the air was prevalent. The aromas of bakeries filled the air. A must try on your next adventure.

What a very enjoyable wine tour we experienced yesterday! Our guide was super knowledgeable and very engaging. Would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to this part of the country. Keep up fantastic work! PS wine was delicious and we took away a bottle for the memories!

Ghislaine was an incredible tour guide. Very knowledgeable about wine and Provence. All 3 wineries we visited were fabulous. Very private (no crowds) and beautiful grounds. The tour company arranged a lovely lunch spot for us that was good for our teenage boys. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a genuinely authentic experience provided by kind, knowledgeable, and lovely hosts. Merci beaucoup for the tasting presentation and providing insight about how your wines are made. Maria’s gourmet meal was absolutely delicious. George’s enthusiastic history insight made us imagine so many experiences about land and people of this area. Andra, you treated my daughter and I so warmly and truly provided a friendly and memorable experience that we’ll cherish. Thanks to everyone for a lifetime experience.

We booked a day trip to Grasse, the perfume factory, Valbonne, Goudon, and Domaine de Source winery. Our guide, Xavier, was fantastic and had so much local knowledge. The amount of time in each place was perfect. We loved everything about our day in the countryside outside of Nice.
