Our Provence wine tour can begin accompanied by our highly knowledgeable bi-lingual guide in a 3-hour TGV (high speed train) ride from Paris to Marseilles, where we will collect an upscale rental car and suggest driving to near-by Cassis for an initiation at the beautifully situated Presqu’ile restaurant with its wonderful views of the Mediterraenean and Cape Canaille. There, you may begin your tastings of both Cassis whites and Bandol reds, possibly accompanying a memorable bouillabaisse. Later, we suggest visiting the Domaine Tempier in Bandol, for further tasting of some of the best reds of Provence. The day can end proceeding east to Aiguebelle, outside Levandou, where we suggest spending the night at the sumptuous Les Roches hotel and where you have the opportunity to dine at the nearby one star Le Sud restaurant with a meal construed with Côtes de Provence wines.

Day two of our private Provence wine tour can begin with a tasting of whites, rosés and red Côtes de Provence at the Domaines Ott. Later we drive north to the Domaine Richaume, just east of Montagne Ste. Victoire, for a tasting of Côtes de Provence red, white and rosé wines. We suggest taking a break from tastings with a late afternoon stroll in Aix-en-Provence, prior to driving northwest to spend the night at the beautiful Moulin de Lourmarin Hotel.  There you can enjoy a meal conceived with Syrah and Viognier Côtes de Luberon wines at the hotel’s two-starred restaurant.
