What to expect

Discover Aix-en-Provence, the capital of the region, on a unique tour divided in two parts.

In the morning walking tour (only in English), you'll travel through the city of water and art to find its culinary surprises. Discover the heritage of typical provençal markets and taste local specialties, such as cheese and a provençal PDO wine. Follow your guide along the Mirabeau avenue lined with its famous fountains. Let your senses be seduced by the scents, colors and flavors.

After this, enjoy some free time for a snack on your own in the city before joining the afternoon tour at 1.30pm.

The afternoon tour starts with a scenic drive through the landscape of Sainte-Victoire Mountain, which inspired the famous impressionist painter Paul Cezanne from 1880 to 1883. Then, you'll reach the Cotes de Provence Sainte-Victoire vineyards, which are located east from the city of Aix-en-Provence. They are considered to be some of the most natural in France due to the drying effects of the Mistral wind. The shallow soils, formed by limestone and argillaceous sandstone, produce high-quality vineyards.

You'll visit two wine properties of the appellation to sample tasty red wines with excellent structure and subtle and elegant rosés.
