Itinerary

In the morning, we visit two vineyards in the Bellet AOP, Nice’s very own appellation, where you’ll meet the producers, visit the cellars and wineries, get chance to wander in the vines and fill-up your senses with the beauty of the surroundings. Of course we’ll be tasting great wine, with your guide on hand to talk you through all of the aspects of local wine making culture, wine tasting and tips on wine and food pairing. At lunchtime you’ll have time to explore the famous, medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence – a must-see destination when on the Côte d’Azur. In the afternoon we’ll be in Saint Jeannet, meeting a winemaker who has dedicated his life to preserving local, traditional wine-making methods in harmony with this exceptional environment. After visiting the vineyard, we’ll finish with a tasting that will surely remain a highlight of your trip.
