Of course, you’ll be tasting great red, white, and rosé wines at each vineyard. With your sommelier guide on hand to take you through all the aspects of local winemaking culture, you'll enjoy a short masterclass on wine tasting and tips on wine and food pairing. As well as tasting these sought-after wines, you'll also get a chance to taste some local treats and olive oil, made from the famous Olives de Nice.

At lunchtime, you’ll have time to explore the famous, medieval hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence – a must-see destination when on the Côte d’Azur. In the afternoon you'll head to Saint Jeannet, to meet a winemaker who has dedicated his life to preserving local, traditional winemaking methods in harmony with this exceptional environment. After visiting the vineyard and cellars, you'll finish your day with a tasting on the terrace that will surely remain one of the highlights of your day!
