The Program

Provence in the South of France is considered as the most beautiful place in France, and it stretches all the way from Arles and Avignon to Monaco, anchored by the Mediterranean sea. The region’s natural beauty, its warm climate, picturesque Medieval villages, traditional open markets, colors, aromas, olive oil, sun flowers, lavender fields and of course its wines make Provence an irresistible destination to both the French and to visitors.

 

 

What gives Provence its distinctive character and unique wines is, among other things, its particularly diverse landscape swept by the Mistral wind and its warm dry and sunny weather. Provence is more and more popular and recognized for its wines, especially about its rosé wines (some of the World’s best rosés) but it also produces some remarkable strong and full-bodied red wines which can age several years in barrels, as well as tender delicate and airy whites.
If you want to discover the wines and the beauty of Provence countryside in a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere with an English-speaking guide, then our private Provence wine tours are for you!
We offer several destinations to visit and taste wine in Provence such as Aix en Provence, LuberonBaux de ProvenceBandol & Cassis and the world famous Châteauneuf du Pape.
And if you want to discover Provence off the beaten tracks, you can also contact us in order to organize your own tailor-made trip whether it is for one day, for a week or more.
We are strategically located in Aix en Provence in order to travel around easily to all destinations.
If you like the wines you have tasted during your wine tour and if you want to buy some, we offer the service to ship your wine home.
We are open all year round and look forward to welcoming you at Planet Provence.
