The Wines of AOP Bellet
The AOP Bellet appellation is one of Provence’s best-kept secrets, home to just a handful of family-run vineyards producing limited, high-quality wines. The region’s schist and sand soils, combined with its altitude (up to 300m), create elegant and aromatic wines with a distinct sense of place.
The whites, made primarily from Rolle, are fresh and floral with notes of citrus, white peach, and Mediterranean herbs. The rosés, crafted from Braquet and Grenache, are delicate yet expressive, with flavors of wild berries and spice. The reds, featuring Folle Noire, Braquet, and Grenache, are structured yet elegant, with aromas of black fruit, violets, and earthy minerality.
A Stop in Saint-Paul de Vence for Lunch
Midway through the tour, enjoy a relaxing break in the enchanting village of Saint-Paul de Vence, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Provence. Wander its cobbled streets, explore local art galleries, and soak in the breathtaking views before indulging in a delicious Provençal lunch at one of the charming restaurants in the village.

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.
