More than a wine tour, discover Provence through wine, gastronomy & local lifestyle with me.

Having a walk though the magical Sainte Victoire Valley, the area I call home, you'll immerse in the nature & feel the local ambiance beyond the usual tourist paths.

Then, I'll explain you the specificity of the Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire appellation, a prestigious region with only 31 producers.

I selected an organic estate, where you'll learn more about the wine production, the art of tasting & try their best gastronomic cuvées.

After that, we'll play a traditional game of pétanque & share a gourmet picnic that I'll prepare for you with local saucisson, olives, goat cheese, figs, lavender honey, herbs & 3 different olive oils.

It will be the perfect moment to open a delicious rosé from another winery made with totallly different grape varieties.

Join me for this relaxed, authentic and premium experience sharing the Provençal art of living.
