Embark on a half-day wine tour through the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Sainte-Victoire Mountain, a stunning natural landmark that inspired the famous post-impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. Between 1880 and 1883, Cézanne captured the mountain in numerous paintings, bringing its majestic beauty to life on canvas.

The Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire vineyards, nestled to the east of Aix-en-Provence, are renowned for their natural beauty and unique terroir. These vineyards benefit from the Mistral wind, which sweeps through the region, helping to create some of the most pure and authentic wines in France. The climate, with its cooling winds and abundant sunshine, plays a vital role in shaping the quality of the grapes.

On this immersive journey, you’ll dive deep into the region’s rich viticultural heritage. Explore the terroir’s distinctive characteristics and gain insight into the traditional winemaking process as you visit the cellars of two distinct, family-owned wine estates.

Meet the passionate winemakers, who will share their expertise and commitment to crafting exceptional wines. As part of the experience, you’ll have the opportunity to taste the region’s celebrated AOC Côtes de Provence wines. Savor the complexity of full-bodied reds, known for their deep, structured flavors; delight in the subtle elegance of the rosés, offering fresh, floral notes; and enjoy the crisp, refined whites, which exude a remarkable balance and finesse.
