Private Wine Tour of the vineyards on the French Riviera

Our private tour with our wine expert named Frank was excellent. He took us to three family own vineyards where we toured each vineyard and had tastings. We also went to lunch at a wonderful restaurant in Saint Paul de Vence which he suggested where he also gave us time to walk around the town and do some shopping if we wanted to. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a wonderful experience. We even bought some wine at the very last Vineyard to be shipped home to the US. I highly recommend him as a guide for this tour in Provence. He has been involved in winemaking in this area for most of his life.

This was the first time on a private wine tour where our guide was a trained sommelier - a great opportunity to learn and discuss more about each of the wines we experienced! The vineyards were great, the lunch spot in St Paul was beautiful...we highly recommend.

Our trip was amazing. It started off with a pickup from our hotel, and we visited a couple wineries which were STUNNING. The wines we tasted were delicious and included a full range of whites, orange, rose, and reds. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. Overall i highly recommend this experience.

We booked a private half-day tour from Gordes and were really impressed with the quality of services provided. The tour was very well structured - the actual wine tasting was beautifully mixed with a walk around the area and introduction to the process of wine production. The places we visited were really unique - I doubt we would have been able to find them on our own. Our guide Edwin was very knowledgeable, considerate and inspiring - we learned a lot. We had enough time to enjoy the tasting without any rush and the selection of wines was great. Highly recommended!

We traveled 7 guys together on a guys trip to Nice. On the Friday, we wanted a wine tour, and after checking online beforehand, we contacted Azur Wine Tours and asked for a modified version of a program they had, as we wanted to start a bit later in the day. We received a proposal back the same evening, and we went for it. All communication along the way was quick and without problems. We were picked up outside the apartment at the agreed time and had a fantastic day with our guide, Edwin. Edwin deserves extra praise. He is a very nice guy who speaks fluent English. He knows a lot about Nice, the areas we visited, and especially about the wines we tasted. Edwin first took us to the small village of St. Paul de Vence, where we had a tour and time for lunch, as well as some time to explore the streets on our own. Then we were driven to two different wineries, where we were told about the place, the wine, and we had wine tastings with various white, red, and rosé wines. The first winery we visited was Vineyard Saint Jeannet, a small winery where they store the wine in glass balloons outdoors for months before the wine is ready. The second winery we visited was Domaine de la Source. A more traditional way of producing wines in the heart of Bellet. It was very interesting to see the different ways of making wines and hear the history behind them. It was our guide Edwin who made these visits the best experience, both because of his language skills and his excellent knowledge of the wines and the area. Afterward, we were driven to Antibes where Edwin dropped us off, and we continued the evening at the Absinthe bar and disappeared into the night.
