      Amazing
      Edwin was our tour guide and he was absolutely incredible. His knowledge of wine and the region was outstanding. I learned more about wine and wine tasting in 8 hours than I ever did in my life

      Lovely tour - very educational
      Our wine guide Lionel did a wonderful job taking us to three distinctly different wineries all wonderful in their own regard. He explained the history of each winery as well as an overview to the region before we dived into tasting and how each element on the vineyard plays a part in each wine. He was welcoming and appealed to all levels of education no matter your background knowledge of wine. Lunch was at an incredible local restaurant - a perfect resting point in the day

      Lovely wine tour in Provence
      My husband and I went on the small group Provence wine tour from Nice while on our honeymoon last week and we had such a great day. Our tour guide, Laura, was wonderful and so knowledgeable about the wines of the region. She made us feel so welcomed to the area and helped make sure we had a great day as honeymooners. The wines were lovely (we got to try a decent amount with increased number of samples at each winery) and it was great to get out to the countryside from the city. Would recommend!! Thank you, Laura!

      A Once-in-a-Lifetime Wine-Tasting Experience
      My husband and I recently enjoyed our first trip to Europe for our honeymoon, starting in London, then exploring Paris and Lucerne, and finally ending our journey in the French Riviera. Our travel agency booked us the "Provence Wine Tour - Private Day Tour from Nice" for the last full day of our honeymoon. We truly saved the best for last. Our experience on this tour was undoubtedly one of the most memorable and favorite highlights of our entire honeymoon. First, we were greeted by our tour guide, Edwin, outside of our hotel at the promised meet-up time. To our surprise, Edwin told us we were booked for a private tour, meaning it would just be the three of us, without any other group members. My husband and I aren't very knowledgeable about wines to begin with, so having a private tour truly allowed us to have the most customized and unique experience where we could learn all we could ever want about wines. Edwin, a Provence local and sommelier, was the PERFECT guide for our day; he was excellent in patiently answering all our questions and showing us all that his hometown had to offer. Edwin took us to three stunning vineyards—Château Saint Pierre, Château Font du Broc, and Château de Saint-Martin—where we sampled about four wines at each location. We started our tour at Château Saint Pierre, where Edwin taught us how to taste wine like a true sommelier. We were able to take photos amongst the endless rows of grapevines and perfectly manicured landscapes, as well as taste a variety of rosés on their quiet patio. On our way to Château Font du Broc, Edwin mentioned Chapelle Sainte Roseline and kindly took a small detour, allowing us to see the Romanesque chapel, built in the 1200s, for ourselves. Although this gesture may have seemed minuscule to Edwin, it really set this tour apart from all the others we went on during our honeymoon as he made every effort to make the tour special for us. At Château Font du Broc, Edwin guided us down a flight of stairs to visit the underground wine cellar, which was absolutely breathtaking. For lunch, Edwin dropped us off at Maison Barret in Les Arcs. When he rejoined us afterward, he translated that the servers had gifted us a bottle of rosé to take home—an unexpected surprise! We had a little bit of time for Edwin to take us on a walk through Les Arcs, a quiet picturesque village that had the medieval charm reminiscent of Èze but without the hustle and bustle of hundreds of tourists. We finished our tour at Château de Saint-Martin where Edwin showed us the differences between the stainless steel vats and vats carved into the rock in their underground cellar. This tour was absolutely perfect. We learned about the history of each vineyard and the dedication of the hardworking locals who take pride in producing quality wines. The hospitality of Provence was unforgettable, and we would love to return for more experiences like this. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a memorable wine-tasting adventure with people who are passionate about making your visit truly unforgettable. Thank you SO much Edwin and Azur Wine Tours! ... and as Edwin taught us, “Santé!”

      Perfect day!
      We had a great day with Peter as our guide! He had a lot of knowledge about both the wines, chateaus and the Provence area. Would recommend this trip to anyone who likes wine and would like to see some beautiful spots around Nice/Cannes. 5 stars for sure! We’ll book another wine testing next year again! Thank you.

      Wonderful day!
      We had a fantastic day with Peter as our guide and Lionel as our driver. Great communication with us pre trip. The day was unique and special with 3 vineyards each with beautiful scenery and great wines which we largely cannot access at home. Peter was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Took us to an excellent local spot for lunch as well. The vans were very comfortable. Highly recommend!

      Wonderful Tour
      We had the most incredible private tour with the wonderful Peter! The day exceeded our expectations in every way - we visited three vineyards and had a delicious lunch en route. Peter was an excellent guide and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. If you are thinking about booking a tour you will not be disappointed.

      A great experience with Peter, a true oenophile!
      Three couples had a private tour with Peter. Two of the group are not into wines, but Peter showed us how to appreciate wines and tell them apart. The rest of the group were more experienced oenophiles and were able to discuss the ins and outs of wines. We also learned a lot about how wines are made and the stories behind the vineyards we visited. There was enough about the history of wine making and process of wine making that kept those of us who are not into wine interested. Peter was excellent company and a great guide. The private tour is a must becuase the itinerary is a bit more flexible than a group tour.

      Excellent rose tour
      Excellent tour and value for money 👌 Our tour guide was so friendly and informative showing us all the wine making spots of rose and telling us all the processes. Value for money was excellent - we visited many rose farms. Will definitely recommend.

      E-bikes and vino
      The Provence wine tour with Edwin as our guide was one of the highlights of our trip to the Côte d’Azur. Edwin shared his extensive local knowledge of the region and the wine making process and was otherwise a great guide. We biked through the vines on e-bikes to our first vineyard then on to lunch - lots of fun and not too strenuous when using the e-bike battery power. We had an exceptional lunch (paid for separately) at a restaurant called Le Château d'Argens, which was in a 1,000 year old building with lovely countryside views. We travelled by van to the next vineyards for more tastings before being taken back to our accommodation in Antibes. Highly recommend!

      Add This to Your “Must Do” List!
      This tour is not an experience to miss! Excellent mix of education and tasting at three vineyards with different flairs. Our guide/sommelier, Erwan, was knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the wine making process and tailored the tastings to our personal wine palettes. 10/10, would recommend!

      Perfect wine tour in Bandol
      We booked a wine tour around Bandol for 7 people and Edwin was our guide for the day. We lucked out! He was friendly, professional and had excellent knowledge. The vineyards we visited were wonderful and the lunch spot that was picked for us was amazing. Edwin even took us on a tour of the village that we stopped for lunch in,his knowledge of the village and chateaux which was really impressive. We all had a wonderful day and will be booking again next time we are in the area. Highly recommend this if you want a great day out.

      Wonderful day with Edwin
      We had a wonderful day with Edwin. He picked us up from the home we were staying in and we drove in his comfortable van about 1 hour. We took about a 30 minute, easy, beautiful e-bike ride to our 1st vineyard where Edwin gave us an interesting explanation of the process of vine masking from vines to glass. We tasted a variety of delicious organic wines and then biked back to the town of Les Arches for a lovely lunch at a local restaurant. Then we got in the van and drove to2 other vineyards for more learning and tasting before he drove us home. A great day with friends.

    This tour was so wonderful! Peter, our guide, is the absolute best. He is so charming, funny, and so well informed about wine. He said his goal was to de-mystify wine and he truly did. We left the tour shocked by how much better we understand wine!

    On the tour itself, the vineyards we went to were absolutely stunning and the wine was plentiful (those pours were not light haha) and delicious.

    Also - absolute shout out to Peter! At the end of the tour when we go back to Nice, I realized I didn’t have my wallet, freaked out that I had gotten pick pocketed or lost it at some point during the day. Peter helped me stay calm, asked me various questions about where it could be, and then he kindly went out of his way to drive us back to our hotel. Turns out, I had left my wallet in my hotel room! It was so kind of him to drive us back- that is not part of his job description and he did not have to do that at all. So we truly appreciate it so much! I cannot recommend this tour (and tour guide) enough!

    We're glad that you enjoyed the tour - this is what we always hope to hear from our guests. We're delighted that Peter, as is always his way, went the extra mile to make sure that you didn't have to panic and worry about your purse, at the end of a perfect day. All's well that end's well - and we appreciate the kind comments and recognition. Bon voyage - do come again next time that you are Nice or the surrounding area for more wine adventures with Peter (or even one of our other guides).

    We had an amazing experience on this small group tour. We visited three wineries - distinctly different but all very good: modern, traditional, blend of modern and traditional. Peter was an excellent guide and tailored the tastings to our group based on our knowledge and experience with wines and tastings. He also arranged for us to enjoy an alfresco lunch in a nearby medieval village which was very good and relaxing. His knowledge of the region, local vineyards and production methodologies was very impressive. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone whether you are new to trying wine or an experienced connoisseur!

    We had a fantastic day with a very knowledgeable and patient (good) driver and guide. He explained much to us and the 3 wineries that were selected were fantastic.

    While the lunch (which was an ample 4 course meal at a small restaurant outside of any town) was fantastic, we don't normally eat lunch and we had planned to skip lunch and just explore the area as others dined (as we thought lunch was optional, and in a city). However, everyone was kind of forced into the set menu for the lunch (mind you it was delicious, but we would have liked to have known that was going to be the situation so we knew what to expect).

    We're glad that you had a fantastic day and enjoyed the tour, your guide, the wineries and of course the wines! We're sorry that the lunch arrangements that day were not quite what you expected. Most days we stop in a local small town for lunch where there is more choice - or indeed the choice to skip lunch - which is not included in the price of the tour as per the tour description. Occasionally we end up in a location where there is not much choice and hence we make sure that there is a table booked for everyone. We do hope that you were not too inconvenienced, and it does seem like you really enjoyed the lunch in the end. Thank you for your feedback. We will take this into account in our planning.

    I found it really hard to rate this tour as I felt it was a tour of two halves. The morning spent at Chateau De Saint Martin was great, very informative, great tasting and setting. We also enjoyed a lovely sociable lunch in a local village.
    However, the afternoon tastings felt very rushed. At Chateau Font du Broc there was a military ceremony taking place and we quickly tasted 3 wines but were unable to go in the cellars or the vineyard. This left us feeling shortchanged and brought the day down as we were therefore not there very long. In view of this the tour felt very expensive for what we experienced.

    Bonjour, thank you for your review. Due to a military ceremony of which we were unaware, we were unable to give a tour of the underground cellar on the second estate and we're very sorry about that. We are not in the habit of rushing our groups during our visits. The estates sometimes have work constraints which, fortunately very rarely, can have an impact on our visits. We're delighted that you enjoyed the other two estates. You have visited three very different estates: the oldest in Provence, one of the most prestigious and one of the most beautiful. Yours sincerely

    The tour passes through storybook like Provence villages. Our visit to 3 wineries was led by our expert guide, Peter. He was thorough in his explanation of the art of wine tasting and how to assess a wine’s color, smell, and taste. Peter knew his wine and was not just a tour guide that memorized a script. This small group tour of 7 made it possible to have a more personal experience. Totally recommend this tour to get a great sense of wineries in Provence.

    Frank’s knowledge truly is second to none. He always had interesting points to make about the wines but also the history of the vineyards we attended. He truly is an expert in his field!

    The only thing I would say is that one of the vineyards (the first one) was disappointing as it felt more like a marketing operation rather than the real feel of a historical French chateau. We understand that this place sells millions of bottles of wine globally but we didn’t think it compares to the other vineyards you visit on the tour.

    Les Arcs where you stop for lunch is beautiful, reasonably priced restaurant there with good quality of food.

    I have to stress the trip was absolutely made by Frank and if you get him as your guide you are in for a very special treat.

    Caroline was a wonderful tour guide! She not only provided a thorough tour of each of the three wineries, but also carefully explained how to “experience “ the wines we were tasting. She gave us a lesson on how to identify young wines, how to identify if a wine had a more mineral, floral, or fruity nose, and how to really taste the wine. Loved the overall experience!!!

    We had a fantastic time on our wine tour in Provence. The day was filled with delightful discoveries as we explored diverse wineries, each offering a unique perspective on the art of winemaking.

    Our guide was the shining star of the tour, sharing a wealth of knowledge that enhanced our appreciation for the wines we got to taste. His passion for the craft was palpable, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The intimate group setting added to the charm of the day.

    A sincere thanks to Edvin and the group for curating such a memorable and enriching experience :)

    This small group wine tour was the best way to explore different wineries of the region. We toured with Laura, and she was extremely knowledgeable of the wines and the area, and she made the tour a great experience. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to experience wine at all levels, as it was both beginner and expert friendly.
