Journey towards the Montagne Sainte-Victoire which was a source of inspiration for the famous painter Paul Cézanne. Enjoy this superb landscape where rows of vines line up as far as the eye can see between pine forests and olive groves.

Your local guide A la Française! will give you lots of information about this wine region. Discover this “remarkable” clay-limestone terroir: the vineyards of the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation are located to the east of the city of Aix en Provence, at the foot of the Montagne Sainte Victoire.

Time for wine tasting (included) in two family wine properties in the appellation. Appreciate the authenticity and know-how of these areas.

You will benefit from explanations on the production of wine from the vine to the bottle. Taste their red wines with a complex structure (typical grape varieties of the region: Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon) and their subtle and elegant rosé wines.
