About this experience
Turn the clock back among vines imported 2000 years ago by the Romans on the hills of Saint-Jeannet. Merlot, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet-Sauvignon, and Gamay will reveal you through a tasting in an authentic and family-owned vineyard. Discover the ancestral expertise in making wine and a particular process: "Aging wine under the sunshine". A pleasant and a sharing moment before enjoying a stroll around the cobbled streets in the "Jewel of Provence".
Discover Saint Paul de Vence, medieval village, haven of peace for artists and celebrities who made the fame of this charming town.

Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Visit the second-most visited village in France. This medieval "cité" is world-famous amongst artists. Discover the passageways frequented by the likes of Picasso, Renoir, Folon and (most famously) Chagall. Find traces of these artists in the many art galleries of the village, or enjoy the sights as you stroll along the ramparts built to protect the residents of old.
2
At the feet of the rock that dominates the medieval village of St-Jeannet, discover a vineyard using a rather unusual - but wholly traditional - wine fermentation process: ageing wine in the sun. Learn about the fermentation process and about the history of rosé - the wines that originally came from this part of Provence - as you enjoy tasting the wines offered by your host.
