About this experience
A True Local’s Experience – This isn't just a food tour; it's a relaxed apéritif-style evening like locals do, blending culture, drinks, and social moments.
Begin with a bang - Start by having a classic Pastis by one of the gorgeous fountains in the heart of city.
Mix of Tradition & Modern Flair – Learn about wine from all over the region with local sommelier expert and ask all the questions you've been begging to ask about.
Enjoy it like a local – Many tours focus on wine alone, but we'll finish at a little well known local hot spot and enjoy the local Panisse (chickpea pancake) or Tiramisu (for the sweet lovers), and most importantly, make friends.
Small & Intimate – Unlike larger (7+), more generic tours, this small-group format ensures a social, fun, and engaging evening where guests actually get to chat and enjoy the atmosphere.
Transformative Experience - Elevate your knowledge on Provençal Wine and deepen your appreciation for the smells and tastes of the region.
