Best way to wine taste in Aix. - We had an incredible time with Eric - the tour was such a pleasant surprise. The setting is incredible and the drive was smoothe and felt very safe. The wineries we went to were perfect and Eric was patient, took plenty of photos for us. He also gave us tons of recommendations for restaurants and bars and even made us a reservation. Must do for a vacation in Aix!

Perfect way to see the countryside and taste some wines - We had the best time zipping through the countryside with our guide, Kevin. We stopped at an organic lavender farm and two very different wineries, both were great experiences with delicious wines. Kevin was right on time and navigated the crazy city streets to get us to the open road where we enjoyed the fresh air and beautiful landscape outstide of Aix. We had so much fun and really enjoyed meeting Kevin and gearing his stories. Great time!

Don’t sleep on the sidecar - I never want to wine taste in a boring van at some big commercial winery again. This tour absolutely spoiled that for me. Kevin took my husband and I all around Aix on his sidecar today, and I couldn’t help but have a big stupid grin on my face all day. Ripping through the countryside on a sleek black motorcycle will do that to you, I guess. In our time together, we saw two wineries, a lavender field, the Saint Vincente mountain range, and the highlands of a local town. I have never really gotten to ride on a motorcycle, so this tour was living out a bucket list item in the most scenic area. I felt really safe the entire time and my husband and I had a great time learning about life here in Aix/France. MERCI KEVIN!! hope to do another tour with you again.

Must do it Provence! - This tour was incredible, highly recommend! It was a great way to see the country side and see the towns. The vineyards were all high quality and authentic, and generous with their tastings. We also didn’t feel pressured to buy anything, which was a plus. Our driver and guide, Kevin, was superb. He was fun, personable, safe, and entertaining. He also took us to a lavender field since it was in season, which was unexpected but made the trip. Definitely worth the money!
