Full description

Begin with pickup from your accommodation in Nice in the morning. Relax in the comfortable and air conditioned van on the way to Biot. Learn about the manufacturing of Biot glassware which is known for its quality around the world.

Continue to the hillside village of Opio which is nestled between olive groves, pines, cork oak, and strawberry trees. Head to a rare 15th-century mill that is still in operation. Savor some regional products paired with some delicious olive oil.

Travel to the breathtaking hilltop village of Gourdon which offers exceptional views of the entire French Riviera. Capture pictures of its 9th century castle and its sumptuous garden which was designed by the Versailles landscaper André Lenotre.

Be awed by a 40-meter-high waterfall in the Gorges du Loup. See the village of Tourrette sur loup which owes its fame to the violets, which have been its main crop since 1880.

Unlock the flavors of the countryside at a wine estate in Saint-Jeannet. Sample 6 wines with red, rosé, white, and sweet options. Listen as the winemaker tells you about how the wine is aged by harnessing the power of the sun with glass carboys.

Sit where you can admire superb paintings by Remy Rasse who also produces wine labels. After your tasting, return to your accommodation in Nice by van.

Roman our tour guide was great. He took us to a spot that overlooked Nice which was amazing. We enjoyed the wine tasting and the perfume factory. Our tour was in the off season so the town of Gourdon was pretty much closed down but still was a beautiful view.

Our tour guide and driver was perfect so it would be the best memory for our honeymoon:) If you want to know more about France and Wine then you could be a little wine mater with this tour. Our tour guuid tried to explain many thing (cultures, histories with details etc.,) everything was very useful to know about this provinces. When I said ‘good bye’ to our guide, I said ‘Today was perfect’ to him. Many thanks.☺️ (The pizza restaurant you recommended was excellent)

While we enjoyed the trip and seeing lots of different places and sampling local produce there was a lot of travelling around involved and quite a few windy roads so would advise anyone who is not a great traveller to take travel sickness tablets before you go as there was nowhere to buy an en route. The guide Jalil was very friendly and informative.
