Excellent guide and delightful tour
We very much enjoyed our tour. Jacques is an incredibly knowledgeable man who entertained us very well and the vineyards were all beautiful and staff all very welcoming. Jacques seemed to have access to all the hidden gems at each location which is worth more than money can buy. Tasted and bought some lovely whites, rose’s and reds plus tapenades and at Chateau St Martin the most delicious aperitif Vin Cuit.

Fantastic Guide with Amazing Local Knowledge - Great Experience
Our guide, Jacques, was amazing -- he had been living in Cannes area for more than 28 yrs. and held a very prestigious degree in Art History, as well as serving as a Professor in the same for many years. His life experiences outside of these areas also made for a fascinating discussion. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind (and in particular patient and helpful with our 3- and 6-year olds). In addition to seeing ancient Roman ruins on the sight of one of the vineyards, we also visited a medieval city, complete with 13th century gate/port, winding streets, and a very peaceful stroll down the hill to the modern portion where we ate lunch. We would definitely recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy some great wines and a good dose of local Provence culture!
