Just okay
payal P, Aug 2025
This experience was okay. It would have been better if the winery was disclosed before booking. Also, there wasn’t a tour of the winery. We were explained the wine making process while seated during the four tastings.
Highly recommend!

Our tour guide was Alex. He shared a lot of knowledge about the areas we passed through, as well as the destination and winery. St Paul de Vence is one of my favorite medieval cities, filled with art galleries and once home to many renowned artists. The wine tasting was also fun - we tried whites, roses and reds from the vineyard, and they explained the process and history of winemaking in Provence! Really a fun time, thank you to Alex and to Lucca!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Judy, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful time on the tour with Alex. St Paul de Vence truly is a magical place, rich in history and art, and we're glad you enjoyed discovering it with us. It's also great to know that the wine tasting experience was fun and informative — Provence wines have such a unique story to tell! We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both Alex and Lucia. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon! Tour Azur Team

A very pleasant morning

This was a fantastic tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to go to Saint Paul de Vence as it had been closed to the general public because of a United Nations event going on in Nice, so David (our excellent guide) and his colleagues had come up with a very comparable plan B - a visit to Tourrettes-sur-Loup. This was a wonderful, charming little place with hardly any tourists. We then went onto the wine tasting which was interesting to say the least, especially for people like me know don't know the first thing about wine! Then back towards Nice in time for lunch. David was excellent - exceptionally knowledgeable and his time spent explaining things during the journey made the experience all the better. Thank you David - I'm so glad I did this and had you as our guide!

Dear Paul, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're truly glad you enjoyed the day, even with the unexpected closure of Saint-Paul de Vence due to the United Nations event in Nice. Tourrettes-sur-Loup is indeed a hidden gem, and we’re happy it offered a peaceful and charming alternative. It’s great to hear you found the wine tasting interesting and that David helped make the experience even more memorable with his knowledge and commentary. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him! We hope to welcome you again soon for another Riviera adventure. Tour Azur team
Itinerary
St-Paul-de-Vence
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.
1 hourVignoble Rasse
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.
