Description:

On this guided tour explore some of the most remarkable villages of Côtes de Provence and visit local wineries to taste renowned regional vintages. Sip delightful wines of the area, known for rosé and reds, which has made wine since ancient Greeks founded Marseille in 600 BC.

Côtes de Provence, the largest wine appellation in Provence, is the biggest producer with about 75% of region's wine production—primarily rosé. Visit the lovely village of Les Arcs and enter through the clock tower gateway to explore a medieval environment with a mix of steep streets and old buildings.

Wander narrow lanes lined by numerous old buildings before reaching St. Roseline chapel, nestled at the foot of a hill among the vineyards, and marvel at the famed Chagall mosaic and remarkable bronze lectern by Giacometti. Next, reach the town of Collobrières and see its renowned menhir (standing stone) before visiting Verne Chartreuse, an ancient monastery in the dense forest of the Maures mountains.

Then continue to Bormes-les-Mimosas, one of the most florally decorated towns in France. Admire old houses covered with pink tiles, walk on streets lined with flowers, and stroll through the medieval village with castle ruins and ramparts offering a panoramic view over the landscape. Explore the ruins of the old castle in Hyères before visiting several estate wineries to try renowned local wines.
