Tour summary
Discover the rich heritage, remarkable diversity, and exceptional wines of Provence, France's oldest wine-producing region, on an exclusive private journey through three outstanding estates.
Viticulture in Provence dates back over 2,600 years, when the ancient Greeks introduced the first vines to the region around 600 BC. Today, Provence is celebrated around the world as the birthplace of fine rosé, producing some of the most elegant and acclaimed wines of their kind. Alongside its renowned rosés, the region also crafts outstanding reds and whites that reflect the diversity of its unique terroirs.
This carefully curated experience introduces you to three exceptional wineries, each with its own distinctive history, philosophy, and expression of Provençal winemaking.
Your first visit is to Château Beaupré, one of Provence's most respected family-owned estates. Established in 1855, six generations of the same family have carefully preserved its traditions while producing elegant organic wines that beautifully express the character of the Aix-en-Provence terroir.
Continue to Château Bonisson, an estate where exceptional winemaking meets contemporary art and architecture. Set within a beautifully restored 18th-century country house surrounded by vineyards and ancient woodland, Bonisson is both a destination and a centre of creativity. Its state-of-the-art winery and contemporary art centre create one of Provence's most distinctive wine experiences.
Your final discovery takes you to Château La Verrerie, an exceptional estate nestled on the border between Provence and the Southern Rhône Valley, in the heart of the Luberon. Covering 48 hectares of vineyards, the estate produces elegant wines that perfectly reflect this unique meeting point of two celebrated wine regions. Here, tradition, innovation, and an exceptional natural setting combine to create wines of remarkable finesse and character.
Throughout the day, enjoy guided visits of each estate, explore historic cellars and modern wineries, and savour carefully selected tastings that showcase the very best of Provence. From delicate rosés to expressive whites and structured reds, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the region's rich winemaking heritage and its continuing pursuit of excellence.
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of vineyards, rolling hills, and picturesque Provençal countryside, this immersive private experience offers a wonderful celebration of Provence's history, culture, and world-class wines.
