South of France 2024 Tour

 


 

Welcome to Montpellier, the jewel of the South!

In our South of France Wine Tour, our home base will be in Montpellier, a spectacular city that offers the architectural beauty of a major city with the quaint, comfortable feeling of a small town. You will enjoy meandering through its cobblestone streets, the large pedestrian area called “the egg”, exploring a myriad of shops, and museums ! This city is alive with excitement and offers an array of diverse activities, fabulous restaurants and fun festivals to all who visit.

Our South of France Wine Tour is fun, relaxing, educational, and interactive. All wine levels are welcomed and taken into consideration when we plan our visits.

Our tours involve luxury transportation, gourmet meals, select wine tastings, and cultural visits all in a very comfortable and relaxed setting.

Groups are limited in size to keep our wine explorations personal and to have access to special vineyards.
