Why take part in a wine tourism tour of Provence?
For 26 centuries, the lands of Provence are the greatest source of wealth for regional viticulture. The wines of Provence vary greatly from one region to another, depending on climatic conditions. The region's winemakers can produce fruity rosés, full-bodied reds and distinctive whites.
So, to find out more about the different varieties of wine in Provence, more and more visitors are opting for a wine tour.
What is a wine tourism circuit?
Individually or in groups, wine tours are becoming increasingly popular with holidaymakers. They offer the chance to visit one or more regions and to take part in a wide range of activities, while optimising time and travel, thanks to a multi-stage organisation.
This type of itinerant trip is usually well prepared in advance so that you can make the most of your stay without having to worry about organisation.
A wine tour involves visiting several sites and vineyards in the same wine-growing region to discover the specialities of each producer. The atmosphere is friendly and authentic, and it's an opportunity to meet the local producers and taste the different products directly where they were made.
These visits are often combined with introductory courses in oenology and wine tasting, or an insight into the workings of the vineyard.
In general, this is a package that includes overnight stays in different establishments as well as the various means of transport to get from one site to another.
Why choose a wine tour for your next holiday?
The wine tourism circuit is ideal for your next holiday if you want to enjoy an authentic experience away from the crowds of holidaymakers during peak periods.
Wine-growing regions are ideal for recharging your batteries, breathing in the fresh country air, reconnecting with yourself and strengthening ties with family and friends.
It's also a guarantee of a holiday rich in emotions and new encounters. You'll discover exceptional know-how and get away from your daily routine. You'll discover new habits and experience unforgettable moments of sharing.
Going on a wine tourism tour means discovering a new, more original and authentic way of travelling, one that runs counter to mass tourism.
