The delicious wines of Provence 2016 will soon be born

Provence, a land of vineyards!

 Provence is a very fertile land.

It overflows with delicious A.O.C and A.O.P wines known for their taste and quality.

The beautiful sun which always shines on the region has something to do with it.

Fruits and vegetables are always better when they are sun drenched, it is also true for grapes.

Visits of vineyards: Instructive and gourmet.

Many vineyards in Provence open their doors to the public all year long and especially during the harvest so the visitors may discover the production process behind wine-making.

From the maintenance of the vines to the harvest of the grapes and, of course, the transformation of the fruit into nectar.

Personalized visits commentary by the winemaker will be very informative. They are usually followed by a tasting of the wines produced by the vineyard and regularly accompanied by delicious local products like cold cuts and cheeses made by local farmers.

Children are not forgotten, some vineyards even offer fun workshops around the harvest and the production of wine.

The opportunity for a nice family outing around one of the leading products of the Provencal land and gastronomy.
