Provence Wineries and Luberon Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence

My sister and I spent a wonderful day with our local guide, Remy. We stayed in Provence for a week, and this was the highlight of our trip. Remy was friendly, knowledgeable, and prioritized our safety and comfort. At the first winery, we had great luck to see the grapes being harvested and crushed. The wine tastings were informative and the rosés in particular were of high quality. Lunch was on our own in Aix-en-Provence, but Remy had plenty of suggestions. In the afternoon, we toured the dreamy Luberon villages, with plenty of time to stop and explore. Our guide had lots of tips for the best sights, routes, and pictures in each village. He also did extra photo stops so we could capture the beauty of the region. On the ride home, Remy answered the group's questions about the best places to eat and shop in Aix-en-Provence. We took his advice over the next few days and every place he suggested was a hit. I'm American and have gone on a number of tours in Champagne, Tuscany, Napa, etc., but this was really a stand-out experience. Not to be missed and worth every euro.

This was a REALLY fun day. Remy was a great guide and we had a blast starting the day with a bunch of tastings at local vineyards and then having the opportunity to explore so many old villages on our own. This was great too if you don’t want to worry about driving down the very windy roads of Provence to have someone drive you to vineyards and to all of the villages and provide so much knowledge on wine and history of the land. Such a wonderful day!! Thank you!

Remy was an amazing tour guide, probably one of the best I've ever had. He's incredibly knowledgable about the wine making process, the local areas and also the history of the places we visited. He also made a massive effort to talk to and include everyone on the tour. The wine tasting was great fun and very informative, however, it's worth mentioning that you don't actually spend that much time discussing the wines you're tasting. We consumed all 5 wines (at the first venue) within 15 minutes and then were promptly taken to the next vineyard. The gift shop was lovely though and we bought some presents for home. The afternoon villages tour took us to some beautiful spots! One of the highlights of our trip for sure! All in all, I would definitely recommend this tour as it's certainly worth the money. It's just not necessarily the most interactive wine tasting experience that I've ever had.

The guide Giam was very good, very informative and humorous. We did the whole day tour so it was full on but great

This is a small bus tour, which makes it very nice. There were a total of seven travelers. The countryside was beautiful, especially the various views of Sainte-Victoire. The morning included stops at two winery tasting rooms with a narrative on wine production. The tasting at each included a good selection of wines. (Rose’ is the regional specialty.) The remainder of the day was spent seeing four quaint villages. We walked around 3 and they each had their own unique flare. Remy was our driver/guide and he was very polite, energetic and knowledgeable.

Met the nicest people. Our tour guide was great. On this particular tour, in the morning the tour goes out to the wineries. Then you're dropped back to Aix for lunch. We'd bonded with a couple of young Brits on the tour and had lunch with them. Our other companions only took the first part of the tour, so after lunch, the remainder of the Luberon excursion to the villages was just the four of us. Wonderful time.

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip!!!! Florence was my tour guide and she was wonderful. We experienced 2 wineries, the red mountains of Roussillon, the shops and sites of Lourmarin and Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages of France. This trip is a must for anyone visiting the Provence region. 5 stars!!!

Absolutely brilliant. Perfect size of group, only 5 people in the morning for the vineyard tours and wine tasting and then 7 in the afternoon for the luberon villages. Our tour guide Remy was excellent, very friendly and knowledgable and really enthusiastic!

The trip was good. Many aspects were interesting. Matt, our tour guide, was warm and inviting, and always willing to answer questions. The afternoon part of the trip was somewhat strange. We stopped in Aix for a 20-minute lunch brake, which was rushed. We were then taken to three villages in the Lubéron. In each village, we were given 1-1.5 hours to explore the town. It would have made so much more sense to have a more relaxed lunch in one of these villages. The main activity in these towns was to walk around and shop. More time was allotted to each one than necessary. They were fairly touristy, despite being old and quaint. Different scheduling would have allowed us to see more, eat a leisurely lunch, and shop less if we didn't want to....

Absolutely outstanding! We visited two wineries with guided tastings at each. We toured several of the local villages/towns. Greg was very attuned to the needs and desires of our group. He pointed out highlights and key sights for each town and was patient as we explored. My daughter and I would definately go on this tour again. This was our second tour with Greg as a guide - he was very insightful and openly shared information and local cultural insights. He is also a very good camera man. He helped us capture some great pics and took several of us together.
