Provence & Winery Sensations — Small Group Tour

Provençal Scenes & Winery Sensations

Enjoy wine tasting and lunch in the Domaine la Font des Peres, with free time in a nearby town.

Located in the heart of Provence, this local vineyard offers breathtaking views of the valley and the Sainte-Baume massif. Enjoy a meal on the estate, whose products of the farm are the stars in the kitchen (fruits, vegetables, olives, herbs from the garden), and where an on-site chef creates the meal that will be served with local blends. After your lunch, take a scenic drive over to Sanary-sur-Mer, to explore on your own.
