Picnic & Wine Tasting on the French Riviera

Picnic & Wine Tasting on the French Riviera

Take a scenic drive to the palatial Château Crémat to tour the vineyard, taste wine and have a bite surrounded by the Bellet Hills.

Beginning with a boat transfer you'll take a picturesque drive through Nice's sun-drenched Bellet Hills to the impressive Château Crémat. Here you'll find a historic vineyard and a classic castle with storybook views of the Bay of Nice, Cap d'Antibes and the rolling Provençal Countryside. Tour the corridors, the wine cellar, the art gallery, the winemaking area, the lush gardens & Le Clos du Château before enjoying a wine tasting & picnic of homemade French goods overlooking the French Riviera.
