Wine tour Arnold gave us an excellent tour of 3 wineries giving his comprehensive knowledge and relaying his love of wine. A lovely picnic lunch was provided.Pamela_D28/06/2026Verified
Best Wine Tour ever! Arnaud did a great job. We were lucky and no one else was booked with us so it was a very private tour. All three wineries were great. The picnic lunch was great with a variety of items to eat and a great picnic area at the second winery. Arnaud has a great knowledge of wine and the area. You will not regret booking this tour!alexander27/06/2026Verified
Arnaud was truly fantastic. His extensive knowledge of the regional AOCs is impressive. He packed a lovely little déjeuner that helped us get through a long day. Arnaud was very considerate, bringing a wine cooler and water for everyone!HOUMAN_O22/06/2026Verified

Sampling wines of the Rhône Valley Arnaud was very knowledgeable and friendly. The three stops gave us a broad view of the variety of Rhône wines. Group size at 8 was quite manageable.Megan22/05/2026Verified
Amazing tour with Arnaud! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves wine. The three vineyards were amazing and we bought loads of wine from the tour. You will most likely get more taster glasses than stated as we did. Everyone was so friendly and informative and chose wines to our liking also. We will definitely come back to try other vineyards. Thank you againKristin22/05/2026Verified
We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Arnaud was very knowledgeable about the wineries we visited and the region in general. We were particularly impressed with the beautiful picnic he prepared for us with local food products. We highly recommend this tour and only wish we could have participated in Arnaud’s other tours. Next time!Viajero GetYourGuide20/05/2026Verified
Arnaud was excellent and the vineyards he selected were wonderful. Highly recommended!Marcia19/05/2026Verified
Worth the trip! Arnaut was engaging and knowledgeable. All 3 wineries were amazing. We were not rushed, the sommeliers informative and the wines were outstanding. Highly recommend- we like wine but have limited knowledge yet were very comfortable.Vyju_K23/04/2026Verified
Highly recommend Our guide was super knowledgeable respectful and entertaining. We had a great time tasting wines and laughing. The van was immaculate and service was top notch. Highly recommendKimberley McCallum22/04/2026
Great tour! Good value. Arnaud was a gracious and knowledgeable guide to our wine tasting experience. We enjoyed the vineyards we visited- each offering a different style of wine. The experience was educational and fun. We did not feel compelled to purchase anything.Claudia Gomes19/04/2026Verified
Our best day in Provence was with Arnaud, an extremely friendly, punctual, and professional guide. We had a very pleasant tour full of relevant information about wine production and the region where it's produced. But the icing on the cake was the picnic under a flowering tree in the heart of Provence, with fresh regional products and free-range eggs. It was incredibly thoughtful, everything very simple but made with love to offer a unique experience. Worth every penny!! Oh! And the wines were excellent (we tasted 12 in total!). We recommend Arnaud without hesitation.

Best wine tour ever This tour was so much more than a normal wine tasting. Our guide Arlo was very knowledgeable on the wines in Provence and the smaller regions. It gave us a deeper appreciation wine making. The lunch with local food was a highlight. The wine area of Chateauneuf du Pape is beautiful. We had such an enjoyable day.Janet_C14/04/2026Verified

I originally booked a wine tasting tour as a birthday present for my husband with another company who then cancelled it, as they didn't have a driver available. I was therefore nervous about booking this tour with Arnaud in case the same thing happened, but I needn't have worried. Everything was very well organised, Arnaud was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We ended up buying 4 bottles of wine, although there was never any pressure to do so. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend!Owen08/04/2026Verified
I cannot recommend this highly enough. We booked months in advance. 48 hrs before hand we got a reminder. On the day we got an email saying traffic was tough he might be late. He was 4 minutes late. Every thing else went like clockwork. Arnaund knows the area and the vinyards exceptionally well. He explained exactly what we were going to see, who had made it and why they did it that way. He had extremely good relationships with staff and management at the three vinyards we visited. We had excellent choices for tasting, we were pretty much on time all day and we had a lovely picnic in the vinyards to top it off. A really enjoyable dayEva05/04/2026Verified
We couldn't be happier with this wine tour. Arnaud is an exceptional guide who makes a difference from the very first minute. What impressed us most was his profound knowledge, not only of the wines and tasting notes, but also of the history and secrets of the region. It's clear he's passionate about what he does and knows how to convey it in an engaging way. His excellent level of English was also noteworthy; his fluency ensured perfect communication throughout. And to top it all off, we felt incredibly safe thanks to his superb driving; his brand-new van is spectacular, spotless, and very comfortable, making the transfers between vineyards a true pleasure.

Another great tour with Araund. This was our second tour with Araund and he didn’t disappoint. He’s extremely knowledgeable and you can tell his passion for wines. He was informative without being obtuse. The three wineries were all different enough to give a nice overview and selection of wines to taste. All in all a great day!Kathleen_M12/03/2026Verified
Do it 3 wineries- all different- great wines - very nice vintners. Lots of information shared in a very nice atmosphere Do itJulia12/01/2026Verified
Arnaud was very knowledgeable and friendly. As we drove through the landscape, he described much of the natural features that distinguish different wine regions. As we approached each winery, he told us fascinating short histories of each and knew the proprietors very well.SuffolkStTraveller06/01/2026Verified
Fantastic experience - a must do! What a great experience!! Guided around the region with a knowledgable and friendly guide… and great wines to boot! Don’t miss this half day to learn more about the Cote De Rhone region.Mike31/12/2025Verified

Awesome knowledgeable and welcoming guide who also drove smoothly and safely throughout the tour. Fun small-group wine tastings at 3 locations made for a memorable experience.Kelsi08/11/2025Verified
The highlight of our tour was hands down Arnaud. He made the afternoon so enjoyable and educational. He was happy to have a laugh, and patient with us wanting to learn to pronounce a few French words. He never made us feel like we needed to rush. The amount of knowledge he has around wine is phenomenal. To top it all off, the three wineries he took us to offered uniqueness which just added to the experience. We can’t recommend this tour enough! Thank you Arnaud!!!Josh01/11/2025Verified
We loved both the variety of vineyards and wines on offer as well as the taste of them. Arnoud has curated a wonderful tour with some very friendly Domaines and in beautiful locations. The Domaines were beautiful, rich in heritage, locally and nationally important, but also felt very private just for us and not just churning through groups of people. His choice in Beaumes de Venise was especially beautiful and rooted in history. Arnoud was a very lovely host who is evidently passionate about not only wine but the region as a whole. As a local he was able to give us more understanding of what we were seeing, the environment and lay of the land, how the land and different microclimates affect the vine growing and grape flavours. His picnic is also vlovely, sourcing a lot of the food from his village and even his own garden. It was a pleasure to enjoy muscat grapes in their fruit. juice, and wine forms all in the same day.Laureen24/10/2025Verified
excellent excursion to three boutique wineries in three appellation. The wines and hospitality were excellent, and our guide was very good. it's more than the wines though. it's an excursion into the countryside, through beautiful villages and seeing chateaus.GetYourGuide Traveller24/10/2025Verified
The tour was very good! Our guide was very good giving us information on the wineries we were going to and the kinds of wine we would be tasting during our drive. He was very knowledgeable and fun to be with for the afternoonCathy21/10/2025Verified
Our tour guide was exceptional. He was pleasant and provided lots of pertinent information regarding the wine making area and the vineyards we were to visit. We were disappointed with our stop at the Chateauneuf du Pape winery. It is usually one of favourite wines but the tastings at that particular winery provided young wines for sampling. I would have preferred to pay slightly more for better samples to taste. The previous winery visited proved his best wines and we enjoyed those wines much more than the Chateauneuf de Pape wines.harry18/10/2025Verified
A taste of Provence Arnaud , our guide, was a knowledgeable and excellent local . He provided us with every bit of information on the area, numerous tastings at three wineries in the region and a superb lunch treat of local delicacies and drinksStephen_A16/10/2025Verified
Breezing along Provence’s GSM(Grenache,Syrah,Mourvèdre) vineyards Our driver and guide Arnoux, is a very knowledgeable wine guy who truly loves showing the sun-drenched vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape, Beaumes de Venise and Gigondas. He’s a very easy, amiable and a real people person, who travels the World whenever he gets the chance. His tour, I truly enjoyed and I would highly recommend..Arnaldo03/10/2025Verified
Arnaud, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The wineries visited were family run, the people running the tastings very informative and easy to understand. We also lucked out with an extremely fun group of 6! Arnaud served a delicious brunch of produce from around his town - all local cal delicacies were tasty.Helen30/09/2025Verified

Our host was very knowledgeable and congenial. I live in Sonoma County in California and have had many wine tasting experiences and I was impressed with this tour.Vince_H13/09/2025Verified
Chateauneuf-du-Pape Wine tour The Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine tour was amazing from start to finish. Arnoud our guide was from the area and is doing a job he truly loves. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome and comfortable visiting the three wineries our tour. You could tell that he had a great relationship with the wineries and that they were comfortable letting him show us around some of their behind the scenes areas. His commentary fit well with their history of each winery, and our group gained a lot of knowledge about each wine and the hard work that went into its production. We had a picnic lunch provided by our guide with a selection of foods native to the area that were all delicious. Probably the best wine tour I have experienced, and that is saying a lot.Shipwrecked4913/09/2025Verified

We all enjoyed the wines tasted and cheers!, enjoy the wineAdam12/09/2025Verified
Excellent tour! Arnoud was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable about wine, the wineries, and the region. Also great with answering questions about other tours and what to do and where to go. He also brought local food from his village for the picnic at the second winery. It was longer than expected but I think that was all about him adapting to our questions and pace. He also took us to the castle in Chateauneuf de Pape and that was impromptu because we showed interest. All in all a great tour especially for the price! Merci beaucoup, Arnoud!Voyage64407812/09/2025Verified

Arnold was an amazing guide, made us comfortable and showed us some outstanding wineries. Our favourite had to be the winery in Chateneuf du Pape a real star.Rodrigo24/06/2025Verified
Arnaut was the best guide during 3 excellent wine makers, all of them with impressive wines from specific zones: Chateauneuf du pape, Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise. The choice was clever also by the fact the last winery has a hidden gem based on sweet wines, so everything was exclusive and special. I felt this trip was a private trip by the guide proximity, but the small group was super!!! Unforgettable trip!! 🙏🏻Frances_C21/06/2025Verified

Great wine tasting experience We had a great wine tasting experience. Our guide was prompt, friendly, and professional. He had a good working knowledge of the region and selected excellent chateaux for the tastings. He was clearly well received by the staff at the wineries as well. Overall, it was an excellent 3 hour wine tour.Frank12/06/2025Verified
I like almost everything about this trip. the guide was excellent intelligent and well informed car was very comfortable we had an intimate group of five. I would have never thought I a half-day tour could pack so much into that amount of time my favourite was the Chateauneuf-du-Pape winery. I was surprised I didn't enjoy the wines in Gigondas more. but what I liked is that it was an introduction to flavor profiles not familiar to me. Beaumes de Venise winery was incredibly diverse and I believe produced mostly biological wines. this is a great trip provided by an incredible guide don't doubt the idea of going for a second it's wonderful!Karina11/06/2025Verified

The tour was excellent! Our guide, Arnaud is very knowledgeable and engaging. The tastings that he chose were perfect. Each very good and diversified. The wines? Well, they speak for themselves! Excellent! The lunch that Arnaud supplied was so thoughtful. He chose selections from or around the village where he lives. Authentic and delicious! In our tour we had English speaking and French speaking companions. Arnaud seamlessly navigated both languages. This is a tour that I would definitely recommend!!! Prost! 🥂Christopher_A06/06/2025Verified

He cared so much for the guests and was very attentive and keen to ensure we all had a good time. He took us to some very unusual and different wineries and we tasted a very wide variety of different wines.

Excellent personable wine tour It was a great experience in a 4 people group. Arnaud was personable, kind, and knowledgeable about the region and wines. He brought us local produce from his hometown for lunch, which was very tasty. We visited 3 different wineries and tasted a lot of wines, learnt quite a lot about wine making. We met awesome local folks who were very friendly. It was great to have an almost private tour without huge crowds. Big cudos to our guide Arnaud who did an excellent job! It’s not a tour run by a big company, it’s Arnaud’s small business venture. I believe that made the experience a lot more memorable and personable. Highly recommend.
