Overview

    A unique private wine tour in the scenic landscape of Mont Sainte Victoire inspiration for post impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, who painted many pictures of the mountain from 1880. We begin the tour exploring the old town of Aix-en-Provence seeking out some of the historic areas associated with Cézanne and a visit to discover the street markets and an abundance of local food produce. Provence considered some of the most natural in France, due to the drying effects of the Mistral wind & shallow rocky soils, formed by limestone & sandstone which produces high quality vines. Learn about the characteristics of the land whilst visiting the cellars of two different vineyards. Meet the winemakers, taste the wines - full-bodied reds, subtle elegant rosés & distinctive whites. In the middle of the day, lunch to sample local provençal cuisine - an exceptional day out sampling the delights of good food & wine and discovering the delights of Cézanne country in the heart of Provence.

What to Expect

    A unique experience that begins in the old town of Aix-en-Provence. Discover the oldest food market in Provence and be captivated by the choice, freshness and variety of the local produce. Then take a tour with us through the Provençal countryside to Château de Beaupré, a family of winemakers since 1890, when Baron Emile Double planted vines and created the winery. The fourth generation of the family now work together to perpetuate the winemaking traditions on this exceptional 43 hectares of organic vines set in the countryside to the north of Aix-en-Provence. Château Bonisson an extraordinary place. Both a destination and a source of inspiration, it is an epicentre of creativity with a streak of independence. The estate – a beautifully preserved oasis of charm with its 18th century country house and Italianate terrace overlooking vineyards bounded by woods and a hill studded with ancient oaks and art centre.
