    About this experience

    More than a wine tour, discover Provence through wine, gastronomy and local life with me. Having worked for years in one of the region’s major wineries, I'll take you beyond the usual tourist paths to explore the beautiful Sainte Victoire Valley, the area I call home. Visit two selected wineries with different philosophies and discover the unique Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation. I'll explain the winemaking process, you'll taste different wines and enjoy a local olive oil tasting. After that, you can explore an authentic hilltop village or walk through the vineyards and countryside. We'll share a relaxed moment with a traditional game of pétanque and a gourmet picnic prepared by me with local specialties, fresh goat cheese, Provençal figs, lavender honey, local herbs and olive oil from my garden. It will be the perfect moment to open the rosé you enjoyed most during the day and share the Provençal art of living. A relaxed, authentic and premium experience in Provence.

    Best days ever

    Tom was the absolute best tour guide we could have imagined. My friend and I spent one day doing the wine and picnic tour, and the next day with Tom doing Gorges du Verdon and lavender fields and we had the most spectacular experience. Tom is so funny, and kind, and takes amazing photos. You can tell he truly loves what he does and we didn’t want our time to end. 100% will recommend to anyone I know visiting the area!!

    Response from the operator: Hannah, Jacky...Thank you for this review, the one on Google as well...Thank you for your trust and what can I say..For me it was an amazing time too during these 2 days ! Looking forward for your pictures and videos ! I am sure we will meet once again ! Take care, hugs !!! Tom - Happy Day in Provence

    Great guide, unique experience, loved the wine!

    Tom was a very amenable host and accommodated our special requests as we had restricted time. We went to a vineyard and a wine cooperative and tried lots of delicious wines, learning lots about how they were made and the culture of family wine-making. Although our picnic was rained off (which is really unusual!), Tom took us on a little drive and showed us a cool artists mansion and then dropped us at the hotel with our picnics and wine to take away! Despite the rain we all had a great time! Would highly recommend Tom. Great local knowledge, excellent English and more than helpful.

    Response from the operator: Ohhhh really thank you for your review ! 🙏🙏 I remember the day finished with a big, unusual rain, but I m glad you had a general good experience !! ❤️👌🙏

    Wonderful morning in Provence

    This is a fantastic half day trip. Tom was friendly, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about Provence. Lavender and sunflower fields, amazing scenery, exceptionally good wines and Pétanque - what a great morning Thank you Tom, your English and sense of humour are brilliant

    Response from the operator: Ohhhhh thank you guys!! I had a very nice and funny morning too with you, it was a pleasure! Don't forget you have a house to buy in Provence:) I'll help u as promised ! And continue to play pétanque, don't let your son in low be better :) it's a sport for retired people :)

    Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aix-en-Provence.

    How much does Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque cost?

    +

    Prices start at $295 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aix-en-Provence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aix-en-Provence is not rushed.

    Is Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aix-en-Provence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aix-en-Provence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aix-en-Provence and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Boutique Sainte-Victoire Wine Tour with Gourmet Picnic & Pétanque start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aix-en-Provence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Aix-en-Provence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Aix-en-Provence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour from Aix-en-Provence, Aix-en-Provence Food Tour – A Full French Meal by Do Eat Better, Provence Wineries and Luberon Villages Day Trip from Aix-en-Provence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Aix-en-Provence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Aix-en-Provence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
