    Great Day in Provence wine country.

    A very nice day spending time in the wine region of Provence. The first stop was a very small farm setting, family run. While interesting I may have spent a bit less time here to allow for more time in the town of Aux Provence itself. A bit more guidance on what to do and see, where to eat etc in Aux Provence would be helpful. However, our guide Eric was exceptional in his knowledge of the wine, the area and had an engaging personality we thoroughly enjoyed the day and he was a large reason why. The last stop was really a spectacular view and enabled us to go into the fields and see a full scale operating winery. Very worthwhile. We would highly recommend the tour. In particular for those not that knowledgeable in wine making.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Debora for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had such a great experience with your guide. We have taken note of your comments and will take them into consideration in order to improve this experience. It’s always our goal to share our passion for Provence, its wines, and its beautiful landscapes, so your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again soon, as there is still so much more to discover in Provence!

    Six Star Experience

    This was one of the great tours of this type that we have done. The four of us were joined by a delightful young couple from London and our guide Eric met us as arranged in Marseille. Eric is simply a star. His English is first class and idiomatic but he delivers it with an exotic French accent which is a joy to listen to. He was a fund of information about the areas we travelled through and he even pointed out to us the district where Zinedine Zidane grew up. Then Eric reached zenith point in my esteem when he said that as a teenager he had even played in games against the young Zizu! Wow. Our weather was horrible but this didn’t matter. Our visit to the first winery and cheese makers was fascinating and the cheese and wines were lovely. We bought some. Then lunch in a rain lashed Aix was great fun and good value. In the afternoon Eric picked us up again for our second winery where we again were entertainingly informed about processes and production. Into a comfortable tasting salon where we sampled wines under Eric’s careful yet humorous guidance. Six wines. All different. No pressure was placed on us to buy but we simply had to grab a couple of bottles despite adding substantially to our suitcase weights for our journey home. Thanks Eric for a wonderful day. If we could award six stars we would.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with your guide on one of our wine tours— that’s exactly what we aim for! We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime when it's sunny! There’s always more to taste and explore in Provence. Cheers!

    Amazing way to experience the best of Aix and Provence wine from Msrdeille

    Absolutely wonderful. We stayed at the intercontinental marseille and the pickup was right in front of the hotel. Amazing guide, wonderful wine and cheese, and Aix was so far my most favorite French town of them all. Perfect way to make a stay in Marseille also include Provence and Aix and wine tasting and cheese.

    Erik was amazing! I highly recommended this tour if you’re looking to wine taste and have the time to explore on your own. Best of both worlds! Erik was super knowledgeable and went above and beyond for the group.

    Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marseille.

    How much does Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marseille usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Marseille is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marseille, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille?

    +

    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 Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille?

    +

    Around 12 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 Marseille 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 Marseille and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille 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 Marseille 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 Marseille?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marseille experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Beyond Bouillabaisse: Diving into Marseille’s Multicultural Stew, Marseille Guided Tour for 4 Hours with a Bilingual Local Guide, Marseille Food Tour – Full Meal of Local Tastes by Do Eat Better. 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 Marseille?

    +

    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 Marseille?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Full-Day Wine and Cheese Tour around Aix-en-Provence from Marseille?
