More than a wine tour, discover Provence through wine, gastronomy & local lifestyle with me. Having a walk though the magical Sainte Victoire Valley, the area I call home, you'll immerse in the nature & feel the local ambiance beyond the usual tourist paths. Then, I'll explain you the specificity of the Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire appellation, a prestigious region with only 31 producers. I selected an organic estate, where you'll learn more about the wine production, the art of tasting & try their best gastronomic cuvées. After that, we'll play a traditional game of pétanque & share a gourmet picnic that I'll prepare for you with local saucisson, olives, goat cheese, figs, lavender honey, herbs & 3 different olive oils. It will be the perfect moment to open a delicious rosé from another winery made with totallly different grape varieties. Join me for this relaxed, authentic and premium experience sharing the Provençal art of living.

Tom is the best!!
Our day in the mountains of Provence was unbelievable! Tom was the best tour guide, so accommodating, so nice, and so knowledgeable of the region. He took us around to so many hidden gem spots, and our day ended with a poolside lunch and massage. Could not recommend Tom enough!!

Fantastic tour guide! 5 stars and beyond.
From start to finish Tom went above and beyond. He was friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable about any questions we had, even for things not related to the tour. He brought a great energy to the group. All the stops on the tour were excellent and I would happily recommend him.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the review ! I am happy that this tour and my way to do things matched with your expectations ! :)

A magnificent provincial day!
Mainly in the south for the sun and the beach, we wanted to discover the region differently. This day was SUPERB! Thomas is a very attentive, accommodating guide who knows Provence well. He shared some great anecdotes with us. Thanks to him, we had a really friendly, entertaining and relaxing time. The places we discovered during this excursion are very beautiful. The local dishes followed by the wine tasting were a treat! My friends and I enjoyed this day of escape. Thanks Thomas. I recommend !
Response from the operator: Thank you very much more you review, your time to write it, it was a real pleasure having you. Thank you for choosing Happy Day in Provence, merci !

Beautiful time in Provence
Tom's retreat is a serene sanctuary for anyone seeking rejuvenation and self-discovery. Set amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Provence, this retreat offers a perfect blend of tranquility and holistic experiences. Tom's dedication to Kundalini yoga brings a profound sense of balance and mindfulness to each session. Going beyond physical well-being, his focus on spiritual growth leaves participants feeling energized and centred after each session. The accommodations are exquisite. Relax in Tom's beautiful home that is not just filled with beautiful art, but also with warmth and comfort. The grounds are surrounded by lush greenery where you can escape to the shade, or bathe in the sun by the pool-- it's a haven for relaxation and reflection. And let's not forget the mesmerizing views of the surrounding region! One of the highlights of the retreat is the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. The sense of community and camaraderie among participants fosters a supportive environment where lasting friendships have been formed. Tom treated us to many activities. Personal highlights inclue a gorgeous hike full of panoramic views that led to a secluded beach with crystal-clear waters. We also had the opportunity to visit local markets, where we could find wonderful regional products: lavender, honey, wine. One of the more unique experiences was an evening hike up a nearby hill where we participated in a very special kirtan (chanting sacred hymns) in the serenity of the crisp night. Tom offers a transformative experience for the body, mind, and soul. I look forward to coming back!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much Josh for you review, your time to write it, it was a real pleasure having you. Thank you for choosing Happy Day in Provence, merci !

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aix-en-Provence.
How much does Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque cost?
+
Prices start at $1,244 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 Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque take?
+
Plan for about 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 Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with 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 Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with 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 An Aix-traordinary Walking City Tour of Aix-en-Provence, Cotes de Provence Wine Tour from Aix-en-Provence, Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour 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.
What is included in Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque?

Does Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque include hotel pickup?
+
