Embark on a half-day wine tour through the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Sainte-Victoire Mountain, a stunning natural landmark that inspired the famous post-impressionist artist Paul Cézanne.

The Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire vineyards, nestled to the east of Aix-en-Provence, are renowned for their natural beauty and unique terroir. These vineyards benefit from the Mistral wind, which sweeps through the region, helping to create some of the most pure and authentic wines in France.
