A 3-hour small-group walking food tour in Nice with Vieux Nice tastings, Cours Saleya market stops, Provençal wine, and great sea views.
“A great walk with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We definitely recommend this activity!”
Small-group Provence wine tour from Nice with about 15 tastings across 3 estates, expert guides, and photo time in the countryside.
“Our tour guide, Peter, was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a great day. The three wineries we visited were extremely picturesque, and the wine was some of the best in Provence! Would definitely recommend this tour as a great day out”
Nice to Antibes, Cannes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Chateau Cremat wine tasting, and Gairaut Waterfall views in one day.
“Well considered times in each place. Cannes was a waste of time but zi suppose people want to see the red carpet. Coffee was double the usual price. St Paul was the highlight and another half hour there instead of Cannes would have been better.”
E-bike through Nice backroads to an organic vineyard, meet the winemaker, and enjoy an all-inclusive wine tasting with a small group.
“Fantastic guided bike tour up to the organic vineyard. Juan was a great guide and made sure everyone stayed safe during the ride. The e-bikes make it an easy and fun ride. Bring your lunch and enjoy the view while tasting the delicious wines. We came back with 3 bottles and thoroughly enjoyed the day.”
Spend 8 hours from Nice in a small group tasting Côtes de Provence wines at three top estates, with scenic village lunch break.

Drive a 1995 Land Rover from Nice to Château de Crémat for a garden visit and a six-wine tasting with an English guide.
“We had the best time on this tour, I booked it for 6 of us as we are all wine lovers and we have said it was the highlight of the holiday. We shared a ride with 2 people from New York, so it made it easy to talk to new people. Our Guide Paul was very polite and gave us a great tour of Nice going up to the Chateau. The Land Rover was extremely cool and was kitted out with comfy leather seats and music playing. The ride was around 30 mins to the Chateau and once there we were given a glass of wine of an our…”
Half-day organic wine tasting from Nice: Saint Paul de Vence, six wines in Saint Jeannet, and Riviera views from a hilltop village.
“My partner and I really enjoyed our wine tour. The experience was great! David was an amazing fun guide who was very helpful and had lots of knowledge of the surroundings on the journey. We got picked up on time and the winery was so nice with the most beautiful views. Good selection of wines to taste and Emmanuel was very informative with the making of the wines. We definitely recommend this tour!”
90-minute Bellet vineyard tour from Nice with a guided walk, cellar education, and tasting 3 wines with a sommelier in sea-and-alps views.

Ride a restored 1995 Land Rover Defender from Nice to a hilltop sunset, enjoy an à la niçoise apéritif with wine in a small group.
“Paul and his brother were fantastic. Paul transported us to amazing views before the sunset. His brother’s wife made some wonderful dishes. 10/10 would recommend.”
Taste 8 French wines in Nice city center with cheese and snacks, led by an English sommelier, for a fun 2-hour guided session.

Evening food and wine walk in Nice Old Town with 6 to 8 tastings, wine pairings, and a Place Masséna stop. Small group, 210 minutes.
“Heloise was a very friendly and well informed guide for our food tour of Nice. We were lucky to be the only people for that tour and she was very attentive, making the most of the time. There was a good variety of tastings (although as at one of the stops the quantity was for four people we didn't need to eat again that day) and the opportunity to try several wines. Pairing a local red wine with a charcuterie and cheeses seemed an odd recommendation, but Heloise knows what she is talking about and we were very happy to follow any further advice that she gave. Her photography skills…”
9-hour Provence tour from Nice with Antibes market, Cannes film sights, Saint-Paul-de-Vence art village, Chateau Cremat wine tasting, Gairaut views.
“We particularly enjoyed seeing different places and Stephan was very knowledgeable. Highlights were Antibes and St Paul de Vence. Stephan booked a restaurant for our lunch which was helpful. We would have preferred more time in Antibes and St Paul and maybe miss out the wine tasting/cheese platter.”
Pick a kind of day and see what France does best.
