Exclusive Wine Tasting Tour in Nice with Riviera Estates

 

Welcome to the south of France. We invite you to enjoy a quintessential experience of our region: exploring the vineyards and tasting their wines.

A private full-day escape with door‑to‑door pickup, three handpicked estates, guided tastings, and time to wander Saint‑Paul de Vence—this is what french riviera wine tours were always meant to feel like: intimate, unhurried, and quietly unforgettable.

We had a great visit to the Bellet AOP wine region. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about wine and also the region since he grew up there. The lunch spot chosen was very nice.

Wonderful day

Commenté le 14/07/2025

We had a great day with Azur wine tours and Peter as our tour guide. I loved how easy it was from the pick up at your accommodation to lunch reservation at a wonderful restaurant in Saint Paul de Vence. We went to 3 excellent vineyards that all had their own unique charm and scenic views. We left with plenty of wine to bring home. I highly recommend this wine tour and full day experience!
