What to expect

Each day combines driving, guided walks through towns and monuments, and wine-education stops. Mornings typically start with hotel pickup and a scenic minivan journey to the next region. You'll taste wines directly at cellars and estates, learning production methods from local vignerons. Afternoons involve exploring villages on foot—wandering cobbled streets, ducking into galleries and small museums, stopping for lunch at local bistros (not included). Evenings are free to rest at your hotel or wander the town. The pace is unhurried; no rushing between attractions. Expect three to four hours of driving total across the week, broken into manageable segments.

Good to know

Minimum age for tastings is 18. Minivan holds a maximum of six, so book early for a small-group feel. Suitable for all fitness levels, though village exploration involves some walking on uneven stone streets—wear comfortable shoes. Single-room supplements available at extra cost. Gratuities and souvenir purchases aren't included.
