Why Take Part in A Wine Tour?
It goes without saying that many consider France to be the wine capital of the world. Many regions throughout France are home to prosperous vineyards which produce some of the most distinct and rich flavours of wine. And right here along the South-East coast is no exception. The Var region of Nice has a reputation for producing some of the sweetest rosés in the world. Amongst other high-quality wines of course.
Its one thing to know what you’re tasting, and it is another to understand what is behind the flavours. During our Wine Tasting Tours, you’ll be offered an informative introduction into the complex art of French winemaking. It’s a great opportunity to learn and even offer your own wine knowledge with people who share in your passion for fine wines. It’s our hope that you’ll walk away from the experience with your perception of wine having changed for the better.
