7 Best Wine Tours in Nice for Your French Riviera Vacation [2024]

Trying to find the best wine tours in Nice for your southern France vacation? Read on for 7 great options!

Did you know that there are over 27,000 (!!!) wineries scattered all around France, producing over 200 varieties of wine??

Of course, you can drink wine in just about any restaurant in France, but a dedicated wine tasting will take you through several different selections of wine (including red, white, and rosé), explaining the region it comes from, notable features, and the production process to grow the grapes and create the wine.

Some of these Nice wine tours focus exclusively on wine tastings, and some include visits to beautiful, idyllic vineyards just outside the city. This is a lovely and quintessential “French” thing to do when you visit Nice !

Wine Tastings in the French Riviera Countryside Tour

This small group, full-day tour from Nice takes you to three gorgeous and unique wineries, plus a stop in a charming village for lunch. It’ll be an idyllic day sipping wines in the French countryside.

Provence wine region france, 13 best provence wine tours (2023), provence wine tours comparison, is a wine tour in provence worth it, tips for planning your provence wine tours, where to stay in nice, provence wine tours: faq, wrap-up: 13 best provence wine tours (2023).

Before I explain the best tours, I want to explain some background information on the famed Provence wine region. That way, you have a little foundation and better understand what you have to look forward to! 🤠 First, France’s Provence wine region has been making wine for over 2,600 years. This makes it the oldest viticultural (wine-producing) area in all of France, eclipsing the well-known Bordeaux wine region by about 600 years! With such a long-standing history, there are understandably quite a few wineries in the region… as in over 400 of them! Talk about being a vineyard-rich countryside 😅

This region of France is able to produce so much wine because of its favorable climate, which is largely thanks to the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea regulates the weather such that there are plenty of sunny days and a few rainy days. In addition, the region has something called the “Mistral” wind, which also helps to keep the vineyards dry and free of pesky bugs. Add the unique geography and soils infused with limestone and crystalline schist (granite); the region has perfect conditions for growing an assortment of grapes! As a result, there are a total of 9 regions or AOC (Appellation de’Origin Contrôlée) in Provence. I won’t dive into all 9 as you’ll learn about them on the tours, but there are about 450 AOCs in all of France!

Which Wine Is Provence Most Famous For?

The Provence wine region is renowned worldwide for its exquisite rosé wines. That’s right, 88% of Provence’s wine production is the beloved, delicate pink-hued wine! There’s even a one-of-a-kind research institute dedicated to studying and perfecting the art of crafting rosé! Currently, a rosé from Provence is usually a harmonious blend of Grenache, Counoise, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvedre!

And while rosé may steal the spotlight, it’s important to note that Provence is also home to exceptional red and white wines. Thus, you can expect to taste a good mixture of rosés, reds, and whites in your wine-tasting experience!

Map of Provence Wine Region

If geography isn’t your strong suit, here’s a little map to give you an idea of the general Provence area in relation to a few popular cities along the French Riviera. As you can see, Nice is located near the Italian border with the rightmost pin. About 30 minutes from Nice is Cannes, which is renowned for hosting the annual Cannes Film Festival.

The pin that is almost directly beneath the purple pin is Toulon, which is a much smaller port city. Thus, you’ll find a lot of ships, warships, and maritime-related activities in the city if you visit. To the left of Toulon, about 1.25 hours west via train, is Marseille. This is the second most populous French city and one of the oldest cities to be established in France. It functions as one of the most important port cities and as you explore the city, you’ll notice distinct Brutalist architecture!

Finally, the leftmost pin is Avignon, which is a quaint medieval town, much like the historic city of Carcassonne . This small city was once the center of Christianity with 7 generations of popes residing in the Palace of the Popes!

Alright, now that you have a bit of background knowledge on the prolific and famous Provence wine region, it’s time to dive into the best Provence Wine Tours! Just as a heads up, I’ve broken the tours up by location, this way you can easily find a tour that fits your itinerary based on where you’re based. I’ll start off with Nice in this first section. But, if you happen to be staying in another city along the French Riviera, feel free to click below to jump to that section of the post.

Whew! Yeah made it! Alright, I’m someone who likes visuals to quickly tell the differences between my options. So, if you’re like me or have simply forgotten the nuances of each of the Provence wine tours that leave from Nice, here’s a little table summarizing them. If any of the tours interests you, simply click the name and you’ll be linked to the full page that contains the fine details.

🇫🇷 PRO TIP: Oh and if you’re viewing this on your mobile, consider turning your phone sideways such that the words are reading across the long side. I find that this enhances the chart’s readability.

My very biased two cents is that these yes, it’s worth it. Let me explain from a broke adult perspective lol… because I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be a financially stable adult — yet 🤠

First, these tours take you directly to la crème de la crème Provence wineries where you get to sip on the region’s renowned wines and indulge in local gastronomic delights. And as mentioned previously, there are literally hundreds of wineries in the region, so finding the best ones can be difficult.

Not to mention, if you aren’t planning a road trip through the region, transportation to the wineries is another factor you’ll have to work out.

Moreover, a wine tour allows you to embark on this journey with a knowledgeable guide who possesses an intimate understanding of the region, its vineyards, and its cultural heritage. When I first solo traveled, I wouldn’t do tours because I was so broke (typical college student vibes I know 🥲).

However, I now prioritize these incredible experiences over staying in super nice hotels (okay most of the time). I’ve realized how tours grant you the valuable opportunity to delve deep into the local culture, which is so much better than reading from your phone.

Finally, these tours provide a chance to connect with fellow wine enthusiasts from around the world. One of my favorite bits about traveling is just getting to meet new people. These tours create an easy outlet for swapping stories and making lasting connections with people who share a common appreciation for wine, culture, and exploration!

So, if you have the means (because I am not trying to endorse going into debt lol) I absolutely believe in embarking on a cultural experience through the breathtaking region of Provence!

• ✅ Book ahead of time: Whether you’re traveling through Paris or Toulouse, drinking wine is like the national pastime in France…okay, maybe next to protesting 😅 Regardless, I recommend booking ahead of time to ensure you get your preferred time slot and experience. Some of these small group tours will actually cancel if you wait until the last minute because the tour operators don’t think there’s any interest and have a minimum requirement to run.
• 🍴  Have dietary restrictions? : If your food tour includes lunch, make sure to inform the guide beforehand about any dietary restrictions or allergies you have. They are usually able to make accommodations as long as you give them advance notice.
• 🍷 Don’t drink on an empty stomach: The golden rule of drinking is always to eat beforehand! I didn’t know that my first time and had to learn the hard way… 🥲

• 💧  Water Bottle  — Similarly, although you will be consuming a lot of wine, it is crucial to still drink some water.
• 🌞  Check the weather:  Check the weather before you leave and plan accordingly. I.E. Don’t forget to sunscreen!
• 🚗  Check departure points and times:  Please ensure that you verify the meeting location for your tour and consider the travel time from your accommodation. Note that only a few tours offer hotel pick-up.
• 📸  Bring your Camera:  Make sure to document your experience by taking lots of pictures so that you can share the story with your loved ones when you return home!
• 🤠  Enjoy the experience:  And of course, remember to have a fabulous time fully immersing yourself in the rich culture of the Provence wine region.

If you are staying in Nice, here are a few recommendations on where to stay based on where I’ve stayed and the research I’ve done for my multiple visits to Nice!

Low-Cost Stays

• Hostel Ozz & Bar — lovely hostel that I loved staying at! | ⭐️  8.6 / 10
• Villa Bougainville by Happyculture  — awesome 4-star hotel | ⭐️  7.8 / 10

Mid-Range Stays

Yes! You can absolutely visit wineries in Provence even if you decide to not go on a tour. You would just need to make a reservation for touring. I would also recommend renting a car as public transportation is very limited outside the city.

Depending on the experience, a Provence wine tour can range from about $100 USD to $500+ USD for the more exclusive, private tours.

Although summer is when people are usually available to travel, I’d argue the best time of the year for a wine tour in France is April – June or September to October . I’ve been to France during both of these times of the year and it’s so much more enjoyable. You don’t have to deal with throngs of crowds, hotels cost half the price, and some of the tours actually provide small discounts! One thing to note is that harvesting season typically runs from August until October. Thus, vintners are often busy in the fields, so you’ll want to be sure to book in advance as supply tends to dip.

Most people will argue that Bordeaux is the region of France with the best wine. However, I’d argue that it really depends on the type of wine you prefer. Other wine regions in France include the Rhône Valley & Beaujolais wine region , Loire Valley, Burgundy, Champagne, and Saint Émilion to name a few.

Yes LOL. From my experience, this is the one French stereotype that always holds true. The French love their wine and they will drink it every chance they get!

In conclusion, Provence’s most famous wine is undoubtedly its exquisite rosé. With its iconic pale hues, delightful aromas, and refreshing character, Provence rosé embodies the essence of the region’s winemaking tradition. That said, the region also offers elegant reds to its vibrant whites that reflect the unique terroir and passion of the winemakers, making Provence a true paradise for wine lovers. So, if you’re keen on delving into the rich wine culture of France, be sure to take a fabulous Provence wine tour during your stay on the French Riviera !

“I just want to say how much we loved our tour with Provence Wine Tours. Our guide looked after our every need and was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine making process. All three wineries offered a different experience and all were friendly and welcoming. Cassis is a quaint seaside village as you promised and the overlook was outstanding-so glad our guide took us to the top! Thanks again for your services. We would highly recommend your company to anyone inquiring” –  Brad Yungblut

Amazing trip!

Our guide was amazing, and the crew was fun! We learned a lot and got to escape the city for a day! We visited 3 vineyards and enjoyed every minute. Donald D

“Nothing short of amazing! From the first communication with the team. They were so quick to respond and provide different options for tours. To our wonderful tour guide. We can not say enough about him. He was so knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the different wines to us and showed us around the vineyards. We loved our stop at le Castelet such a great little village tucked away with cute stores. And lunch in Cassis was delicious. Probably the best meal we had on our entire vacation! Such an enjoyable day all around. »  –  Joseph Esoff

“Fantastic team at Provence Wine tours; I’ve been seven times and cannot rate it enough. Always a destination of choice when I have friends who haven’t visited the South of France before. I’ve been lucky enough to have Stephane on many of my trips and he’s always impressed with his ease of manner, knowledge and ability to make the hours fly by.  I look forward to many more trips. » –  Thomas knapp

An experience not to be missed.

We did a private full day wine tour of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region. We were a group of 12, and had an absolutely brilliant day. The tour was well organised, guides were delightful & informative. They were very flexible too in letting us have input in certain vineyards that members of our group wanted to visit. The transport was comfortable, and a plus was that they could arrange delivery of the wine back to our home countries. Highly recommend and a tour not to be missed if you are in the region! Aveens

“Loved our wine tour around Sainte Victoire mount – the limestone mountains were incredible. Fantastic host, knowledgeable, friendly and loves to have a laugh. Wineries were superb and a great representation of the area. 10/10 – I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!! » –   Brendan Garlick

A highlight of our trip!

My husband and I were very happy with our wine tour experience! It was so nice to be in a small group where we could ask lots of questions and get a more personal experience. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much information about the wine, the area, and the culture. The wineries we went to, were absolute gorgeous–beautiful views and delicious wine. What more could you ask for? We came with very little background knowledge of the wine making process so it was so fascinating to hear all about it. This tour was one of our favorite excursions and I would definitely recommend it, as it is fun, informative, and an amazing value! Katie F.

Our Commitments

Your reviews, an experience not to be missed..

We did a private full day wine tour of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region. We were a group of 12, and had an absolutely brilliant day. The tour was well organised, guides were delightful & informative. They were very flexible too in letting us have input in certain vineyards that members of our group wanted to visit. The transport was comfortable, and a plus was that they could arrange delivery of the wine back to our home countries. Highly recommend and a tour not to be missed if you are in the region! Aveens

“Fantastic team at Provence Wine tours; I’ve been seven times and cannot rate it enough. Always a destination of choice when I have friends who haven’t visited the South of France before. I’ve been lucky enough to have Stephane on many of my trips and he’s always impressed with his ease of manner, knowledge and ability to make the hours fly by.  I look forward to many more trips. » –  Thomas knapp

Amazing trip!

Our guide was amazing, and the crew was fun! We learned a lot and got to escape the city for a day! We visited 3 vineyards and enjoyed every minute. Donald D

Perfect wine tour!

We had an amazing time on this tour! My fiancé and I have been on several wine tours in the United States and were interested to learn more about French wines, in particular wines from Provence. This tour was exactly what we hoped for! Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He provided helpful background information about classification of French wines and then introduced us to wine making in Provence. We went to 3 vineyards – all were excellent and different!!! We really enjoyed the variety, and we were able to taste white, rosé, and red wines at each site (and Peter kindly showed us how to taste the wines properly). The town we stopped in for lunch was also enjoyable with multiple food options across different price ranges. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour to others looking for a more intimate introduction to the wines of Provence . Ptwice24 .

“I just want to say how much we loved our tour with Provence Wine Tours. Our guide looked after our every need and was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine making process. All three wineries offered a different experience and all were friendly and welcoming. Cassis is a quaint seaside village as you promised and the overlook was outstanding-so glad our guide took us to the top! Thanks again for your services. We would highly recommend your company to anyone inquiring” –  Brad Yungblut

“Nothing short of amazing! From the first communication with the team. They were so quick to respond and provide different options for tours. To our wonderful tour guide. We can not say enough about him. He was so knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the different wines to us and showed us around the vineyards. We loved our stop at le Castelet such a great little village tucked away with cute stores. And lunch in Cassis was delicious. Probably the best meal we had on our entire vacation! Such an enjoyable day all around. »  –  Joseph Esoff

“Loved our wine tour around Sainte Victoire mount – the limestone mountains were incredible. Fantastic host, knowledgeable, friendly and loves to have a laugh. Wineries were superb and a great representation of the area. 10/10 – I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!! » –   Brendan Garlick

A highlight of our trip!

My husband and I were very happy with our wine tour experience! It was so nice to be in a small group where we could ask lots of questions and get a more personal experience. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and shared so much information about the wine, the area, and the culture. The wineries we went to, were absolute gorgeous–beautiful views and delicious wine. What more could you ask for? We came with very little background knowledge of the wine making process so it was so fascinating to hear all about it. This tour was one of our favorite excursions and I would definitely recommend it, as it is fun, informative, and an amazing value! Katie F.

Wine Tasting in Nice: 8 Places You Have to Try

Wine tasting in Nice is, as the French would say, ooh la la une expérience extraordinaire. That's something which you may find surprising as Nice isn't particularly renowned on the French wine circuit, but there's a good reason for that. The wines of Nice are so good that they like to keep them all to themselves, and once you've had a sip or two at a wine tasting, you'll start to understand why.

Nice is surrounded by several of France's prestigious wine regions. You'll quite likely be offered wines produced from the vineyards of the Côtes de Provence , Bandol, and Cassis at pretty much most wine tastings you go to in Nice. They're some of the more productive appellations in the Provence wine region, and while rosé is the wine that dominates the market, there are some palatable reds and whites made in Provence too.

To taste the best of the best in Nice, though, you don't need to go on a lengthy, time-consuming winery tour along the Côte d'Azur. There's a winery on the outskirts of Nice in such a stunning setting that it will leave you breathless before you've even had a sip of their outstandingly lovely wines.

Whether you're going on a wine tasting trip visiting wineries in the Provence region or just doing wine tastings in the city as something to do in Nice at night , doing it with your baggage in tow is not the best idea. You'll need two free hands for tasting wine, one for the glass and the other to pick at the nibbles, so carrying stuff around won't be comfortable or convenient. If you need somewhere secure to leave your luggage, then the best solution by far is to use a Bounce luggage locker in Nice .

Château de Bellet

A wine tasting experience in Nice doesn't get better than the one you'll have at the Château de Bellet. This amazing small vineyard and winery occupies a hilltop within the city limits of Nice, and while it's only a 15-minute cab ride from Nice Old Town, you could be in the middle of the French countryside miles from anywhere.

With a name like Château de Bellet, you might expect this winery to be housed in a historic castle-like French chateau, but it's not. The winery is a relatively modern construction topped by a renovated 19th-century church and deluxe events venue, below which are the subterranean cellars where the wine is aged. The view from the upper patio is amazing and a popular spot for wedding photos.

Go on a winery tour of the Château de Bellet, and you'll be given a map and left to wander through the vineyards at your own pace. When you've explored enough, you'll be given a guided tour of the winery and then get to taste the wines from the three types of grapes they grow.

The chateau is truthfully somewhere you may want to spend an entire morning or afternoon. As well as the general wine tastings, you can take a picnic in the vineyards, take an oenology workshop, or participate in a game of petanque. But, sometimes, the best thing to do is just chill out with a bottle of wine under the olive trees and immerse yourself in the wonderful Mediterranean atmosphere. It is truly a wine lovers paradise.

482 Chem. de Saquier, 06200 Nice

La Part des Anges

No wine lover could walk past the door of La Part de Anges and not be tempted to go in. This wine cave on the Rue Gubernatis stocks over 300 different wines and then some. Enter the shop, and it'll be like going on a worldwide wine tasting tour as they have a selection of French and international wines plus sparkling wine and champagne.

Stumble across this place when you're out sightseeing, and well, you can forget about sightseeing for a couple of hours, at least - especially if it's almost lunchtime. La Part des Anges is a dedicated wine shop, but one with a wine bar and a cellar that's been converted into a mini-bistro.

At lunchtime, they offer wine tastings, with no added corkage fees, accompanied by small, simple plates of food. There are usually ten different wines on offer, along with one top recommendation that goes exceptionally well with the chef's special of the day. It's definitely worth putting off your sightseeing for.

7 Rue Gubernatis, 06000 Nice

As the name might suggest, Cave 35 is another wine shop in Nice and, as all good French wine shops go, one with a hidden bar. Go through the door of this well-stocked establishment on the Rue de la Buffa, and you'll be mind-boggled by the variety of wines on the shelves, but the best part of this shop, though, is the bar in the back.

Behind the shelves of wine bottles and out of direct view is a spacious bar where the wine tastings take place. The décor is basic, but the wines are anything but. Here you can tempt your taste buds with a glass of the local Provence rosé or go for something more sophisticated like a vintage from the Abbey of Lerins .

35 Rue de la Buffa, 06000 Nice

Best Wine Tours From Nice

Abbey of lerins.

Plan on visiting the Abbey of Lerins, and not only will you be able to do some fantastic wine tasting, but you'll also have an amazing day out.

The Abbey of Lerins is located on an offshore island between Nice and Cannes called Ile Saint-Honorat. You will need to catch the Planaria ferry from the Quai des Isles in Cannes. It's a sailing that takes around 20 minutes. If you drive to Cannes from Nice, then you'll need to park your vehicle somewhere as it's a pedestrian-only boat.

The abbey monks cultivate eight hectares of vineyards with six different grapes with eco-friendly viticultural methods. Basically, they do everything by hand the old-fashioned way. It's a slow way of life that you can't help but embrace once you're there.

Tours of the abbey vineyards are conducted by a sommelier only on the first Friday of the month and only in English on the first tour of the day at 11:30 am. The short tour is followed by an outdoor tasting of Saint Pierre and Saint Honorat wines among the vines.

Once you've had your wine tasting, it'll be time to set off and explore the rest of the island, which has some unique historical sites, before catching the boat back to the mainland.

Île Saint-Honorat, 06400 Cannes

Château de Berne

Make an escape from Nice to enjoy a short drive along the stunning French Riviera before following the road signs inland to the town of Lorgues. In the countryside just north of Lorgues is the luxury hotel and winery, the Château de Berne .

The superbly restored 18th-century Château de Berne is surrounded by two and a half thousand acres of woodlands and olive groves, 400 acres of which are dedicated to organic growing grapes.

Have a wander around the stunning manicured gardens or take a hike through the olive trees, then take a sommelier-led tour of the wine cave before entering the tasting room to try the delicious wines they produce here. If you feel like spoiling yourself, you can get a spa treatment too or take a cooking class overseen by a top chef in the cooking school.

The wine cave tour, tasting room experience, spas, and cooking classes must be pre-booked online before arriving.

Chemin des Imberts, 83780 Flayosc

Château Roubine

Château Roubine is another reputable vineyard on the outskirts of Lorgues where you can drop in for a wine tasting. While they do produce red and white here, it's the pale rosé that is their most popular wine. In all honesty, it's sublime and one all wine lovers would be proud to display in their rack.

The Château Roubine likes their visitors to get to know the vineyards and so invites their guests to take a hike through a 13-hectare section of the vineyard. You'll be issued with a map that indicates the route around the vineyard and denotes the 13 points of interest where there is informative signage. This is an interesting stroll for historians, too, as the chateau once belonged to the Knights Templars so you'll be walking on ground once trodden by the historic crusaders.

Rather than using a tasting room, presentations and wine tastings at the Château Roubine are held on the terrace from where you can view the full expanse of the vineyards, which cover around 72 hectares.

Visits to the Château Roubine need to be pre-booked. Opening times vary depending on the season, so check on the official website before visiting.

4216 Rte de Draguignan, 83510 Lorgues

Domaine Rabiega

While in the vicinity of Lorgues, you may want to continue your Provence wine tasting experience by heading a few miles northeast to Draguignan. Domaine Rabiega is one of Provence's hidden gems, and while it's a smaller, less luxurious installation than the Château de Berne, it's well worth a visit in its own right.

The Domaine Rabiega is a rural hotel surrounded by ten hectares of vineyards from which they produce some very fine wines. If you've ever had participating in a grape harvest on your bucket list, then this could be the place to do it. They'll welcome you with open arms for the picking and the harvesting of the olives, too, so long as you don't mind paying a hefty price for the pleasure of working hard from dawn to dusk.

The Domaine Rabiega offers a variety of wine tastings where you can sample the estate’s rosé, reds, and whites. If you decide to buy a few bottles, then the price of the wine tasting is discounted from your purchase.

The wine cellars of the Domaine Rabiega are closed to visitors from mid-July through to mid-November because of the annual harvesting and production, so try to plan accordingly.

516 Chem. du Cros d'Aimar, 83300 Draguignan

Chateau du Rouet

The Chateau du Rouet is another one of the Provence wine region's hidden gems. The Chateau du Rouet is located in Le Muy, around an hour's drive from Nice and 20 minutes from Lorgues if you want to slot in another visit while you're in that area.

The Chateau du Rouet has been producing wine since the mid-19th century, and that experience is evident in the high-quality wine they produce. Wine tastings are conducted in the tasting room of the vineyard's wine shop by the current estate owner, who knows a thing or two about their wine, predominantly red. 

The Chateau du Rouet is a relatively small family-run winery who don't have full-time staff for guided tours of the vineyards. Here you won't be wandering through the vines just sipping the end results and maybe taking a bottle or two back to Nice with you.

Route Bagnols, 83490 Le Muy

There's no doubt that Provence in Southern France is one of the most exciting wine regions to explore, and Nice is the ideal base to do it from. You don't have to be a wine expert either, as there are multiple ways you can immerse yourself in the products of this wonderful wine country, even if you're a novice oenophile. If you have three days in Nice to go wine tasting rather than just one day, even better.

Whether you join a private tour organized by a tour provider, hit several tasting rooms in the city itself, or go on your own independent wine tour, it'll be a voyage of discovery. Wines grown inland from the French Riviera are truly in a league of their own. You'll notice the quality even if you just drink a glass in a local restaurant. Provence wine's excellent reputation is certainly warranted, so while you're in the area, make sure to enjoy it.
