On this tour, you’ll explore two selected wineries. Of course, we can adapt the choice of wineries to suit your wishes and tastes.
The tour will begin with a short walk through the vineyards 🍇, during which our guide will share historical and cultural anecdotes about the region and its vineyards. Next, you’ll be immersed into the art of wine tasting with different wines 🍷 from each estate. A sensory experience to share for two, which will make your getaway even more memorable!

2. Discover our coastline aboard a pointu (traditional Provencal boat) 3 wine related ideas
If you’re more a sea-lover, we suggest you embark on a romantic getaway aboard a traditional fishing boat 🛶. Sail gently along the scenic coastline of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. 🌊
Your adventure begins in Port Grimaud, nicknamed “Little Venice of the South” for its picturesque charm. Inspired by the Italian town and by Provence, it’s one of our ideal experiences for a romantic activity! 👩❤️👨
The city has a warm and cozy atmosphere, especially in winter when time seems to stand still. Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the canals, colourful houses and bridges. Time seems to freeze in a romantic photo.
3. Spend a day
Once aboard the traditional fishing boat (no fishing on the programme, rest assured!), admire the Gulf of Saint-Tropez bathed in winter light, with views of the Estérel and the snow-covered Southern Alps ✨ creating the perfect backdrop for sharing unforgettable moments. We enjoy it every day and sincerely recommend it, never are the surroundings as clear as at this time of year, it’s not all blah!
Sheltered from the fresh air under our blankets, your wine guide will offer you a wonderful tasting of local wines.
Your taste buds and your hearts will undoubtedly be satisfied by this unique tour! And we promise to be discreet and let you enjoy this perfect moment!
