Discover the Côtes de Provence on this delightful excursion into the wine country of southern France.
From St Raphael you will transfer one hour to La Maison des Vins -- the House of Wines -- in Les Arcs. The latter is the capital of the Côtes de Provence wines. The Maison is located on the ground floor of a new, traditionally styled building with a soft-yellow stucco exterior, a wide stone terrace in the front and a lovely reflecting pool and fountain. The large tasting room features an attractive wall of wines, with each bottle lit from behind to emphasize the different colors.
A wine specialist welcomes you into a designated room and provides a precise description of the Côtes de Provence appellation. Learn about the history, geography, and production of the wines, as well as how to serve, evaluate, analyze, taste, and enjoy the varieties. Following your introduction, enjoy a sample of some of the delicious wines accompanied by bread or crackers. Time is afforded for you to explore the Maison, or perhaps you may wish to acquire your own private stock from the expansive collection.
Next, you'll stop en route at Domaine de Saint Martin in Taradeau. This elegant chateau has a distinguished history dating back to the 18th century. The castle still belongs to the original family and is renowned in Provence for its exceptional cultural and architectural heritage.
