Provence Vineyards & Lavender Fields Private Day Trip
A full-day private journey through Provence's most iconic landscapes, villages, and wine country.
This Provence private day trip takes you through rolling vineyards, fragrant lavender fields, and centuries-old Provencal villages in the company of a professional local guide who tailors every moment to your interests.
Your guide collects you directly from your accommodation in a comfortable, recent-model vehicle, removing the stress of logistics so you can focus entirely on the scenery and culture around you. Every segment of the program can be adjusted to match your pace, curiosity, and preferences.
From the medieval atmosphere of Sainte-Maximin to the elegant boulevards of Aix-en-Provence, the route is carefully crafted to show the authentic character of the region. Wine lovers, history enthusiasts, and photographers will all find moments made for them throughout the day.
Lavender season runs mainly from late June through early August, and the guide plans the route to maximize your chances of seeing fields in full bloom. Outside that window, the Provencal countryside still offers golden vineyards, olive groves, and dramatic limestone ridges worth every kilometer.
