Provencal Market and Wine Tasting Tour from Nice
Markets, medieval villages, vineyards, and waterfall views in one unforgettable day
This Provencal market and wine tasting tour from Nice takes you through the flavors, history, and landscapes that define the south of France. Over nine hours, you will explore a bustling seaside market, a fortified medieval village, a historic vineyard, and a scenic waterfall overlooking the city.
Antibes opens the day with its vibrant Provencal market, where local vendors display fresh produce, regional cheeses, olives, and flowers in the heart of the old town. The colors and aromas give an immediate sense of the culinary traditions that have shaped this coastline for centuries.
The medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence follows, offering a step back into the Middle Ages through its narrow cobblestone lanes, vaulted passageways, and well-preserved stone architecture. The village has long attracted writers and artists, and its atmosphere reflects that cultural depth.
The afternoon shifts to the vineyards of Bellet at Domaine de la Source, where a guided visit to the wine cellar introduces you to one of the oldest appellations in France. A tasting of red, rose, and white wines rounds out the experience before the group returns to Nice via the Gairaut waterfall and chalet.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins in the old town of Antibes at the open-air Provencal market, where local vendors offer fresh fruits, vegetables, olives, and regional products. The setting captures the colors, accents, and energy of daily life in the south of France.
The group moves on to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a fortified hilltop village with winding streets, vaulted alleyways, and stone arcades that have changed little since the Middle Ages. The village is known both for its historic architecture and its long association with artists and intellectuals.
At Domaine de la Source, your guide walks you through the vineyard and wine cellar while explaining the history of the estate and the Bellet appellation. The visit concludes with a tasting of the domaine's red, rose, and white wines.
