Further information
Head to the heights above Nice for an extraordinary wine adventure!The Bellet appellation is a small wine producing area within the boundaries of Nice, nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean. Its small production is almost impossible to find outside the Côte d'Azur. These hillside vineyards by the sea produce highly aromatic white wines, silky and complex rosés with unique, delightful notes, and full-bodied, deep red wines. Next, discover another secret gem of winemaking in Saint-Jeanet. A magical place where both wine and art delight the senses and uplift the heart, all in harmony with the natural environment.
9:30 a.m. : Departure from your accommodation - Your guide picks you up from your hotel/accommodation in a comfortable, premium air-conditioned van.
10:00 a.m. : Visit the first estate - A family-owned, organic estate nestled in the hills between Nice and the Alps.You will discover this authentic vineyard dotted with tiny terraces of vines. Here, the winemaker’s work reflects the character of the Bellet terroir: personality, strength, and delicacy. Following a cellar visit, you'll then taste the estate’s wines (and a few extra surprises) in the beautiful shady garden.
11:30 p.m. : Visit our second vineyard - Set on a magnificent hillside with panoramic views over the valley and the Alps, this prestigious château will delight even the most discerning palates with its extensive range of wines.
1 p.m. : Gourmet lunch - Lunch break in a restaurant in Saint-Paul de Vence, followed by free time to explore the medieval streets - lunch not included in the price of the tour.
3:30 p.m. : Visit the third vineyard - A small, secret, family-run estate with unique ancestral wine making methods that stand apart from the rest of Provence. Explore the vineyards, the cellar, and the wine ageing areas. And, of course, enjoy a superb tasting of the estate’s wines on the terrace overlooking the blue Mediterranean and the Baie des Anges.
5:30 p.m. : Return to your accommodation, with new memories to savour.

A couple of suggestions. We found the Chateau winery to be the least worthwhile and would rather have had more time for our lunch. Also, while I understand why he did not, it would have also been enjoyable for Peter to join us for lunch. This is a personal thing as we were really enjoying talking with him about various topics. I grew up with experience in the American wine industry and this was by far the best tour I have ever had.
