PROVENCE ALPES COTE D’AZUR
In fall, winter and spring, the vineyards provide constantly changing perspectives full of color and geometry in the fields of Provence -  yellow, reds and browns just before and after the harvest, Spartan lines of closely-pruned vinestock after pruning, the gentle green of new tendrils and new leaves … all ideal seasons to discover the vintages and the gastronomic itineraries among the vineyards.
The Wine Routes of Provence brochure describes the wine estates and the places where you can combine the joys of wine tasting, the charm of historical sites, the pleasure of the countryside and the delight of a hike or a bike ride, taking part in events and festivities.
Another beautiful way to discover Provence.
