Azur Wime Tours review
To be fair, there were some positive aspects of this tour. The vehicle was exactly as advertised - a Mercedes minivan, comfortable and on time. We did visit all three wineries on the program, each of them a beautiful and very different château. Our guide did his best to lead us through and keep the schedule precise. A nice lunch spot was reserved for us on the way, and overall we tasted around 15 different wines, which gave us a good overview of the region. However, for a tour of this price level, the experience was a rather disappointing. It was 40°C outside, yet not a single bottle of water was provided on the bus. For a 9-hour trip, this is a serious oversight. None of the wineries seemed to expect us. Unlike our previous wine tours in Italy, where the owners warmly greeted guests and shared their stories, here no owner appeared at all. Everything was handled solely by the guide: setting out glasses, explaining, even tidying up. At the last winery, there was not even a table prepared - we were left standing crowded at the counter, while other groups were seated and properly hosted. Snacks to accompany the wines were essentially non-existent. Apart from some dry biscuits and a small jar of spread with one teaspoon for everyone, there was nothing offered, which is far below the standard of wine tastings we have experienced elsewhere. Overall, while we appreciated the transport, timing, and the number of wines tasted, the organization, hospitality, and basic comfort (such as water and food) were not at all what we expected. The tour fell short of its promises and did not justify its price.
We got through it.
Our tour guide Hélène was very pleasant. We were 8 people riding in a van in the middle of a heat wave and there was only air conditioning in the first row. Very hot and unpleasant. The lunch meal was cold meats Cold egg tart, salad, cheese, and a cold soup. Very overpriced for 27 euro. During the wine tour, we would walk around the grounds of the vineyard, occasionally stepping over ditches to look at a house on the property. We left the last vineyard to get back into the sweltering van for the drive back to Nice. This was not the peaceful trip I had hoped it would be.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write your review of your experience. Firstly, we are sorry that your experience was anything other than excellent, the standard that we strive to achieve. Naturally, we are very pleased that you recognised the qualities of Helene as your guide – being someone who is by nature warm, welcoming and very friendly. Helene is qualified sommelier, with a passion for the wines of Provence, and we know that we can always count on her to give of her best on every tour that she leads. On the specific points that you raise: 1. The van that you were driven is our back-up vehicle, and was only put into service due to a technical problem with one of our other vehicles. As you rightly say, it does have A/C, but it’s not the system is not very powerfull. This was of course exacerbated by the heat wave conditions that you rightly mention – over which we naturally have zero control. We are very sorry that you didn’t get to be in one of our “regular” fully A/C vehicles, as this seems to have been the single biggest problem on your day out with us. In the event – it was either use this vehicle, or be faced with having to postpone/cancel your tour – and perhaps we took the wrong option? Only you can judge that. 2. With regard to the cold platter lunch, this is provided and served by Chateau Saint Martin, to whom you paid the price of 27€. In the description of the tour, we say in the section “Not Included” [in the price of the tour] that “Lunch is available at one of the vineyards, or in a local medieval Provencal village - budget from 25€ per person.” 3. In previous seasons, the vast majority of our guests who have had the cold platter/buffet lunch at Saint Martin have enjoyed it. This is especially so, given that the fixed price also includes plenty of wine to accompany your lunch (your choice of the same Cru Classé wines that you have enjoyed during the tasting), desert and coffee. Just to clarify the point in respect of the soup - it is a Gazpacho, a summer soup that is meant to be served cold. We will be raising the point that you make about the choice, variety and value-for-money with the owner of the vineyard, in order to help them to improve this offering. Naturally, we want our guests to feel fully satisfied with their lunch. If you come back to the Riviera again sometime, please do get in contact with us directly via our website and we’ll be delighted to suggest some other vineyards that you might like to visit, and also do everything in our power to ensure that you have the type of experience that is befitting a tour by Azur Wine Tours. A bientôt!
