A Personalised Itinerary of Provencal Wine Tasting

The French Riviera’s winemaking landscape is as diverse as it is beautiful. With Mira Azur, your private wine tour is built around your preferences. We can arrange visits to the historic, family-run estates of the Bellet appellation, nestled in the hills just above Nice, known for its unique Folle Noire and Braquet grapes. Alternatively, journey further into the heart of the Côtes de Provence, the world's largest appellation specialising in rosé. For connoisseurs of more robust reds, a tour to the prestigious Bandol appellation offers a chance to sample its famous Mourvèdre-based wines. Your chauffeur will guide you, ensuring a day of discovery tailored precisely to your palate.

Beyond the Tasting Room: A Full-Day Discovery

A Mira Azur wine tour extends beyond the cellar door. We believe in crafting a complete narrative of the region, blending superlative wine tasting with the culture and scenery that make Provence so captivating. Between vineyard visits, your chauffeur can introduce you to a charming local village for lunch or guide you to a viewpoint for stunning photographs of the rolling hills. The beauty of a private tour is its flexibility; the day unfolds at your pace. Spend more time at a winery that captures your imagination or explore a medieval town you spot along the way. We handle the driving, allowing you to savour every moment and every glass.
