Half-Day Saint-Jeannet Family Vineyard Tasting and Saint-Paul-de-Vence Visit from Nice

The vines on the hills of Saint-Jeannet date back 2,000 years, to the Romans who brought them here. This half-day trip from Nice starts in a family-owned vineyard, where the tasting covers Merlot, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Gamay. The winemaker explains old methods of making wine, including one unusual process: ageing wine under the sun. The tasting is relaxed and shared, and it comes before the second half of the trip. That second half is Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a medieval village known as the "Jewel of Provence". Artists and celebrities have long favoured it, and its cobbled streets are made for walking.
