The Bellet vineyard, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the Antibes market, with a tasting at the estate.
Few visitors know there is a vineyard in the hills above Nice. Bellet is one of the smallest appellations in France — around fifty hectares — and makes wines you will hardly find outside the region.
The day combines an estate visit with tasting, the Provençal market in Antibes in the morning, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence in the afternoon. It is the favourite tour of guests returning to the Riviera a second time.
Indicative programme, changeable at any time: the chauffeur is yours for the whole duration.
Cours Masséna, under the covered hall: local produce, cheeses, olives, flowers. Closed Mondays out of season.
The view over the Baie des Anges from the rampart walk.
Estate visit and tasting in the hills above Nice — booking required.
Several estates have a table. We book for you.
Ramparts, galleries and medieval lanes in the late afternoon, once the coaches have gone.
Prices include VAT, whatever the number of passengers. Hotel pick-up and return included. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure.

The tasting must be booked: give us at least two days' notice, as the Bellet estates are small and do not take walk-ins. In September, during the harvest, the atmosphere alone is worth the trip.
Season: all year round, harvest in September.
Never. That is precisely the point of this day: you can taste in peace because someone else is driving.
Yes, and the estates ship abroad. The boot is at your disposal if you would rather take it with you.
Not at all. The Bellet growers receive small groups and explain simply. It is often more interesting than a grand Bordeaux château.
Yes, towards Villars-sur-Var or in Provence around Bandol and Cassis — but the day then becomes considerably longer. Bellet is twenty minutes from Nice.
