Mike does a wonderful job in helping you both understand and enjoy the wines of Provence. You visit two wineries for an enjoyable and in-depth experience. Mike shares his vast knowledge of wines in an entertaining and informal way. We would highly recommend this tour. More

Just got back from a full day wine tour with Mike. His reviews do him great justice and it needs more. His knowledege and enthusiasm for this region is very evident. Even through it was only me flying solo with him in the afternoon, the tour and information from him never lacked the lack lusture. He made the trip so... More

Mike has a lot of passion about wine, as well as immense knowledge about this region and the wine making processes. I was looking for an in-depth and non-commercial driven trip, and I was happy that I had got some of Mike's time. We visited two vineyards each day and tasted maybe 10 different wines from each vineyard. That really... More

Thanks Mike for the well-organised tour which we can visit so many vineyard, and we were so happy that even the vineyard-owner came out to greet us. I can say Mike provide us from the very basic information of wine to the very in-depth knowledge/culture of Europe. Wine Safari is your choice to explore the wine in Rohone Valley! More

Mike with Wine Safari took us on an all day trip of the Cotes du Rhone region. My husband really wanted to see Mont Ventoux so Mike started there and then drove us all around the area and through many little towns we never would have found on our own. Not only does he have a vast wealth of wine... More

Mike with Wine Safari took us on a half day tour of a winery near Avignon, France. We were staying in Arles, France and Mike picked us up promptly at our hotel and took us on our tour. We stopped in Les Beux and had time to tour the town. We also drove through St Remy and a couple other... More

Mike is an absolutely brilliant host for your "wine safari". We've been to tastings before and sometimes, knowing nothing about wine, it can get a bit patronising. However this was far from that - Mike makes you laugh and tells you lots of interesting things, without expecting you to taste a particular type of blackcurrant in a particular wine! We... More

We booked Wine Safari while staying at Auberge du Vin for “Sharpen Your Taste” wine program. After being served a delicious French breakfast, we were picked up by Mike of Wine Safari and brought to different areas of the Cotes Du Rhone wine region where we tasted a variety of wines. In-between wine tastings, we visited small French towns and... More

Mike picked us up at our hotel for a day long tour of the Cote du Rhone wine area. It was truly an amazing day touring the area, visiting vineyards and tasting wine. Mike's knowledge about wine - history, farming, production, tasting - is impressive and Mike makes it all very interesting, easy to understand and FUN! He has a... More

We enjoyed our wine safari as it really helped us appreciate and understand the importance of wine in Provence.   Aptly called the Wine Safari, we walked among vineyards, felt the rocky sandy soil, touched the tiny young grapes, as he explained the wine making process that dates back many hundreds of years.  Our three hour tour was led by...
