It's not often you see reviews anywhere which are as strong as the ones for Avignon Wine Tours. Francois earns his reputation with humour, style, information that is really useful if you enjoy wine, and attention to details in offering his service to make your day out a most memorable event. He loves what he does, clearly, and puts a... More

David was our fabulously fun tour guide on May 11 (arranged through our great hosts at Domaine de Rhodes in Avignon). He went out of his way to ensure a special day for us, especially since we were all new to Provence. My husband and I, along with our two friends, enjoyed a very informative, animated, and delicious day touring... More

My wife an I spent a marvelous day with the most gracious somelier/host : David. He picked us up at our hotel in Baux de Provence on time at 09h50 and took us to our forst château for a wine tasting course. Ten emotions to characterize wine; from fruits to flowers, leather to minerality, acidity to legs , yes, legs!... More

My wife and I completed the day-long tour of Chateauneuf-du-Pape yesterday with Francois and we had a great time. Having completed a few wine tours in France over the past years, this was one of the best. We were in a small group of 6, ourselves and a family of four. A few obvious perks off the bat - Francois...

Just returned from a trip to Avignon and SO happy we booked a tour with Avignon Wine Tours! Francios was enthusiastic, fun, passionate and very knowlegable! What a delightful and memorable day! Enjoyed the colorful commentary, the informative lesson on how to taste wine, and the beauty of the Luberon region of Provence! An exceptional value for the money and... More

We attended the tour #5 with Francois to Les Baux de Provence and #4 with David to Gigondas. They were great tours, and the trips were full of laughter. Both of them are fun, knowledgeable, and passionate about wine. The six steps to taste wine are very useful and the lunches are great. If anything, the trips were a bit... More

We were very fortunate to have David to ourselves - normally the small van can take at least six people. David has over 15 years experience as a somelier and a fantastic passion for wines. We took the Chateauneuf du Pape tour and after a short drive from Avignon we were in the vineyards where David showed us the different... More

To call this simply a wine tour is doing it, and David a huge disservice. It is a sightseeing tour of the picturesque Les Baux region, just south of Avignon. Our guide David proved to be a man of many hats: chauffeur, wine connoisseur, historian, comedian, teacher, shopping sherpa, and hopeless romantic. We visited four vineyards, had a delectable lunch... More

I feel I got very lucky to choose Francois' Avignon Wine Tour #1 on my recent visit to Avignon. Joining 4 others we had a lovely day visiting 4 vineyards, sharing a super mid day lunch. We even squeezed in a visit the Pont du Gard! Francois is just a wonderful guide/host/wine expert/historian/teacher. The day flew by and I can... More
