Evening stroll, not rush rush - A bit of a rainy day in Menton, but our guy did not cancel. Just two of us and our guide strolling the evening streets of the old city, beautiful wine, incredible cheese and meets friendly venues. Patricia isn’t just friendly. She’s charming. She’s curious and she’s travelled and has a wealth of information to share not only about Montel, but the Riviera, France, and other destinations on my list. I am much more informed about Montel, the history and the wine of the region after this tour highly recommend to anybody who wants to try some wine in the city and get a lesson at the same time.
It’s not rush, rush. It’s not tourist traps. It’s good food good wine great conversation. Book this tour..

A discovery of the senses - With my girlfriend, we spent a wonderful evening in Menton.
I know the region well and at the same time I wanted to do this tour that I had heard of.
The different wine tastings, offered in very different places, allowed us to have an excellent overview of the wines of Provence and enjoy their unique flavor!
We loved the tangerine-scented rosé wine as well as the lemon-scented white wine of Menton, an ecstasy!
If we added delicious cheeses and a platter of cold cuts, we could only be delighted.
Beyond the pleasure of food and wine, we appreciated Patricia's kindness, professionalism and smile!
A wonderful connoisseur and local lover

A Delightful Evening of Wine Tasting in Charming Menton - If you're looking for a memorable early evening experience in the beautiful city of Menton, I highly recommend this wine tasting tour.
The highlight for me was discovering the unique wines infused with the famous Menton lemon, as well as other delightful citrus fruits like mandarine and bitter orange. Each sip was a burst of the region's vibrant flavors, and the wines were truly of high quality!
The guide was excellent—knowledgeable and passionate, providing fascinating insights into the wines of Provence. I walked away with a new appreciation for the region's wine-making traditions.
Menton itself is a gem, and this wine tasting tour was the perfect way to enjoy its ambiance while learning about and tasting some incredible wines. A must-do when visiting the French Riviera!
