wine tourism Tourves
An excellent stay at La Bastide de la Roquette in Tourves, thanks to the quality of Colette and Patrice's welcome and their discreet discretion. The level of service provided by the place and especially the meals and breakfasts concocted by Colette greatly contributed to the pleasure of this oeno-escapade. The visits and tastings went according to plan, with a very warm welcome and top-class presentations and tastings.

Great weekend
Vinotrip was able to respond to our request. Many thanks.
We had an excellent stay. Our hosts did everything to please us. They adapted the food to our tastes. And what food! Madame is charming and a real cordon bleu!
The room is very comfortable, simple and chic, just the way we like it. Peace and quiet in the middle of nature. Just the thing to recharge your batteries!
As for the visits, everything went well. The person in charge of the saffron plantation gave us some very interesting information. You can tell she's passionate.
As for the wine, 3 stars for Chateau des Deffends.
Thank you for everything.

Great stay!
We received a very warm welcome at Bastide de la Roquette and the hostess is an excellent cook of fine, tasty dishes.
Personally, we didn't appreciate the acidity of many of Provence's red wines, but the estates were magnificent and worth the detour, and the welcome was also very pleasant.
The saffron farm was a real discovery, very instructive. We left with our own little jar of saffron.
The visit to the pottery was less interesting in the sense that we expected to make objects or touch raw materials. This wasn't the case, but we did learn about the different stages of manufacture and firing, and were able to buy finished objects in the well-stocked store.
In short, we had a great time discovering the region thanks to this stay, which we'll certainly repeat.

Stay at La Dryade
Excellent stay in a magnificent location with Catherine, our hostess, who was very welcoming and attentive, and prepared some delicious dishes for us. The wine tastings were carried out by professionals who love what they do, and the visit to La Safranière was very enriching. Everyone we met was very friendly! A superb gift. I'd recommend it.
