Vineyards ​- IGP des Alpes Maritimes, AOC Bellet, Cote du Provence

IGP des Alpes Maritimes


 Within 20 minutes to Tourrettes-sur-Loup  there is Vineyard "DOMAINE SAINT-JOSEPH" , a small but interesting Bio wine producer. You can continuo to Saint Jeannet or go over Vence  where you can visit Chapelle du Rosaire  and broaden your knowledge with Azur Wine Tours.  After Vence continue on to Saint Jeannet to visit the Vinyard " VIGNOBLE DES HAUTES COLLINES DE LA COTE D'AZUR" . The wine-making process is unique. The wine is known as “tuilé”, i.e. left for several months in large glass bottles in direct sunshine. It is then transferred into an oak barrel to mature. After this, as time allows, you can continue to visit a winery of Nice (AOC Bellet) – which one of the oldest if not the oldest wine region of France.   Or return via Saint Paul de Vence and if time allows still visit Foundation Maegth  and/or a small unique vineyard Domaine la Vasta / Le Petit Vigneau before a dinner in the Village

 “Les 3 domaines de IGP des Alpes Maritimes” and Domaine la Vasta.  This includes;
