Discover the Provence Wine & Goat Cheese Experience Near Aix-en-Provence

Just a short drive from the vibrant city of Aix-en-Provence, the Provence Wine & Goat Cheese Experience offers an intimate dive into the agricultural heart of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This 1.5-hour guided tour invites visitors to explore a tranquil vineyard setting on the outskirts of Meyreuil, where the centuries-old tradition of AOC Palette wine production converges with the artisanal craft of goat cheese-making.

The experience begins at a charming château, where sprawling vineyards stretch across gentle hillsides etched with limestone soils unique to this part of southern France. Here, the terroir shapes wines of distinct character—vibrant rosés, crisp whites, and structured reds that bear the official AOP Palette label, a rare designation that underscores the region’s rich viticultural heritage. Alongside the vineyards, visitors discover a working goat farm specializing in the Rove breed, native to Provence. These goats produce milk for Brousse du Rove, an AOP-certified soft cheese that pairs beautifully with the estate’s wines.

Your guide unpacks the story behind each bottle and wedge, narrating how geography, climate, and local know-how come together to create these regional specialties. You’ll tour the cellar, see the goats in their pastoral setting, and then settle in for an expertly curated tasting. Sampling the full range of rosé, white, and red wines alongside fresh artisan cheeses highlights the harmonious balance of flavors rooted in this land.

Beyond the sensory indulgence, the farm’s peaceful ambiance offers a refreshing escape from the bustle of Aix-en-Provence. This spot represents a genuine slice of Provençal lifestyle—a place where tradition lives on, sustainably stewarded by passionate local producers. The experience is stroller and wheelchair accessible, welcoming visitors of many ages and interests.

For travelers seeking an authentic connection to Provence’s gastronomic origins, this wine and cheese tour stands out as a must-visit. It’s ideal for oenophiles, foodie explorers, or anyone wanting to enrich their visit with a deeper understanding of what makes this region’s rural culture so distinctive. With no transportation included, visitors are encouraged to arrange their own trip to the farm, located at Chemin de la Simone, Meyreuil.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or new to the Provençal palate, this small-group experience offers an accessible, relaxed introduction to the nuanced tastes and traditions of southern France’s famed countryside.
