I first traveled to Aix-en-Provence in 2008, when I met Hilary and Brian at one of their French Wine 101 tastings. I arrived knowing little to nothing about wine and feeling self-conscious about my ignorance. After a fun couple of hours with Hilary and Brian, all that changed! I left with a newfound appreciation for good wine and the wine-making... More

While visiting Aix I went on a small group tour with Wine in Provence. Hilary and her assistant Maddy were exceptional hosts and truly teach wine appreciation. We visited a beautiful chateau surrounded with ancient olive groves & terraced vineyards that I would have never found on my own. Wine in Provence exceeded my expectations and gave me a taste...

We loved our tour with Hillary - so full of life & a great knowledge of Aix-en-Provence! Starting out in the markets where we shopped for local produce for our lunch, as well as picking up some bits from the local cheese shop, butcher, wine shop, & bakery - shopping like the locals do! Along the way Hillary told us... More

My wife and I, along with 4 friends, spent a great 6 hours with Hilary shopping, cooking, learning about French food, wine and culture and laughing. Hilary was engaging and entertaining and led us on a food and wine shopping expedition through Aix's market while also filling us in on the history of the city and the market. We then... More

My family and friends just returned back to St. Remy-de-Provence after experiencing a truly wonderful morning and afternoon in Aix-en-Provence with Hillary the owner of Wine in Provence. We shopped for our lunch in the local market on a Thursday morning and then went to explore some of the fascinating shops selling cheese, wine, olive oils and breads all from... More

This past October my daughter & I traveled to Aix and signed up for Hilary's market day tour and cooking class. We were thrilled with the whole experience and found Hilary and her assistant to be incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with. She explained the in's and out's of this fascinating world of French markets while we shopped for... More

We had a wonderful tasting tour of 4 wineries on the last day of harvest for 2012! This was our second time we've used Wine in Provence (last year's Boat Cruise/tasting off the Calanques was amazing). Hilary did another fantastic job of keeping the energy up for the group and arranging tastings with a personal feel. The highlight was meeting... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Hillary. She guided us through her favorite cheese, wine and dessert shops and the market – even teaching us how to purchase from the vendors, in French! Then back to her apartment for cooking lesson and eating all our purchases. A favorite memory of Provence.

You have to hand it to Hilary for being so successful with her home business. She has brought together a wonderful venue, with incredible local wines and produce, using her entertaining and able style. We could not suggest any improvements. Hilary even emailed us recommendations for Chateauneuf vineyards for later in the week. We will be back! Thanks Hilary!
