- I_Duffey0 contributionsEasy and enjoyable wine tourA great half day trip! A fun experience visiting a small family run winery and one larger winery. All the wines were delicious, and it was very cool to hear about all the history of the vineyards and the wine making process. Bonus: Koko is the best guide and driver!Written July 7, 2023
- B1609PJrebeccad0 contributionsGreat tour, High price for what you get.Lovely tour great to see a small family run winery and a larger one. However felt the portions of wine given were very small it was hard to taste (2nd place) They didn't feel welcoming and had another group join our tour mid way around who did not stop talking so we couldn't hear the guide. Food - is just a few small bites of bread not very much at all. i'd advise eating before hand. We were lucky and had a great group of people on the tour with us. Overall this is one of the pricer tours in south of france that we looked at, and I don't think is worth the Money. I've done wine tasting in other locations i feel were better.Written July 4, 2023
- Rhonda N0 contributionsPerfect Saturday afternoon in NiceFrom beginning to the end, everything about this tour was perfect. The host was friendly interesting and went out of her way to ensure we were all relaxed and having a wonderful time. You visit two vineyards and sample some wonderful wines and local dishes. The smaller family run vineyard was a delight. We would recommend this tour to all wine lovers who visit Nice.Written July 2, 2023
- 254yuliam0 contributionsOverpriced tour with low quality wineWine quality below average in both wineries and no chocolate or candid fruits advertised were actually offered, but various bread varieties instead. Chateau de Cremat is well run with an interesting art gallery and link to Chanel makes an interesting story, but wine quality lets it down. Not a good value for money. Would have been OK with just a trip to Chateau de Cremat only at half the price charged. Not a wine tasting tour, but an excursion around outskirts of Nice.Written June 8, 2023
- dodud010 contributionsFantastic excursion into bellet wine countryI thoroughly enjoyed this wine tour which included visits to 2 wineries, very much enjoyed to hear about the history of the region, the fantastic organic wines we tasted and the local food. I fully recommend this tour.Written May 27, 2023

Marie is a true inspiration - we were made to feel at home the moment we arrived. The entire experience was one that exuded passion and enthusiasm for local ingredients, techniques, recipes and all within an open and relaxed “as you want” atmosphere. We made Onion Tart to die for, Tart Tartine with gorgeous deep yellow Golden Delicious apples and homemade salted caramel sauce amongst other things. Marie is a very attentive lady with an eye for detail who is keen to assist anybody from complete beginner to expert alike. We went on this experience mainly for my daughter who’s a keen cook, never expecting to enjoy it as much as we did. Cooking with Marie is a great way to spend an afternoon in Nice. As a family we all agree this is the best activity we’ve enjoyed together for a while. If we could rate time with Marie as an eleven out of ten we would gladly do so - Fantastic!

Mostly in Italy. =Venice 2008,2010 & 2017. Also Rome & Florence Twice in Prague 2012 & 2018. Able to walk all over the cities involved. Venice most romantic. Also had 3 week tour in China,also tours in Turkey & Peru. Found & purchased meaningful souvenirs e.g.a miniature gondolier forcola the oarlock which was crafted by Mr. Pastore who crafted them for the gondoliers on Rio Fornace named for the brick furnace factories which were used to build the homes. We stayed with a Contessa in her palazetto. In Rome we stayed at the Lancellotti Palace the home of a descendent of a descendant of a pre unification King & referred to as Prince. His son actually married the Contessa’s daughter! He was standoffish We still communicate with Contessa Anna ds Schio

Well, thank you for this pretty comment even if I think you were confused with your tours as me I proposed you a private introduction of the "provencal Cuisine".
Have a nice day,
and thank you again for your time :)

We spent a wonderful afternoon with Marie learning how to cook several classic provencal dishes and then was able to enjoy our meal with a bottle of rose wine. I was joined by my 2 adult daughters and their boyfriends. I am an experienced cook and both my daughters are very good in the kitchen as well - one is a serious baker. Their boyfriends were willing neophytes. Marie did a wonderful job of accommodating all of our different skill levels, and everyone - including myself - learned a great deal. I picked up several key pointers that felt like traditional provencal cooking techniques that you don't see in standard recipes. I loved that Marie selected dishes for us to make that were not only classic Nice cuisine but also seasonal. We learned how to cook squash blossoms that I had just seen in the farmer's market that morning. And we made THE best tart tatin that I have ever eaten. Loved the whole experience! I highly recommend the cooking class!

Our group of four spent three hours with Marie in her lovely home. We all agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. Marie shared helpful cooking tips. We all had the chance to participate in all the cooking and best of all, the eating! Simple, local & fresh ingredients and delicious! Thank you Marie. If you are reading this, I hope we can request the recipes. For future classes it might be helpful just to have copies of the recipes to hand out at the end. Merci beaucoup!

This is - without a doubt- the highlight of our short trip to Nice!
In time you'll forget places you visit, but a positive, memorable experience stays with you forever.
Marie cooked for (and with ) us a fresh, delicious Nicoise salad (which sounds boring back home, but the ingredients she used made all the difference) plus an onion tart " La Pissaladière" to die for.....
However, nothing prepared us for the Best Salted Butter Caramel Apple Tart in the world!!!! Really.
We left her cosy place feeling relaxed and wanting more ...
We totally recommend her course.Look no more.

We are very pleased to say this cooking class with Marie was the high point of our visit to Nice. I am a museum aficionada and my wife is a beach lover, so there was a lots of competition for our attention, to say the least, but Marie’s culinary class came out on top.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food preparation lessons for dinner and the scrumptious meal that followed was absolutely incredible.
Marie was gracious and kind throughout the entire evening and we felt completely at ease in her home and very welcome in her kitchen.
I enthusiastically recommend this “experience” for anyone who loves food and wants to understand what a ‘labor-of-love’ the preparation and serving of high-quality food entails. You will be more than pleased (and sated) afterwards.

Bonjour,
sincèrement merci pour ce très sympathique commentaire :)
Cela fait très plaisir :)
Oui cette approche de la cuisine provençale ne se fait que sur réservation, et n'est proposé que en privé et en petit comité, pour pouvoir avoir le temps d'expliquer le temps de profiter, de gouter...
Peut être à très bientôt !

HI, I Will be staying in Nice late September 2019 and am hoping to treat my friend to a French cookery experience for her 60th Birthday. She's always expressed an interest in French food especially sauces. I wondered if it was possible to maybe buy a voucher for just her and myself for a 3/4 hr class. I'm usually in Nice with her In September then again in May. We would be ok to book a few weeks in advance .
I look forward to hearing from you soon'
