However, this tour was a real delight. From the prompt responsiveness of Edward, to the timely pick up near my hotel, the entire trip was one entire seamless experience. Edward met me downtown at the tourist office, we went to pick up another couple, and from there we were off to Pic Saint Loup! Our first stop was the Zumbaum Tomasi winery. From the moment that we got to the car, you could tell that Edward was passionate about wines. He explained to us how the different wines were made, and introduced us to the wineries managers. We tasted a rose and two reds. After that we drove off to the second winery, which was called the Mas Gourdou winery where we tasted a white wine, a rose wine, red wine, and a dessert wine. We got to meet the owner of the Vineyard. The beautiful thing about both of these Vineyards is that they're both organic and estate wines. The grapes are grown, harvested, and bottled at each one of the estates. these bottles of wine pretty special and not your every day supermarket wine. We capped off the evening with a wonderful dinner cooked by Edward's mom. Our first course was a delicious and expertly done phyllo dough stuffed with a local goat cheese and an olive topping odd. Our main course was then a pork tagine followed by Apple pie and a chocolate cake. Oh! Did I mention the bottle of wine that came with the meal? The meal far exceeded our expectations!! We were so stuffed at the end. Edward drop us off at the end of the evening. If I were to ever come back to France I would definitely do the tour again.

The smell of the air as you step out of your vehicle reflects all these natural products and is delightful after spending time in the city. The surrounding area is beautiful, and it was close enough to Eygalières to make this a perfect stop before or after lunch. The tasting room is a bit small compared to most of the other wineries I've visited, but it is tastefully furnished. They have a large selection of gourmet food items available, as well as their wine and olive products. The staff here were the best I've encountered at French wineries -- welcoming, knowledgeable, unpretentious. In addition to a wine tasting, we were offered an olive oil tasting. The oils here are divine! Perhaps to locals, this is nothing special, but the olive oil is better than any I've tasted in the US, even compared to French imports. I only wish I'd purchased more, as it appears it will be extremely difficult to obtain outside of France. The wines here were good. They were not my favorite of the wineries I tried, but were solid and I think the prices were very fair in comparison to other wineries.
