In search of Cézanne
This is a great day out for lovers of fine food and wine looking to discover the unique Mont Sainte Victoire wine region. We begin the morning discovering the old town of Aix-en-Provence following in the path of Paul Cézanne. Leaving Aix' we head south through the national park and Mont St Victoire, a symbol of Provence that rises over 1000 meters behind the rolling landscape and vineyards close to the historic Provençal village of Puyloubier. A pause for lunch on a delightful Provençal village square under the shade of a tree next to the village fountain. After lunch we begin our wine discovery, firstly a visit to Domaine de St Ser, a small unique bio-diversity wine producer. The vineyard is at the highest point sitting against the steep backdrop of the Mountain with its intense sunshine and dry arid mediterranean climate. Next a short drive to our second vineyard of the afternoon - Domaine Terre de Mistral, a family run winery that produces a varied selection of award winning reds, whites & rose wines as well as olive oil. Interestingly each of the wines are named after members of the family, making this a truly local family business.
