# Countryside and Wine Tasting Full-day tour from Nice

**Guidekin's take:** Inland from Nice for the day: a guided visit of the Fragonard perfumery in Grasse, time in Tourrettes-sur-Loup and Gourdon, then a tasting at Château de Crémat, a Bellet estate above the city. Hotel pickup in an eight-seat minivan is included, food is not, and bookings need two people. 4.62 from 124 reviews for 8h.

In our comparison: #14 of 14 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Head inland from Nice on a full-day tour, discovering the beauty of the region’s much-applauded landscape. Pass rocky promontories sitting alongside lush vineyards and see flower-drenched hamlets at every twist and turn. With an expert local guide, visit Grasse, the perfume capital of France, for a tour around its famous Fragonard Perfumery, and then explore the towns of Tourrettes-Sur-Loup and Gourdon. The day concludes with a visit to the Domaine des Hautes Collines, where you can sample exquisite local wines while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

This small-group day trip is limited to just eight passengers, ensuring you’ll receive personalized attention from your guide. During your tour, the guide will provide information in the minivan in order to give you free time to explore on your own.
