Guidekin's take

A vintage Land Rover Defender climbs from the coast into the hills above Nice for a wine tasting in the garden of the Château de Crémat, with local stories from the guide on the way.

Only the tasting is included, and the ride is rough enough that a moderate fitness level is asked. 4.82 from 95 reviews for 3h.

In our comparison: #10 of 15 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
