Join Us for a Wine Travel Adventure in the heart of the
Provence
Based in St. Remy de Provence, France
September 6-13, 2025
Joie de Vin is excited to introduce our 2025 voyage to Provence, France – an immersion into French wine and culture!
This trip celebrates the femininity of France and is offered to a small group (10 maximum) of women. Our home base hotel/spa will accommodate you in your own ensuite room or for a discounted rate, you can share a double twin bedded room with a friend.
Our seven-night, eight-day tour will introduce you to the delights of the food & wine of this oldest region in France. Your visit will acquaint you with the history of the region from the Roman to modern times.
Provence was the first Roman outpost with many wonderful Roman remains to visit. The Romans brought more than their building skills; they brought wine! So, we will balance our historical learning with visits to local wineries to learn more about the regions within this large area.
