As one TourRadar traveler notes: "My wife and I loved the personal attention and flexibility of our small group - it allowed us to spend extra time at places like Senanque Abbey's lavender fields and enjoy wine tastings at local vineyards like Domaine de la Vallongue without feeling rushed." These smaller groups can visit local markets dine at family restaurants and stay in select boutique properties like Hotel Castelet des Alpilles while getting focused attention from expert guides.
How does the small group experience enhance wine tasting in Provence?
With groups of 8-12 people wine tastings become more educational and engaging at established vineyards like Domaine de Durban in Beaumes de Venise and Caves Jamet near Orange. Vintners can spend quality time explaining their craft while guests ask detailed questions about production methods and regional wine characteristics.

The prime touring season runs May through September when pleasant weather and full accessibility to attractions combine for ideal conditions.

What transportation methods are used for small group tours in Provence?
Transportation centers on modern minivans or small buses designed for 8-12 passengers with additional options for e-bikes and standard bicycles on certain routes.
