In Provence, summer brings a host of delights - lavender in bloom, sunlit markets, and the clink of glasses filled with local wine. With our concierge service, Provence Holidays guests can enjoy some of the region’s most popular wines, whether to savor poolside, pair with a chef-prepared meal, or bring home as a taste of their trip. This summer, our guests’ top picks have been a medley of refreshing rosés and complex whites that capture the essence of the season. Here are the best-selling wines, in descending order:
