“My husband and I enjoyed a fun and informative wine-tasting experience with Jesse. After visiting the area near Mont Sainte Victoire where Cezanne painted, we sampled wines at two vineyards in the beautiful Provencal countryside within sight of the mountain. It was a highlight of our stay in Aix-en-Provence. No need to be a wine expert! Highly recommended.”
