Avignon Gourmet Tours, a taste of Provence

After my Tourism and Hospitality studies I spent some years in Ireland and Spain where I worked in the tourism industry, before deciding to move back to Provence. While working as a  tour guide in the area, I was asked a lot about good places to dine and where to buy authentic food and traditional products. That’s when I realised that there was something missing on the market, a food tour in Avignon. Provence has so much to offer for foodies, with its sun packed fruits and vegetables, olive oils or traditional breads and pastries, there is something for everyone. This tour was created to introduce Provence through its food, and more specifically to introduce Avignon through its artisans and traditional shops. We are proud to support small businesses that work  in the traditional way.

Our three-hour tour will introduce you to the local gastronomy as well as Provençal traditions and the city’s rich history. You will visit the best artisan shops, whilst tasting and discovering unique, high quality products using traditional crafting techniques. From handmade chocolates to nougat, every stop will be a culinary surprise! After visiting the colourful Les Halles market, you will enjoy a real “Provençal Apéritif” before washing it all down with a glass of Châteauneuf du Pape, the region’s most famous wine.
