French and Wine Course in Aix-en-Provence, France


Aix-en-Provence

Provence's excellent climate and soil are ideally suited to producing wines. Aix-en-Provence is known in particular for its full-bodied red wines and its fruity rosés. The white wine of Provence is dry and complements Mediterranean dishes and the local seafood perfectly. Learn about these wines and the great wines of France on our French and Wine Course in Aix-en-Provence!
