Provence Wine Tastings in Sydney
A relaxed, thoughtful journey through the wines of Provence for private groups, corporate teams and hospitality professionals.
In brief: Provence Wine Club offers guided wine tastings across Sydney and the Northern Beaches. Sessions explain Provence appellations, grapes, winemaking, tasting and food pairing in clear language, with the format shaped around the group and occasion.
Hosted by Provence-born, Sydney-based founder Emilie Blanc, each tasting connects what is in the glass with the place, people and table culture behind it. You do not need prior wine knowledge: the aim is to leave with a better palate, a clearer way to choose Provence wine and a memorable shared experience.
Choose a format for your group
Private Provence tasting
A guided experience for friends, celebrations or wine-curious groups. The conversation can centre on classic Provence rosé, compare appellations, or follow the wider region through rosé, white and red wine.
Corporate wine experience
An engaging team or client event that combines sensory learning with conversation. Sessions can be introductory or more detailed and are designed to feel inclusive rather than like a test of wine vocabulary.
Hospitality education
A practical session for venue teams who want to speak about Provence wine with more confidence. Topics can include appellations, grape varieties, label language, serving, list placement and food matching.
What a Provence tasting can cover
- the difference between Provence, Côtes de Provence, Bandol, Cassis and other appellations;
- the roles of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Tibouren and Rolle;
- how direct pressing, short maceration, blending and ageing affect style;
- how to assess aroma, acidity, texture, balance and finish;
- why colour alone does not tell you sweetness or quality;
- serving temperature, glassware and Mediterranean or Australian food pairings.
For background before or after the session, explore the Australian guide to Provence wine, the appellation comparison and the grape guide.
