Sail & Wine is a day cruise in Saint-Tropez, aboard a private boat, chosen according to the group size, taste and client\u2019s budget.\u2028But in this experience, it\u2019s not the boat that plays the leading role.\u2028
Interview with the woman who combines the elegance of wine and gastronomy with the pleasures of Saint-Tropez and Proven\u00e7al culture, to whom we asked how she came up with the idea of tastings on the water.<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n How did the idea come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n Daria: The Saint-Tropez clientele doesn\u2019t like to leave Saint-Tropez. And I understand! Why leave when everything is here?\u2028 For those who don\u2019t want to leave Saint-Tropez and its unique atmosphere, Daria brings the best wines of Provence on a boat, to enjoy while gazing at the village bell tower at sunset or on a floating platform in Pampelonne Bay. aria: The best wines are often the result of great effort, concentration and family work. These winemakers don\u2019t have the time or mindset to think about aesthetics. It\u2019s like in Burgundy: the best crus often have little tourist appeal. Wine Tourism and exceptional wines can coexist in the same estate, but it\u2019s rare! That\u2019s why I specialize in these confidential crus, off the beaten path, carefully hidden from the French Riviera, accessible only with terroir expertise, from confidential productions absent from tourist routes, whose winemakers don\u2019t seek to receive visitors\u2026 and yet, these are the wines you must taste to truly feel the authenticity and typicity of Provence\u2019s terroir. <\/span><\/em> Another aspect of Saint-Tropez, integrated in the organization of this experience: restaurants don\u2019t allow early reservations, but on the Riviera, lunches linger, friends wait to extend them, and plans shift. Daria and her team understood this well, adjusting scheduling with perfectly adapted experiences along the coast. Everything is optimized to respect the client\u2019s program and priorities. <\/p>\n For those who don\u2019t have a whole day to spend on the boat, Daria offers the Sunset Experience, a 4-hour Wine Moment at sea while admiring the sunset. Back on land, the evening can continue! <\/p>\n Daria: Want to surprise your loved one? Come watch the sunset together, just the two of you!\u2028 Sail & Wine is a day cruise in Saint-Tropez, aboard a private boat, chosen according to the group size, taste and client\u2019s budget.\u2028But in this experience, it\u2019s not the boat that plays the leading role.\u2028The true diva of the Sail & Wine Show is Madame Dolce Vita.

Ros\u00e9s and whites are carefully chosen from pearls of local estates, selected with winemakers and producers throughout the year, and from the many wine fairs she attends, choosing 5 favorites each year: organic, light, refreshing and simply delicious.
She pairs them with aged cheeses and artisanal charcuterie, from producers in the South of France. No need to be an expert to understand these products are exceptional! Good things are simple. <\/p>\n\n
All this comes together in the enchanting setting of Saint-Tropez, and the magic works instantly in its mythical ports, a little maneuver in front of the S\u00e9n\u00e9quier quay, or perhaps a trip to Port-Grimaud\u2026 the Proven\u00e7al Venice, where the lights reflect on Pampelonne\u2019s waters, sparkling along La Nartelle at midnight, followed by a lunch or dinner around exceptional products: rare fruits from Madagascar paired with sandy terroir wines and the century-old vines of Fort de Br\u00e9gan\u00e7on. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
