Are you planning a vacation on the Côte d'Azur with a passion for food and wine? Let me share my insider secrets with you for a day in Nice, a city part Provençal, part Italian, uniquely Niçoise.
Nice cuisine means olives, oils, pissaladière, tians, petits farcis, panisses, pan bagnat, beignets, brousse, daubes, and especially socca, the famous chickpea pancake.
If some of this is a mystery to you, don't worry, you'll be eating like a vrai Niçois by the end of the day!
We'll start with the enticing smells and sights of the Cours Saleya market, stopping for tastes of olives, breads, cheeses, and meeting my favorite vendors with produce straight from their farms.Let us explore the maze of shady streets and sunny piazzas of Vieux Nice, the Old Town, as we discover a treasure trove of artisan food shops. Late morning we'll have a snack of socca with a glass of rosé wine, the authentic street food of Nice. Before lunch we have a tasting of local wines (including the rare Bellet,) in the 18th century cellars of a fourth generation wine merchant. Not sure which olive oil to buy? We'll taste an extraordinary selection of the best oils Provence has to offer, each paired with an appropriate dish, tapas style. In the afternoon you can take a siesta on the famous Promenade des Anglais, take in a museum, or go shopping with Hélène, a long-time resident of Nice with a nose for the best of whatever! We'll make your dinner reservations for you; your choice from our list of very biased recommendations! Your Nice Day starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Cost includes wine tasting, socca, olive oil tasting, and light lunch. Evening apero, dinner, and any other drinks/snacks are not included. €300 for one or two people, €500 for three or four people. Reserve a NICE Day now!  |
