From Marseille: Full-Day Wine Tasting Tour of Bandol & Cassis

About this experience

From Marseille: Full-Day Wine Tasting Tour of Bandol and Cassis This full-day guided tour takes you from Marseille into the heart of Provence's celebrated wine regions. Your driver-guide leads a small group through the sun-soaked vineyards of Bandol, famous for its robust reds and elegant rosés, before continuing to the coastal town of Cassis with its dramatic limestone cliffs and picturesque harbour. The tour is limited to a maximum of eight participants, allowing for an unhurried and personal experience. Your knowledgeable driver-guide shares local insights throughout the day, covering the history, landscape, and winemaking traditions that define this corner of Provence. The day begins in Bandol, where your guide leads the group into a private wine cellar. There, the cellar host presents a tasting of the region's signature red and rosé wines, explaining the craft behind each and the distinctive terroir that shapes these acclaimed varietals. The group then travels to Le Castellet, a perfectly preserved medieval village of stone-paved streets, artisan shops, and panoramic vineyard views, with free time to explore at leisure. The tour continues to Cassis, where free time is given to wander the harbour and the edges of the Calanques coastline.
