Cassis & Bandol Rosé Wine Tour , Cassis

Overview

On the coast of France's southeastern Provence region, you'll find two charming Mediterranean villages: Cassis and Bandol. Besides the old-world charm, these villages are known for many things, including breathtaking natural beauty. Cassis sits on the edge of Calanques National Park, famous for its hidden coves and large limestone sea cliffs. Bandol is known for its crescent white-sand beach, which appeals to sunseekers of all stripes. Both areas, however, are known for their hundreds of acres of vineyards that produce stellar wine. While exploring these two villages, you can sample some of the best.

Provence, in general, is renowned for its fine rosé wines, but Cassis is more famous for whites while Bandol leads in reds and rosés. You'll visit some of the most famous wineries in this region and enjoy tastings overlooking beautiful terraced vineyards and the Mediterranean Sea. The tastings also include tours of the facilities, which offer insight into the production process. Plus, there's a stop at Cape Canaille, which overlooks Cassis from the east for even more jaw-dropping views. The excursion ends with a leisurely lunch back in the postcard-worthy fishing village of Cassis.
