Program & Itinerary
A Day of Provence Wines from Marseille
Set out from Marseille on a private Provence wine tour designed for curious wine lovers and relaxed explorers alike. From the moment you leave the port, you’re surrounded by vineyards, gentle hills and sun‑drenched villages that make this region so irresistible. With your own driver‑guide, you can simply sit back, enjoy the views and focus on the wines in your glass.
Discover Characterful Wine Areas
Depending on the day and estate availability, your tour may explore elegant Coteaux d’Aix‑en‑Provence, coastal vineyards near Cassis, or sun‑baked Côtes de Provence hillsides. Each area has its own personality, from crisp whites and structured reds to the pale, aromatic rosés Provence is famous for. Wherever you go, the focus is on authentic estates chosen for quality and charm.
Visits and Tastings at Handpicked Wineries
You’ll visit two wineries, where friendly hosts introduce you to their cellars, vineyards and winemaking philosophy. Walk among barrels, learn how different grapes and soils shape flavour, and then enjoy guided tastings of several cuvées. Your guide is on hand to translate, answer questions and share simple tasting tips, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned enthusiast.
Scenery, Stories and Local Life
Between tastings, your route winds past vineyards, olive groves and stone villages, offering plenty of photo stops and stories about Provençal life. You might glimpse a hilltop village, a shimmering coastline or a quiet country chapel along the way. The pace stays relaxed, giving you time to savour both the landscapes and the wines without feeling rushed.
Why This Wine Tour Stands Out
This private shore excursion combines flexibility, comfort and depth: the wine area is adapted to the day, group size remains small, and logistics from the Marseille Cruise Terminal are fully handled for you. It’s a rewarding choice if you want to spend your day in port discovering Provence’s wine culture, enjoying beautiful countryside and sharing memorable glasses with your travelling companions.
