Bandol wine region – tasting at a local estate
Head first to the Bandol wine region, renowned for its characterful reds and refined rosés, often based on the Mourvèdre grape. Arrive at a carefully selected Bandol winery, where you will tour the estate, learn about the local terroir and winemaking traditions, and enjoy a guided tasting of their key wines. This is the perfect opportunity to understand what makes Bandol one of Provence’s most respected appellations.
Cassis wine region – guided tasting and village time
Your journey continues to the coastal village of Cassis, home to a historic appellation famous for its expressive white wines. Visit a Cassis winery for a guided tasting and discover how the sea, limestone cliffs, and Mediterranean climate shape the style of the wines. When timing allows, enjoy free time in Cassis to wander the colorful harbor, relax at a café, sample local specialties, or browse Provençal boutiques.
Return to Marseille Cruise Port
After a day filled with exceptional wines, scenic views, and Provençal charm, relax on the drive back to Marseille. Your driver will drop you off at your cruise ship, leaving you with memorable flavors and a deeper appreciation of the Bandol and Cassis wine regions.
