Following the drive to Cape Canaille, prepare to tantalize your taste buds with a delightful wine tasting session near Cassis. The Cassis Vineyard holds the distinction of being one of the first Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée established in 1936, alongside renowned regions such as Sauternes and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Exclusively cultivated in the district of Cassis, sheltered by the iconic Cap Canaille's towering cliffs plunging 400 meters into the Mediterranean Sea, the vineyard offers a truly unique terroir.
