Your journey commences by venturing to the Bay of Cassis, a picturesque haven basked in the Provencal sun. As you arrive, the charming and vibrant fishing village of Cassis greets you with its colorful allure. A leisurely stroll along the lively harbor unveils the village's quaint charm. The terraced vineyards of Cassis extend gracefully along the slopes, known as "restanques," where they eventually meet the azure embrace of the sea.

Prepare to explore esteemed local domaines such as Paternel and Bagnol, where you'll be treated to exclusive cellar visits and guided wine tastings. Discover the renowned white wines that have elevated the reputation of this remarkable region. Notably, Cassis proudly produces a majority of white wine containing at least 80% Marsanne, setting it apart in the realm of Provencal wines. Rosé and red wines also grace the Cassis terroir.

Did you know that the Cassis AOC appellation holds the distinction of being the first French "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée," established in 1936? Remarkably, it's the sole French AOC fully embraced by a National Park—the esteemed 'Parc National des Calanques.'

Continuing your journey, we guide you to the Bandol region, a testament to Provence's international recognition as a premier wine destination. Here, you'll savor the famed red Bandol wines, some of which rival the finest reds in all of Provence. The Bandol AOC encompasses the viticulture of eight communes, featuring soils rich in silicon and limestone. This, paired with the region's warm coastal climate, proves ideal for nurturing the late-ripening Mourvèdre grape—a dominant variety in the area. Rich in tannins, Bandol's red wines gracefully age, reminiscent of Bordeaux's renowned aging potential.

As you relish the wine and indulge in the breathtaking panoramas, the tour concludes with your return to your hotel or cruise boat. Our chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle ensures that your journey remains just as extraordinary as the destinations themselves. With Avantgarde Limousine, every moment of your wine tour in Provence is curated to perfection, embracing the region's beauty and flavors while providing a seamless and memorable experience.
