Full-day Wine Tour around Bandol & Cassis from Marseille

Kauaiguest, Dec 2024

We really enjoyed this tour. In fact, we were lucky to make it as Viator in their wisdom cancelled our reservation the night before the tour, and failed to advise us, so we showed up at the meeting point the next day not knowing that this had happened. Thanks to Eric, the tour guide, and his colleagues, there was room for us, so we were able to join the tour as planned.

We visited 3 wineries and Eric, a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide, explained the local wine making traditions and the processes of the winery. In 2 cases we actually met the winemakers themselves and it was special to be able to listen to them explaining what they were seeking to achieve with their wines and how they went about it. Eric himself previously worked in the wine industry so he had much knowledge to share.

And of course the wines - we tasted many and bought some too so that we could enjoy them at home.

One tip - if the weather is hot, heed the advice to take some water. You will need it.

The scenery is stunningly beautiful, as is Cassis, where we had lunch. And before heading back, Eric made a special detour to a beautiful look out over Cassis and the Calanques. It was a nice way to end a great day - again we were lucky that the view point was open at the time we were there. Thank you Eric!

It was an amazing day from start to finish. Erik was great and we really enjoyed seeing all the different vineyards and tasting different wines. We are from Ireland and we absolutely loved it! Thank you Erik.

Our tour guide was Erik and he was so nice and informative! He was a great tour guide and explained so much to us. I would definitely recommend the wineries are so beautiful as well and it is all well worth it all!!

By far one of the best wine tour experience. Eric was extremely knowledgeable, shared lots of passion and overall a very well organised tour. Would highly recommend.

Eric was amazing! Very knowledgeable about all aspects of wine from the history of the region to the wine making process. Really enjoyed the family wineries he brought us too.
