A wonderful 1/2 day wine tasting tour in Bandol and Cassis! - I was with my daughter and there were two other girls my daughter's age, which was wonderful and two other couples. The afternoon was wonderful and so memorable! Everything was so organized. Our guide, Stephane was great - full of information about the wine region, wine making, and wine production! The area is gorgeous and Stephane treated us to an amazing view of Cassis after our tastings! Stunning! I would definitely take another tour when I return. Loved the small group size as well!

Fantastic tour! - This wine tour of Bandol & Cassis was a great half day outing. My boyfriend and I stayed in Marseilles, but took an early train to Aix-en-Provence and explored the city in the morning. At 1pm, we met our tour guide Stefan and the rest of the group easily - the group is intimate, the perfect size! Our van was spacious and comfortable. We started at a winery in Bandol & received a tour and tasting, and then did the same in Cassis. The wines were fantastic and there is an option to purchase - however you are never pressured to buy anything! Some of the group did, and some didn't. Stefan was extremely knowledgeable about everything wine related and is definitely an expert on the region itself. He was personable & cheerful and made the tour amazing! We were lucky enough to have a great group and had a fantastic time on the tour. After the tour, we had a nice dinner in Aix and headed back to Marseilles. It was a great day!

Ok - Wineries were pleasant enough. Being California residents this “was not out first rodeo”. A lot of driving for two vineyards visited Guide was very knowledgeable to the point of too much information for the uninitiated particularly while driving.
