What To Expect

Embark into this journey to the seaside port of Cassis: first enjoy a guided tour of the village followed by a 1 hour boat ride to the Calanques on the turquoise waters.Afterwards, enjoy some free time to wander and really take in the Provence vibe, eat lunch - your guide will be happy to give you recommendations for the best restaurants!As you leave Cassis, your drive will begin to head up towards one of the highest sea cliff in all of Europe, Cap Canaille! Your driver/guide will stop in one of the many areas dedicated to take in the views over the village and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. Then, it will be time for you to experience a wine tasting session near Cassis. The Cassis Vineyard was among the very first Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée in 1936 (with Sauternes and Châteauneuf-du-Pape). It is planted – and this is noteworthy – exclusively in the district of Cassis, sheltered by famous Cap Canaille. After a short drive, arrive at a carefully selected winery. Upon arrival, taste local wines and find out about the winery and the wine making process of this very popular wine. Although the whites – dry and fruity – are the most renowned, the reds and rosés are also well-known.
