Experience the Renowned Cassis Wine Producing Area
Venture into the Cassis wine region, distinguished by its Protected Appellation (AOP) status since 1936, marking it as one of the initial vineyards in Provence to achieve this esteemed classification. Unlike its neighbors with Greek heritage, Cassis boasts unique Ligurian origins, nestled in a village that thrives under 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and benefits from the cooling maritime breezes – perfect conditions for extraordinary winemaking.
Savor the Unique Wines of Provence
Immerse yourself in the unique viticulture of Cassis, the sole region in Provence specializing in white wine production, predominantly from the Marsanne grape, ensuring an aromatic finesse and elegance. The addition of Clairette grapes introduces a refreshing acidity, complementing the Marsanne's richness. Not to be overlooked are the robust rosé and select red wines, crafted from blends of Cinsault, Grenache, and Mourvèdre.
This exclusive tour affords you the chance to taste these exquisite local wines, visiting a handpicked domain to explore a variety of bandol and cassis wines. Engage in a guided tasting session, uncovering the history and nuances of the estate's wine selection.
Explore the Enchanting Village of Cassis
