About this tour
Spend two hours at a Bandol vineyard with a former Michelin-starred sommelier who breaks down winemaking from vine to glass. You'll walk through the production process, learn to taste strategically rather than guess, and sample the estate's range of wines. Half a bottle per person is included, along with transport and entry. By the end, you'll understand what you're drinking instead of just enjoying it.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and takes you through the vineyard's working areas, explaining how grapes become wine at each stage. You'll taste several of the estate's offerings—reds, whites, rosés—and he'll show you how to actually assess them: what to look for visually, how to nose a wine, what flavours emerge. This isn't pretentious stuff; he keeps it straightforward and practical. You'll spend roughly two hours here, with time to ask questions and taste at your own pace. The half bottle serves as a memento and a chance to enjoy one wine more fully.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for vineyard walking. The tasting room is air-conditioned. Gratuities aren't included but are always appreciated. Book in advance, especially during harvest season. Designated drivers or non-drinkers can still join and taste non-alcoholic alternatives.
