Local wineries and gorgeous views!
sydney_o, Dec 2024
Our driver Laurent was waiting for us right as we got off the ship. We drove first to a gorgeous winery in Cassis that had been family owned for over 200 years. We took a tour of the winery and learned the winemaking process. We then drove back into downtown Cassis and had free time for lunch and shopping. Afterwards, we ventured up to an overlook point of Cassis for gorgeous views, then proceeded to our final winery of the day. This one was also family owned but this one had been in the same family for over 500 years! After that we had a smooth drive back to the ship. What a gorgeous day!!

Fun wine tasting in lovely settings
Connie_A, Dec 2024
Lorias was a very personable & informative guide - highly recommend him! Both wineries we visited were beautiful & we enjoyed the wine tastings. We had free time for lunch in a town in between the 2 wineries. Lorias offered to make us a lunch reservation, which we should have done as it was very crowded & we couldn’t get a table & be served in the amount of time we had. We walked through a market & grabbed a sandwich to take & eat in the van on the way to the 2nd winery.

Dear Connie,
Thank you for your feedback and your kind words about the tour and our guide. We carefully select the wineries we work with and we're delighted you enjoyed them. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with lunch. For future excursions, feel free to ask in advance to ensure you have enough time to enjoy your meal. As stated, lunch is not included in the tour. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoyed strolling through the beautiful streets of Aix-en-Provence and its typically Provencal local market.
Take care, Cheers !
Wonderful
