Vanuit Marseille: Dagtour Wijnproeverij naar Bandol & Cassis at Radisson Blu hotel

“Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy a wine tour THIS much, but wow. I tagged along with my partner and his parents, and the whole day felt like a lil’ adventure. Our guide, Pierre, was super chill but clearly knew his wine—like, he could probably sniff a grape and tell you its whole life story. The first stop was a family-run vineyard, and the owner’s dog followed us around the whole time (bonus points for that). Wines were delish, especially the Bandol rosé. Lunch in Cassis took a while (crazy busy on weekends), but sitting by the water with a glass made it worth it. Heads up: bring a hat, it got HOT by noon. Would 100% do this again.”

“Fun day with friends! The drive out was a bit long, but the scenery is amazing—rolling vineyards and then the coast. Our guide was funny and even sang us a song (not kidding). The first winery was my fave, super rustic and the staff poured generous tastings. Cassis was PACKED but so pretty, and we managed to snag a spot for lunch at a tiny bistro. Wish there was a bit more time to look around the town. Still, really cool experience.”

“Went solo and didn’t feel awkward at all, which was a relief. Met another solo traveler and we geeked out over the reds—sooo smooth. Our guide answered, like, every random question I threw at him about terroir and oak barrels. The lookout point over Cassis was the highlight for me. Only thing: wish they sold more snacks at the wineries, I got a bit peckish after all that sipping.”

“Great wines, friendly people. The weather was HOT, so bring sunscreen or you’ll regret it. Vineyard cats were all over the place, kinda funny. Cassis viewpoint = epic. Would give 5 stars but felt a little rushed at lunch.”

“Loved this tour! I dragged my two teens along and even they had a good time (miracle). Our guide made the history bits interesting, and the wine tastings were spaced out so it never felt too much. The drive between Bandol and Cassis is STUNNING. Tips: comfy shoes, and maybe a water bottle, since you’ll be out in the sun a lot.”

“Never thought I’d be into wine tours, but this was a highlight of our trip. The group was small, felt almost private. Vineyard dogs are the real MVPs. Cassis is so cute, almost too photogenic. Advice: wear light clothes, it got warm fast.”

“Nice experience overall. First winery was a bit crowded and loud, but the second one was peaceful and had the best view of the trip. Guide gave us lots of time to take photos at the lookout, which I appreciated. Would have liked a bit more info on the grape varieties.”

“We went as a family (kids are 12 and 15), and it was surprisingly family-friendly. The guide kept the kids entertained with stories about local legends. Husband and I loved the reds. Cassis lunch was slow but tasty. Bring a fan if you don’t like heat!”

“If you love wine and pretty places, just go. Our guide Sebastian was a total wine nerd (in a good way), and even had maps to show us where all the grapes grew. I learned a ton. Cassis town is tiny but packed with charm. Had THE best lemon tart at a bakery there.”

“We did this with two other couples and had a blast. The guide was hilarious and made the day fly by. Loved that we got to meet the actual winemaker at the second stop. Cassis is gorgeous, but get ready for crowds if you go during a holiday.”
