Private Provençal Villages & Le Castellet Wine Estate Tour

Wind through the sun-scorched hills above Sanary to the medieval perched village of Le Castellet and the prestigious Bandol wine appellation. A private small-group experience blending Provençal architecture, lavender-scented air, and cellar-door tastings.

What to expect

Your private guide drives you up into the Var hills to Le Castellet, a perfectly preserved medieval village with stone archways, artisan boutiques, and panoramic views across vineyards to the sea. You'll explore the village at a leisurely pace before heading to a family-owned Bandol domaine for a guided cellar tour and tasting of their Mourvèdre-based reds and celebrated rosé. A traditional Provençal lunch of tapenade, daube, and local cheese is included. The descent back to Sanary passes through Bandol's charming port for a final stroll.
