Fabulous day of wine tasting in stunning locations and fabulous views
raisam2025, Apr 2025
Eric, our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly very passionate. We talked us through the wine making process, all the flavour noted during the tasting and even took us to a stunning view point at the end of the trip that overlooked the coast of Cassis. The wines we tasted were also quite amazing and the hosts were warm. Only 1 suggestion is if that as we arrived in Cassis at lunch time, it was busy and the wait for food was long so if the lunch break could be slightly longer that would have been perfection.
Wonderful tour!
