Discover the very best of Provence on a private Bandol and Cassis wine tour from Marseille Cruise Port. Designed for wine lovers and curious food and travel enthusiasts, this full-day shore excursion combines guided tastings, beautiful coastal and countryside scenery, and time to soak up the charm of two iconic Provençal appellations.
Your day begins with a personalized pickup at the Marseille cruise terminal. Meet your knowledgeable English-speaking driver/guide, who will introduce the day’s program and answer your questions before you set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle toward the Provence wine country.
Head first to the Bandol wine region, renowned for its characterful reds and refined rosés, often based on the Mourvèdre grape. Arrive at a carefully selected Bandol winery, where you will tour the estate, learn about the local terroir and winemaking traditions, and enjoy a guided tasting of their key wines. This is the perfect opportunity to understand what makes Bandol one of Provence’s most respected appellations.
Your journey continues to the coastal village of Cassis, home to a historic appellation famous for its expressive white wines. Visit a Cassis winery for a guided tasting and discover how the sea, limestone cliffs, and Mediterranean climate shape the style of the wines. When timing allows, enjoy free time in Cassis to wander the colorful harbor, relax at a café, sample local specialties, or browse Provençal boutiques.
After a day filled with exceptional wines, scenic views, and Provençal charm, relax on the drive back to Marseille. Your driver will drop you off at your cruise ship, leaving you with memorable flavors and a deeper appreciation of the Bandol and Cassis wine regions.
If you want to share your tour with others, you can put it on Cruise Critic. Most of the time this gives good results. You must do this yourself as we are not accepted on their site as a professional business. We accept split payment transactions by credit card.
This shore excursion is best for wine lovers and curious beginners who want to taste Provence wines without worrying about driving or logistics. It’s ideal for couples, friends, and small adult groups who enjoy relaxed tastings, scenic countryside, and learning simple wine basics in an easygoing way.
It suits travelers who prefer an intimate, small‑group experience over big coach tours, and who like combining beautiful landscapes with authentic local estates rather than ticking off lots of cities in one day.
