Aix-en-Provence: Cassis Boat Ride and Wine Tasting Day Tour – Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France

EXPERIENCE:

Explore the charming Cassis and its seaside port on this full-day guided tour. Enjoy a boat ride, awe-inspiring scenery, a visit to a local winery to taste Provence rosé, red, and white wines, and more.

Meet your guide in Aix-en-Provence to journey to the seaside port of Cassis. Discover this inviting portside village and the Calanques, listed by UNESCO as a world heritage national park.

Follow your guide on a walking tour of the village, stroll through the narrow streets of Cassis, and browse the small shops and stores that sell local Provence goods.

The tour continues with a panoramic boat ride to the Calanques, located near Cassis. From the small port, reach the Calanques National Park that stretches from Marseille to Cassis, and admire the beautiful coves of the steep rocky coast.

After the boat ride, enjoy some free time for exploring Cassis and have lunch (own expense).

No tour to Cassis is complete without a drive along the Route des Crêtes. As you leave Cassis, head up towards one of the highest sea cliff in Europe, Cap Canaille. Your guide will stop in one of the many areas for taking in the views over the village and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea.

After the drive to Cap Canaille, enjoy a wine tasting in the Cassis area. The Cassis Vineyard was among the very first Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée in 1936. Taste local wines and learn about the winery and the wine making process of this very popular wine. Although the whites – dry and fruity – are the most renowned, the reds and rosés are also well known.

After the wine tasting session, relax with drop-off in the city center of Aix-en-Provence.
