These two- and three-night breaks offer the most luxurious experience in the region, with accommodation in a sumptuous 5* hotel with incredible facilities, a private chauffeured vehicle to transport you as well as tours and tastings at your preferred Bandol and Cassis wineries. The package also gives you the opportunity to taste the best of colourful Provençal cuisine.
Upon arrival in the region, check into your preferred room grade at the 5* Hotel and Spa du Castellet. The remainder of the afternoon and evening will be free for you to do as you please. You may wish to simply relax and enjoy the hotel’s superb facilities, take a dip in the pool or enjoy an apéritif on the lovely terrace. Alternatively, you may prefer to explore your charming surroundings independently.
On the morning of day two, you will be met at the hotel by a chauffeured vehicle, which will accompany throughout your day of tours on a private basis. This first day of tours and tastings will be spent in the well-known Bandol appellation to learn all about the local grape variety, Mourvèdre, and try the refreshing local rosé wines. The Grape Escapes Provence specialists are happy to offer advice and make suggestions of wineries to visit, but if you have favourites you would like to visit, we would be pleased to discuss the various options with you. You will have some free time for lunch as part of the day, and at the end of the day, your driver will return you to your hotel.
Your day will conclude with an opulent, gastronomic six-course tasting dinner with wine pairing at the hotel’s triple Michelin-starred restaurant.
The four-day break includes a second full day of wine tours with your private driver/guide, this time in the Cassis appellation. You will have free time for lunch, and will be taken back to your hotel at the end of the day. Your final evening will be free for you to spend as you please.
