Trip Summary

Golf WineDesigned for wine-loving golfers, our Bandol and Golf package is part of our Wine and Beyond range, offering customers the opportunity to combine a few of the finer things in life. The package is based at the unique Hotel Resort Le Fregate Provence, which boasts one of the most beautiful golf courses in Europe. As well as having plenty of time to make the most of your hotel’s incredible facilities, you will also be introduced to the famous rosé and white wines of Provence, and particularly to the specificities of the Bandol and Cassis appellations. This break will give you a taste of the authentic Provençal art de vivre!

Golf WineAfter settling in on day one, you will have a free afternoon and evening to relax at the hotel and explore your charming surroundings independently.

On the morning of day two, enjoy a round of golf on the hotel’s 18-hole course. Your package includes the green fee as well as a buggy. The 6,210 m par 72 Frégate course was designed by American Golf Course Architect Ronald Fream at the heart of the Provençal vineyards, surrounding by pine trees and with 15 breath-taking view points across the Mediterranean Sea. We will reserve you a table for lunch at the hotel’s traditional bistro. The remainder of the day will be free to relax at the hotel.
