Our driver Laurent was waiting for us right as we got off the ship. We drove first to a gorgeous winery in Cassis that had been family owned for over 200 years. We took a tour of the winery and learned the winemaking process. We then drove back into downtown Cassis and had free time for lunch and shopping. Afterwards, we ventured up to an overlook point of Cassis for gorgeous views, then proceeded to our final winery of the day. This one was also family owned but this one had been in the same family for over 500 years! After that we had a smooth drive back to the ship. What a gorgeous day!!

Lorias was a very personable & informative guide - highly recommend him! Both wineries we visited were beautiful & we enjoyed the wine tastings. We had free time for lunch in a town in between the 2 wineries. Lorias offered to make us a lunch reservation, which we should have done as it was very crowded & we couldn’t get a table & be served in the amount of time we had. We walked through a market & grabbed a sandwich to take & eat in the van on the way to the 2nd winery.

Our tour was well worth the money. Our guide Eric was kind, extremely knowledgeable, and great to talk to. He had a passion for sharing the history of the area with all who asked and encouraged questions. He was very professional and went above and beyond to make our trip wonderful!

Stefan greeted us at the ship and provided a fabulous tour of The Provence wine region. He is extremely knowledgeable about wine appellations, plantings, and production all over the world and shared tales of many experiences with us. We hope to encounter him again in our future visits.

My husband and I couldn't find any interesting excursions with Royal Caribbean so we booked this on Trip Advisor. It was our first time traveling overseas and our first time booking through Trip Advisor and the experience could not have been smoother. We took this tour in August of 2019. We were able to easily connect with our tour guide and the rest of our tour (a family of four). It was so nice to be in a small group where we could ask lots of questions and get a more personal experience. Our tour guide was so knowledgable and shared so much information about the wine, the area, and the culture. The wineries we went to were absolute gorgeous--beautiful views and delicious wine--what more could you ask for? We came with very little background knowledge of the wine making process so it was so fascinating to hear all about it. We got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. This tour was one of our favorite excursions and I would definitely recommend it, as it is fun, informative, and an amazing value!

We really enjoyed our visit to the 2 wineries and tastings at each one. I chose this tour because due to my husband’s knee problems he is unable to walk far. It was perfect. Our guide was excellent .her knowledge of English was very good and her in depth explanation of wine making in France was very thorough. The beautiful scenery and close up views of the estates made us feel we were seeing the ‘real France. We also visited the small town of Aix-en-Provence, a pretty old town with narrow streets and a square. We were the only 2 people on the tour so we truly had a private one!

Eric was an excellant tour guide and provided great education throughout the tour. The country side was beautiful. You get about an hour for lunch in a beautiful town. We wish we had more time there. The wineries we went to were ok.

We went on this tour May 2019 and Stefan was our tour guide. He was a fantastic guide giving lots of information about the region we were in as well as the wineries we visited. The first winery we went to was gorgeous and offered reds, whites, and roses. Then Stefan drove us to Cassis and stopped along the way for breathtaking views and pictures from the second highest cliff in Europe. Then he drove us down to the town area of Cassis where we had free time to explore the area and eat. In the town of Cassis there are ample restaurants along the water and area to shop as well. We then rod to the second winery where we tried a few whites and roses. There wasn’t as much area in this winery to tour compared to the first, but it still had nice views. After our second tasting, Stefan drove us back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. We would highly recommend this tour!
