Choose Your Preferred Wine Appellation

From Aix, you can reach several renowned Provence appellations, each with its own terroir, grape varieties and style. With your wine‑specialist guide, learn how the soils, climate and winemaking techniques shape the character of the wines as you tour estates and ageing cellars.

All full‑day tours include guided tastings at carefully selected wineries, with the option to focus on reds, rosés or whites according to your preferences.

Coteaux d’Aix‑en‑Provence

To the west of Aix, the Coteaux d’Aix‑en‑Provence vineyards stretch from the Durance River to the Mediterranean and from the Rhône Valley towards Mont Sainte‑Victoire. This appellation is known for structured red wines with firm yet supple tannins and generous texture, as well as round, aromatic rosés often marked by a fresh, mineral finish.

Côtes de Provence Sainte‑Victoire

At the foot of Mont Sainte‑Victoire, this sub‑appellation grows on poor but high‑quality limestone and sandstone soils. The result is expressive reds ranging from delicate to more powerful and age‑worthy, and pale, elegant rosés with fine aromas and good length on the palate.

Bandol

Facing the sea in a natural amphitheatre of terraces, Bandol’s vineyard is sheltered by the Sainte‑Baume massif and planted mainly with Mourvèdre, the emblematic grape of the appellation, supported by Grenache and Cinsault. Expect structured, balanced reds with depth and spicy notes, alongside generous, gastronomic rosés with body and length.

Cassis

One of the region’s earliest protected appellations, Cassis is a small coastal vineyard focused on white wines dominated by Marsanne. These whites are noted for their aromatic intensity, finesse and saline freshness, often pairing beautifully with local seafood and Mediterranean cuisine.

Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape

Further north, Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape is one of France’s historic AOC areas, with roots in Roman times and major development under the Avignon Popes in the 14th century. Explore the village and the ruins of the papal summer residence and taste powerful, complex reds – often from blends of several permitted grape varieties – shaped by its famous galet‑covered soils.
