Explore one of the region's most picturesque villages and sample some of the wines of Provence on this excursion to the medieval village of Le Castellet. The village retains its fortified look with sections of the ancient ramparts still intact and the streets are cobblestone with quaint little houses.
From the pier, board your coach for a scenic ride past villages, vineyards, and olive groves to the charming hilltop village of Le Castellet.
Le Castellet
On arrival, enter the village through a fortified gate and embark on a walking tour that takes you past the 16th-century chateau, Romanesque church, and meticulously restored stone houses that line the village squares.
Have time to browse the local handicraft shops and art galleries.
Domaine de Souviou Winery
Re-board your coach and drive to Domaine de Souviou Winery, whose history dates back 1,000 years. Nestled in a well-protected valley by the Sainte Baume Massif, the estate today encompasses roughly 126 acres (51 hectare), including the famous "caves," or cellars where the wine is stored.
Enjoy a tour culminating in the winery's special tasting room, where you can sample some gougasse (local bread made with olives, nuts, or rosemary) accompanied by local wines.
After the wine tasting, re-board your coach for the approximate 30-minute return to the pier.
Please note: This walking tour requires a moderate amount of walking for approximately 1000m (.62 miles) over paved and unpaved surfaces with some inclines in the village. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, walking shoes and sun protection.
