TOULON TOURS

An incredible tour which starts at a near by, little known medieval village full of history, Napoleon and charm. We follow an ancient road through the mighty Gorges of Olllioules to our next destination, Le Castellet. Immediately we are surrounded by the famous vineyards of Bandol wine appellation, and, as if we are in a road trip movie, we zig zag through typical bright Provencal country side. We do an obligatory stop to sample some of these great wines, while learning and understanding what makes the grape varieties here so special. We carry on to Le Castellet and its famous castle where we will visit esoteric shops, winding streets, and have a 360 degree view of vineyards, mountains, and the sea. An incredible location at the heart of the Var district of Provence. This is off-beaten-path of most tours in Provence. After we had lunch we will carry on to probably the most beautiful and authentic ports in all of Provence, the celebrated Sanary-sur-mer, and I need not say more.

During this activity in the heart of the Domaine Lou Capelan, you will be able to apprehend the different stages leading to the vinification of our Bandol wines. It will then be time to practice with the tasting of our different wines.

This immersion in the heart of our estate will begin with a guided tour of our cellar, to learn more about the stages of winemaking of our wines of Bandol & Mont Caume. Then we will leave for a ride in the heart of the vineyard in Gyropode all terrain, for about twenty minutes. The opportunity to learn more about our different grape varieties, but also to admire our views on the villages of Castellet and Cadière d'Azur. Finally, the activity will conclude with the tasting of our local wines of Mont Caume & Bandol, in the 3 colors. 3 wines from the Pays and 3 wines from Bandol at the Tasting.
