Jednodniowe wycieczki z Awinion

Went solo and didn’t feel awkward at all, which was a relief. Met another solo traveler and we geeked out over the reds—sooo smooth. Our guide answered, like, every random question I threw at him about terroir and oak barrels. The lookout point over Cassis was the highlight for me. Only thing: wish they sold more snacks at the wineries, I got a bit peckish after all that sipping.

Fun day with friends! The drive out was a bit long, but the scenery is amazing—rolling vineyards and then the coast. Our guide was funny and even sang us a song (not kidding). The first winery was my fave, super rustic and the staff poured generous tastings. Cassis was PACKED but so pretty, and we managed to snag a spot for lunch at a tiny bistro. Wish there was a bit more time to look around the town. Still, really cool experience.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to enjoy a wine tour THIS much, but wow. I tagged along with my partner and his parents, and the whole day felt like a lil’ adventure. Our guide, Pierre, was super chill but clearly knew his wine—like, he could probably sniff a grape and tell you its whole life story. The first stop was a family-run vineyard, and the owner’s dog followed us around the whole time (bonus points for that). Wines were delish, especially the Bandol rosé. Lunch in Cassis took a while (crazy busy on weekends), but sitting by the water with a glass made it worth it. Heads up: bring a hat, it got HOT by noon. Would 100% do this again.

Had a blast with my wife and another couple. Guide was super knowledgeable and made everyone laugh. Wines were varied—def recommend the whites! Watch out for the winding roads if you get carsick though.
