How do I get to a domain?

Very good question ! The easiest answer is of course: with your car. Obviously, this answer does not suit everyone for reasons that are quite easily understood. You came by public transport, you are alone and want to taste wines (because the one who drives is the one who does not drink, we remind you)…

The estates being scattered all over the place and above all, rather remote from the main roads, bus and train options are unfortunately not possible.

That said, many transport providers are at your disposal to take you to discover these beautiful places. So the options available to you are:

  • Book a taxi or a VTC : you can find the list of Bandol service providers in by clicking here.
  • Car rental : two companies are available in Bandol namely Rent-a-Car et Europcar.
  • Rent an electric bike : probably the most economical option, renting an electric bike. That said, beware, the roads leading to the wine estates are not equipped with cycle paths. You will therefore travel on the road alongside the cars. To find out the list of Bandol rental companies, click here.

Warning: alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, consume in moderation. The one who drives is the one who doesn't drink.

are there organized tours in the estates?

The answer is yes ! Wine Tour is one of the companies that accompany you on the Bandol wine route. To discover their formulas, click here:

Are there any events organized in the estates?
