One of the main questions we are asked when passing the door of the office: which Bandol wine estate to visit and how to get there? Here is a small FAQ that should help you.

Which wine estate to visit?

The terroir of Bandol wines includes nearly 70 wine estates, scattered over several towns and villages in the surrounding area: La Cadière d'Azur, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, Le Castellet, Le Beausset, evenos, Ollioules or, Sanary-sur-Mer. There is therefore a wide choice, spread over a wide area.

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.

  • 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.
