    Eric was not only our...

    Eric was not only our driver but an excellent guide and a wine expert as well. Each of the wine tours were conducted by him instead of someone at the winery. Each location was perfect. Great day with Eric.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Christy for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had such a great experience with your guide. It’s always our goal to share our passion for Provence, its wines, its food and its beautiful landscapes, so your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again soon, as there is still so much more to discover in Provence!

    Great day, but does need more wine included

    First off, Jean Gabriel our tour guide was excellent. He was funny and the amount of information was amazing. You can tell he loves wine and enjoys his job. We chose a full day private wine tour. We understood we were going to 2 wineries and then Cassis for lunch. A reservation at Olea was made for us and the food was incredible. Pretty reasonably priced as well. We had 2 hours in Cassis which was plenty. Cassis is amazing. It is so pretty and again the food was incredible! We visited 2 wineries. The winery in the morning was incredible. We got a full tour, met the owner and had a tasting. Tastings are much different than what we were used to in the states. We tasted 3 wines and the portions were true tasting sizes. The wine was incredible. The 2nd winery was after lunch. This was just a tasting, no tour. Seemed like a more commercialized winery. Again, 3 tastings that were only tasting size. We did ask for an additional glass and were provided with another tasting size pour. We wished we would have had time to sit and have a bottle. We didn't necessarily feel rushed at the wineries, but we didn't feel like we were able to enjoy them. For a private wine tour we felt like we should have been given the opportunity to sit, relax and enjoy the wine. The total of 6 tastings between 2 wineries did not feel like enough for the price that we paid. This is a very expensive tour to not have at least 1 bottle of wine included. If a bottle of wine at 1 of the wineries were included then this is a perfect day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Chris for your 5-star review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your wine tour and truly appreciate your feedback. We completely understand that, after a lovely tasting, it can be tempting to stay a little longer and enjoy a full bottle at the winery. Many wineries in France, particularly smaller and family-run estates, are primarily set up for guided tastings and do not always have the facilities or licensing to serve full bottles for guests to enjoy on site. This is part of the traditional winery experience in our region, although we certainly understand that it may differ from what visitors are accustomed to elsewhere. We are sorry that this aspect of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We hope the wines, the beautiful estates, and the discoveries made throughout the day will remain wonderful memories of your time in Provence. Thank you again for choosing Planet Provence, and we would be delighted to welcome you back for another experience in our beautiful region!

    Exceptional wine tasting tour in Provence.

    We enjoyed a wonderful wine tour with Loris our guide in Provence, visiting two charming local wineries. Loris had an in depth knowledge of wine which was impressive. The tour was a blend of beautiful countryside views, education of regional winemaking, and generous tastings of exceptional rosés, reds, and whites. It was the perfect mix of learning, relaxation, and authentic Provençal atmosphere—this all made for an unforgettable fun day spent in wine country.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Sherri for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with your guide on one of our wine tours— that’s exactly what we aim for! We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime — there’s always more to taste and explore in Provence! Cheers!

    Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marseille.

    How much does Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port cost?

    +

    Prices start at $514 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marseille usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marseille is not rushed.

    Is Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marseille, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marseille can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marseille and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day Wine Tour in Provence From Marseille cruise port start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marseille within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Marseille?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marseille experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Beyond Bouillabaisse: Diving into Marseille’s Multicultural Stew, Marseille Guided Tour for 4 Hours with a Bilingual Local Guide, Marseille Food Tour – Full Meal of Local Tastes by Do Eat Better. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Marseille?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Marseille?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
