The operator behind it carries a 5.0 rating across 33 reviews, which is a strong showing for a tour of this type. Because the itinerary bends to your pace, it suits couples marking an occasion as well as small groups who want the tasting pace set by themselves rather than a schedule. Free cancellation applies.

That runtime is the longest half-day on the Aix roster, which usually means a relaxed pace at two estates rather than a rushed circuit. Grenache, mourvedre and syrah anchor the reds; cinsaut, grenache and syrah do the same for the roses. Free cancellation applies.

The route follows the coast road between the two villages, with tastings at family estates along the way. The tour holds a 4.9 rating across 11 reviews, and booking carries free cancellation.

The score reads 5.0 across 4 reviews, a thin base but with no dissent in it. Pricing starts at $180.01 per person. Cancellation is free, which matters on a day this long.

8-Hour Bandol And Cassis, Rosé Focus

An 8-hour full-day rosé circuit from Aix-en-Provence through Bandol and Cassis, operated by Tylene Transport Tourisme. It holds a 5.0 rating across 2 reviews, starts from $191.62 per person, and comes with free cancellation. · 8 hours · Small group · Run by Tylene Transport Tourisme

Bandol and Cassis sit on opposite sides of the same stretch of Provençal coastline, and this 8-hour tour from Aix-en-Provence pairs them in one day.

Tylene Transport Tourisme runs the circuit with tastings at domaines in both appellations, plus time in the town of Cassis itself. The tour holds a 5.0 rating across 2 reviews and starts from $191.62 per person, with free cancellation.

A 4-hour half-day from Avignon with A La Francaise Tourisme - Provence, rated 4.8 across 456 reviews, from $103.36 per person, free cancellation included. · 4 hours · Small group · Run by A La Francaise Tourisme - Provence

A La Francaise Tourisme - Provence runs this half-day run out of Avignon, 17 km from the papal city, into the galets-covered slopes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The village sits on the Rhône's left bank and its reds, built largely on grenache, carry the appellation's name far beyond Provence. The trip lasts 4 hours, costs from $103.36 per person, and is rated 4.8 across 456 reviews. Free cancellation applies, so a change of plan does not have to cost anything. Cellar visits and tastings are the core of the itinerary, with the drive short enough that most of the half-day is spent in the village rather than on the road.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lunch Included

Likely to sell out

Nine-hour Châteauneuf-du-Pape day trip from Avignon with Provence Panorama, rated 4.8 across 89 reviews, from $197.43 per person, free cancellation. · 9 hours · Small group · Run by Provence Panorama

Nine hours is what separates a proper Châteauneuf-du-Pape day from a rushed one. Provence Panorama uses the extra time for a slower route through the appellation, several cellar stops, and a real lunch break in the village rather than a sandwich in the van. The tour departs from Avignon, which matters here: the village is only 17 km away, so almost none of the day is spent on the road. Rated 4.8 across 89 reviews, from $197.43 per person, with free cancellation.

A full-day private outing from Avignon pairing the two heavyweight crus of the southern Rhône.

Eight hours with Madame Voyage en Provence, priced at $1,219.42 for a group of up to eight, with free cancellation. Terroir commentary and tastings are the core of the day.
