Product Info

The experience begins with a meeting with Alain, the winemaker of Domaine Ray-Jane, a family estate founded in 1288 in the heart of the Bandol appellation. You will discover the history of the estate and the particularities of this unique Provençal terroir between the sea and the hills. The visit continues with a tour of the cellar and the ageing cellar, where Alain will explain the stages of winemaking and ageing of Bandol wines, as well as the role of the appellation's emblematic grape variety: Mourvèdre. You will also discover the estate's museum, one of the largest ecomuseums in Europe dedicated to the vine and wine, which brings together more than 30,000 tools and ancient objects related to the work of the vine and the history of wine. The experience ends with a convivial tasting of several wines from the estate.

Important Info

Reminders

  • Not Suitable For: People with mobility impairments

  • Know Before You Go: The activity takes place at Domaine Ray-Jane, located in Bandol. Please arrive about 5 minutes before the tour starts. The wine tasting is for adults only, but minors can accompany adults during the tour of the estate and the museum.

  • Know Before You Go: The tour of the cellar and the aging cellar takes place in an area maintained at around 15°C. We therefore advise you to wear light clothing. Access to these areas is via a staircase with ascending and descending steps, so the activity may be less suitable for people with reduced mobility.

  • Know Before You Go: Parking is available onsite. The vineyard's wines can be purchased in the cellar at the end of the tasting.
