Excursion St. tropez stroll & wine heritage tour at Saint Tropez

Indulge your senses with the culture, architecture and flavours of St. Tropez during a scenic stroll around this seaside resort, and a wine class and tasting in a quaint village private terrace. Medieval streets lined with walled gardens, little squares set with dripping fountains and picturesque houses all await your exploration.

St. Tropez

Although St. Tropez is world-renowned as an ultra-chic haunt of the rich and famous, this charming seaside resort is also a genuine Provençal village with a rich cultural heritage.

After tendering ashore, meet your guide at the pier station, then take a guided walking tour to discover the architectural and traditional beauty of St. Tropez. As you proceed along the old harbour, often painted by famous artists, see an 1866 statue of Bailli de Suffren, seaside houses with vaulted basements that used to be boat garages on quai Jean-Jaurès, and the famous Sénéquier Teahouse.

Next, your walking tour continues on to the Town Hall Square for a look back at a time when St. Tropez was an independent republic so rigorously well-defended by its inhabitants that it was never conquered.

Wine Tasting

Proceed into a dedicated room in town, where an expert oenologist greets your arrival and introduces you to the world of wine and winemaking on the St. Tropez Peninsula. Learn the three techniques, sight, smell and taste, as well as the art of using the right words to describe these sensations. The expert then puts your senses to the test in an interactive game of flavour-detection. Learn how to discern different types of wine, and match food with the correct wine.

Following this unique experience, you may return directly to the pier or spend the afternoon in town at your leisure.
