The Fascinating Weekend

As mentioned above, the Fascinant Weekend is first and foremost an initiative of the Vignobles & Découvertes label. Created to promote French wine destinations while guaranteeing a quality wine tourism experience for its visitors, it has gradually established itself as the benchmark in the field. 

The principle behind this national label is to highlight regions that offer wine-related tourist activities that respect the environment and the authenticity of their terroirs. Wineries, restaurants, accommodation and leisure providers with the Vignobles & Découvertes label are committed to offering their customers a warm welcome and immersion in the local culture. In other words, for lovers of fine wines, it's the promise of a unique experience combining flavors and traditions.

The Fascinating Wine Weekend takes place every year in several regions of France, allowing visitors to explore different terroirs, customs and cultures. From meetings with winemakers to tasting workshops, the event reveals all the richness of Provence's wine-growing landscapes.

In Provence Sud Sainte Baume, the Fascinant Weekend takes on a special dimension thanks to the diversity of activities on offer and the natural landscapes surrounding our beloved wine estates. The region is a jewel box of greenery, between hills and coastline, where the vineyards benefit from exceptional sunshine. Here, emblematic appellations such as Bandol, famous for its powerful red wines and elegant rosés, naturally take pride of place.

As for the program, it's just like our vintages: rich, tasty and accessible to all: 

• Meetings with the winemakers: fascinating exchanges to discover the growers' methods and philosophy.
• Guided tours of the estates: hikes and guided tours in the heart of the Provencal countryside.
• Tasting workshops: sessions to learn about the aromas and flavors of local wines.
• With a host of other surprises, from food and wine pairings to sporting activities in the vineyards, the participating professionals have no shortage of ideas to get you moving to the rhythm of our regional treasure, the grape.

The Fascinant Weekend is much more than a gastronomic event: it's an invitation to discover Bandol and Provence Sud Sainte Baume wines in all their authenticity. Whether you're a connoisseur of fine wines or curious about the Var region's heritage, this event is a unique opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable sensory, sunny and cultural experience!
