We decided to take a wine tour of the Provence region. We arrived at the port of Toulon in the South of France and met up with our driver for our wine tour with Provence Wine Tours. It was fascinating to hear how wine starts as grapes and sometimes ages and barrels for months, even years, until the fermentation process is complete.
We picked up a few souvenirs including a tomato paste and an Ice Bag, which is used to chill wine. After we were done tasting, we headed to our next winery- Domaine de Souvou in Le Beausset.
This was a beautiful estate with lovely floral landscaping, surrounded by lavender fields and olive trees. We bought a bottle to bring home and cook with, along with some herbs and hand creme made with extra virgin olive oil. By this time, we were pretty hungry, so we drove to the town of Cassis for lunch.
We ate at Le 8 et Demi. We started out with a few drinks, then I ordered Gorgonzola pasta and Sam ordered a calzone which was huge!
Of course in France, Speedos are all the rage and bathing suit tops are optional. The only boobs the guys got to see where those of an old woman and a busty, overweight redhead. Oh well! For our final stop of the day, we drove to La Castellet Cape Canaill , one of the highest seaside cliffs in Europe. Besides Barcelona, where we ended our day Mediterranean Cruise, this was our last port of call.
