Indagare Tours: Vineyards in Ramatuelle

The area where the chic and wealthy hide out in private hillside villas is also renowned for its Côtes de Provence vineyards. Locals adore Château des Marres, where award-winning whites are created. Other Côtes de Provence vineyards are scattered along Route D61, in nearby Gassin. Among the best: the classic Château Minuity, which makes delicious fruity rosés and highly rated reds; buy directly from the cellar, and have a peek at the 18th-century chapel on the grounds. And don’t miss the equally top-notch Château de Barbeyrolles. Indagare members can contact our bookings team to arrange for a guided tour.
