The perfect sensory experience for an exceptional late afternoon.
Available daily during the season. The view is the most spectacular in'April to September (sunset after 8pm in summer). In the off-season (Oct–Mar), plan to depart at 1:30 PM to enjoy the golden light before nightfall.

THE Bellet Castle est le domaine emblématique et historique de l'appellation — l'une des plus petites AOC de France, nichée à seulement 15 km du centre de Nice. Sur ses terrasses calcaires dominant la mer, les vignerons cultivent depuis des siècles des cépages quasi-uniques au monde : Rolle (blanc minéral et tendu), Gear (rosé floral et délicat) et Crazy Black (rouge léger et fruité), descendants directs des plants apportés par les Phocéens grecs il y a 2 500 ans. Visite guidée du domaine, découverte des caves et des vignes en terrasses, puis dégustation commentée des cuvées d'exception — des vins servis dans les grandes tables de la Riviera, introuvables en grande distribution.
