This afternoon tour takes you to two iconic estates — Bellet Castle and Domaine des Hautes Collines — before culminating in a spectacular sunset overlooking the Mediterranean and the Alps from the heights of Saint-Jeannet. The perfect sensory experience for an exceptional late afternoon.

THE Bellet Castle This is the historic and emblematic estate of the Bellet AOC appellation—one of the smallest and most exclusive in France, just 15 km from Nice. On its limestone terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, it has cultivated for centuries the almost unique grape varieties planted by the Phocaean Greeks 2,500 years ago: Rolle, Braquet, and Folle Noire. Its wines—a crisp, mineral white, a floral rosé, and a light, fruity red—are served in the finest restaurants of the Riviera and remain unavailable in supermarkets.

Tasting in this panoramic setting, overlooking the sea and the Alps, is an unparalleled oenological and visual experience.

These three grape varieties are the direct descendants of the plants brought by the Phocaean Greeks — a 2,500-year-old viticultural heritage.

Absolutely. The panoramic and historical aspects (the vineyards of the Phocaeans, the village of Saint-Jeannet, the limestone Baou) are remarkable quite apart from the wine. Those who don't wish to taste the wine can still join the group and enjoy the scenery. It's also a magnificent tour for photographers—the golden light of late afternoon bathes the vineyards and the sea.
Yes. For total immersion in Bellet AOC, combine the Tour N°W1 Bellet Signature Experience (full day: Bellet Castle + Crémat Castle + High Hills) one day, and the Tour N°W8 Sunset Wine Experience another afternoon.
