Provence & Winery Sensations — Small Group Tour

  • Provençal Scenes & Winery Sensations
Enjoy wine tasting and lunch in the Domaine la Font des Peres, with free time in a nearby town.
Located in the heart of Provence, this local vineyard offers breathtaking views of the valley and the Sainte-Baume massif. Enjoy a meal on the estate, whose products of the farm are the stars in the kitchen (fruits, vegetables, olives, herbs from the garden), and where an on-site chef creates the meal that will be served with local blends. After your lunch, take a scenic drive over to Sanary-sur-Mer, to explore on your own.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
