Corporate Tours and Tastings at
Grand Cros
Twenty-four hectares of vines, 500 olive trees, and a cellar that has been producing award-winning rosé since 1989. Guided visits and tastings are available in English and French, by appointment. Come and see the estate as it really is.
What We Provide
What a Visit Involves
Every tour starts in the vineyard. You walk the restanques - the dry stone terraced walls that define the landscape of this part of Provence - and learn how the vines are managed through the seasons. The estate sits in the foothills of the Massif des Maures, surrounded by pine woodland and natural reserve. There is a reason the wines taste the way they do. The visit makes that clear.
From the vineyard, the tour moves into the cellar. You see where the wine is made, how the rosé is handled, and what distinguishes the estate's approach from more industrial production. The tasting follows. Wines are poured alongside context rather than commentary. You leave knowing what is in the glass and why.
Food pairing sessions go a step further. Dishes are chosen to bring out specific characteristics in the wine. It is a relaxed, guided experience - small groups, no rush, no tasting room formality.
A Living Estate
Le Grand Cros is not only a winery. Olive oil and vinegar are produced on site from 500 trees. The estate holds the Vignobles et Découvertes accreditation, France's national quality certification for wine tourism estates. Cultural events - including concerts and art viewings - are hosted here throughout the year, making the estate a destination in its own right rather than simply a place to taste wine.
For guests staying in the manor house, a visit to the cellar or an evening event is a natural part of the stay. For day visitors, the grounds themselves are worth the journey. The setting, the scale, and the quiet of the Var countryside are not things that can be replicated anywhere else.

The Var, at Its Quietest
Le Grand Cros sits within the Côtes de Provence appellation, at the edge of the Massif des Maures natural reserve. The surrounding landscape - pine forests, stone terraces, and open hillsides - forms the environment that shapes every wine made here. It is a part of Provence that moves at its own pace. The tours reflect that.
