A Wine Lovers Guide to St Tropez
When you think of St Tropez you don’t immediately think vineyards. Designer shops, celebrities and Pampelonne Beach perhaps but not vineyards.
Yes, Provence is famous for its pale pink rosè but St Tropez specifically doesn’t spring to mind the way that Boudreaux, Champagne and St.Emillion does.
But ellas, this famous harbour town has some of the finest wine producers in the country ~ including my personal favourite, Minuty.
More on them later…
Getting here
The vinyards are only accessible by car unless you are on a guided tour. Most of the vinyards are in pretty rural locations but conveniently, very close together!
St Tropez is a holiday destination within its self. So if your lucky enough to be holidaying here. Grab a car (and designated driver!) and get on the road. For everyone else, St Tropez is approximately 70 minutes from Antibes by car. This is in the off - peak and shoulder seasons. It can take HOURS to get here in peak season so keep that in mind! You can also take the train to the nearby town of St Maxime and pick up a car from here.
