Shared Tour – Wine tour from Saint Tropez
Best for: Travelers who prefer a social half-day focused on wine and a driver-guide.

A local driver-guide takes the group to two wine estates, where the listing confirms tastings of three wines per person at each estate, for six wines total. Transportation is by air-conditioned van, and the experience is designed as a small-group outing rather than a private one. It suits travelers who want a set itinerary, guided context, and a compact half-day plan without arranging transport themselves. Private transportation is excluded.

How to choose your St-Tropez itinerary style
For a scenic outing with time on the water, the private boat tour gives you the widest coastal feel. For a tasting-focused plan, the shared wine tour is the clearest half-day choice, while the private walking tour suits travelers who want a short, guided introduction to the town itself.
Bay cruise with optional longer coastal route
Choose the shorter version for a sea-focused overview or the longer version for a fuller coastal outing with swimming time.
Vineyard visits in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
Best for travelers who want a guided tasting circuit with included vehicle transport and a clear small-group structure.
Walking tour through the port and old town
Choose this if you want a private, flexible introduction to St-Tropez’s streets and public spaces without leaving town.
