Clos Sainte-Magdeleine Excursion (Cassis)

Several of our WGS courses combined for an excursion to a vineyard-winery in Cassis, one of the oldest and most famous of wine-making regions in France. We were allowed an exclusive experience in which students toured the property: seeing everything from the fields of vines to the room where the 2025 vintage was in the process of being made. The experience ended with a comprehensive tasting of several wines.
