Festival weekend planner
Fête du Rosé de Provence — a 3-day weekend in Provence
10–12 July. Vidauban, France. 40 min from the airport.
The weekend, day by day
- Day 1
Arrive in Vidauban
Land at Toulon-Hyères (TLN), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.
- Day 2
Fête du Rosé de Provence
Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The Maison des Vins de la Sainte-Victoire in Vidauban is open year-round for Provence rosé tasting — the festival is an extension of what's available daily but with producer presence.

Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
