About this tour
A six-hour guided loop from Bastia around Cap Corse's northern tip, combining a working vineyard with lunch and a coastal fishing village. Travel the winding panoramic road in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a local guide, stopping to explore wine production at a family estate and the harborside settlement of Erbalunga. The route reveals both the region's agricultural heritage and its maritime character, with views across the Mediterranean at each bend.
Highlights
- Scenic coastal drive with Mediterranean vistas throughout
- Family winery visit including cellar and vineyard 4x4 tour
- Three-course lunch paired with estate wines at the vineyard
- Erbalunga's colourful waterfront houses and Genoese watchtower
- Private transport and certified local guide included
What to expect
Expect a relaxed pace punctuated by stops. The morning focuses on the vineyard: a walk through production areas, a short off-road excursion through the planted slopes, then lunch overlooking the coast with Corsican charcuterie, cheese and local fish. Afternoon takes you to Erbalunga, where narrow lanes connect pastel-painted fishermen's homes clustered around the small port and its crumbling tower. The guide contextualises both stops with regional history and wine-making insight. Roads are well-maintained but winding; sit back and absorb the landscape rather than expecting activity.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for vineyard and village exploration. Bring sunscreen and water despite shaded transport. Under-18s receive soft drinks instead of wine at lunch. Private vehicle means flexible pacing but confirm pickup location with your operator beforehand.
