Bandol is a wine region in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d`Azur region of France, located half way between Toulon and Cassis. It gives its name to a local appellation producing red Mourvedre-based wines, aged roses and some white wines. Perhaps the best known domaine is Domaine Tempier which has long been featured at leading restaurants in the United States.
Bandol is also an authentic seaside resort with many sand beaches, cliffs, inlets, and creeks surrounded by hills of pines and willow. Its magnificent crystal clear water makes it a popular spot amongst scuba divers. Its marina accommodates more than 1,500 boats, including yachts, sailing ships, tuna boats and trawlers.
