Wine tour in Toulon with 18 year old

[steph7021]

We'd like to take a wine tour in Toulon. My 18 year old daughter will be with us who will have graduated highschool. 18 is legal, right? Will the tour operators allow this? No flames please :)

Yes it is legal, and I cannot imagine that you will have an issue with a company allowing it.

 

DD16 is ALWAYS offered wine/champagne whenever we stop at vineyards in France and has been for the past 4 years.

if you want a recommendation we used provencewinetours last year from Toulon which included 3 wineries and a visit to Cassis

 

18 in most of Europe is a full legal adult able to drink all alcohol including spirits if they offer the firewater at the tasting places!

Great! Provence wine tours was the one i was looking at with the trip to Cassis!

Agree. It is legal at 18 and younger children would never be excluded from visiting wineries. And offered samples too ... It is not a big deal in France.

 

I just checked your tour website. It sounds like a fun day and a very good way to visit Bandol and Cassis if you do not want to drive yourselves.

it s legal but we have problems whith youth wich drinkd too much in france so even for foreigners they can ask you a proof of her age :)

Legal and perfectly normal in Italy, France and Greece. My daughter signed the form and my Grandson was allowed to have wine and beer on the cruise ship (Royal Caribbean), as it leaves from a European port. He looked like a deer in the headlights on our first night pre-cruise, in (Rome) when we ordered wine and the waiter automatically sat a glass in front of him and filled it...lol. It's odd to Europeans that we have a law that doesn't allow it, so they don't even look twice. We're planning a wine tour in France this coming June during our cruise too. Sounds wonderful.

Hmmm, I don't know if NCL has this form but I would sign it for wine at dinner....however, we are also taking my DD friend and I'm not sure how that would work? But, looking forward to the ports!

Not everywhere in Europe has relaxed drinking laws. Here in the UK you have to be 18 to drink and buy alcohol. However, in Spain, France and Italy it is acceptable for younger people to drink a glass of wine with their meal.
