Our journey today takes us to a slice of France in the Mediterranean. Though it has been part of France since 1769, Corsica maintains a distinct identity, blending Italian and French influences due to its historical ties with both nations. Known for its rugged landscapes, winding roads and craggy coves, Corsica’s 340,000 inhabitants have a strong sense of regional pride, tested annually by an influx of three million tourists. The island’s status as a territorial collectivity grants it greater autonomy within the French Republic, allowing for the preservation of its Corsican language and customs. This blend of French governance and Corsican heritage creates a rich, multifaceted culture that sets the island apart from mainland France. Our ‘Your Choice’ experiences fill our morning, with time this afternoon to enjoy the town of Bastia on your own, before we sail for the French mainland in the early evening. Founded in 1378 by the Genoese, Bastia blends French and Italian influences, making it a quintessentially Corsican town. Its Baroque historic centre captures the essence of an ancient Mediterranean port. The name "Bastia" comes from "bastion," referencing the Genoese fortress built to guard against islanders. Explore the Terra Vecchia (Old Town) on foot, starting at the palm-filled Place St-Nicolas, which flanks both the port and the lively Boulevard Général-de-Gaulle. The vibrant colours of the old town’s houses once served as landmarks for returning sailors and continue to brighten the town today. Personalise your exploration with our included ‘Your Choice’ experiences. Option 1 - Morning experience: Cap Corse West Coast Discovery Embark on a breathtaking journey through the west side of Cap Corse, discovering the island’s wild beauty and coastal charm. From Bastia, travel across the spectacular Teghime Pass, enjoy free time in Nonza, the hidden gem of Cap Corse, and take in the scenic Patrimonio wine region. Conclude your adventure with a delightful visit to Saint-Florent, before returning via the Teghime Pass — this time from a different angle — for even more stunning views of Corsica’s contrasting coasts. ( Note: This excursion involves many winding roads, which may not be suitable for those prone to car sickness or vertigo.) Option 2 - Morning experience: Wine Tasting in the Patrimonio Experience the charm of Corsica’s Patrimonio wine region, renowned for its unique terroir. Located in the northwest corner of the island, Patrimonio’s rugged, scrub-covered landscape features soils distinct from the rest of Corsica, enriched by chalky clay and limestone. The region benefits from a wide temperature range between day and night and is influenced by the cooling sea winds from the Ligurian Sea. Patrimonio, one of France’s pioneering organic viticulture regions, was granted AOC status in 1968, making it the island’s oldest appellation. On this tour, you’ll explore a local winery and gain insight into the winemaking process. Learn about the main grape variety, Nieluccio, along with Sangiovese, Grenache, and Sciaccarello for reds and rosés, and Vermentino for whites. Enjoy a guided tour of the vineyards and cellars, followed by a tasting session of the region’s exceptional wines. Discover the historical roots of Corsican winemaking and savour the distinctive flavours crafted by dedicated winemakers who uphold traditional practices and organic cultivation. Option 3 - Afternoon experience: The Living Heritage Company - LN Mattei Distillery Discover the LN Mattei Distillery, a Corsican heritage landmark since 1872. Founded by Louis Napoléon Mattei, it’s renowned for Le Cap Corse Mattei, an aperitif blending quinquina wine with local fruits like citron and myrtle. Mattei’s vision to highlight Corsican produce continues with a diverse range of spirits, including Cap Corse Mattei Grande Réserve, Eaux de Vie, and new liqueurs. In 2021, the distillery introduced two distinctive gins: LN Mattei Distilled Dry Gin, which won a Gold Medal at the 2022 Concours Général Agricole, and L'Immortel Gin. Located on Domaine Mavela, the distillery’s traditional methods and seasonal rhythms are showcased through the meticulous hand-picking of fruits, careful ingredient preparation, and the creation of “mistelle” from Corsican grapes. A tour of the LN Mattei Distillery highlights its artisanal expertise and commitment to quality. Finish your visit with a tasting of their exceptional spirits, reflecting the craftsmanship that has earned the distillery the title of ‘Living Heritage Company.’
