In the heart of this authentic Provençale setting, there are vineyards to experience full of charm and beautiful architecture. This is home of rosé wines of style and delicacy, reds that are powerful yet of great finesse, and white wines with their delicate floral and fruit aromas.

1. 1

   Chateau Paradis

   1.5 hours

   In an exceptional setting, between the Sainte Victoire mountain and the Luberon, the Château Paradis vineyards stretch over 80 hectares in the heart of Provence, at the extreme north of the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, in the commune of Puy-Sainte-Réparade. The estate boasts an exceptional range of terroirs that the various owners have been able to bring out over the years. Since 2011, Xavier and Odile Thieblin, who are attached to their Provençal roots, have been determined to add value to the estate and to strive for excellence.

2. 2

   Chateau la Verrerie

   1.5 hours

   On the borders of the Luberon regional natural park, Château la Verrerie is located. A few kilometers from Lourmarin, one of the most beautiful villages in France. To the north, the Côtes du Rhône wines, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape; to the south, those of the Côtes de Provence. On the edge, this terroir of the Luberon massif. A geographical situation apart that expresses the wines of the domain, in red, white and rosé. So many vintages, reflections of our soils.

3. 3

   Chateau de Sannes

   1.5 hours

   An air of timelessness permeates the shade cast by the Sannes plane trees. The air’s blue gaze tempts you along the honey-coloured drive leading to the chateau. The old mill drinks the gentle wind above the green strokes of vineyards painted on the Luberon landscape. The sunshine beats down on summer’s red cherries embraced by lavender’s mauve fragrance.
