A generous vineyard on a master canvas

From the slopes of the Sainte-Victoire to the gateway to the Alpilles, the wine estates follow one another like brushstrokes on a living canvas. Take the road to the heart of the vineyards of the Pays d'Aix-en-Provence, in landscapes made eternal by Cezanne.

Rows of vines undulate under the Provençal sun. Surrounding them are elegant country houses and châteaux, offering guided tastings, cellar tours, refined dining, and memorable experiences in the heart of the vineyards or under the stars. With the promise of... a unique blend of culture, art of living and good wines.

A journey to the heart of the region

The cellars of the Pays d'Aix, often nestled in elegant country houses or castles steeped in history, extend over a hilly landscape dominated by the majestic Sainte-VictoireCenturies-old family estates rub shoulders with young, passionate winegrowers, united by the desire to enhance local grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault and Vermentino.

Among the Provence wines to discover here, head towards the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, the AOP Côtes de Provence, and the AOP Côtes de Provence cru Sainte-Victoire.
