Château La Coste – The Art of Wine & Architecture
Morning: Château La Coste – The Art of Wine & Architecture
Your day begins with a private pickup from your accommodation in Provence. Drive through the rolling countryside to Château La Coste, an exceptional wine estate near Aix-en-Provence, where contemporary art, sustainable winemaking, and world-class architecture come together in perfect harmony.

Late Morning to Early Afternoon: Lavender Fields of the Luberon – A Natural Spectacle
During late June through July, Provence bursts into a sea of vivid purple lavender fields, creating one of the most breathtaking sights in France. You will enjoy a scenic drive through the most picturesque lavender fields in the Luberon Valley. There will be photo stops at iconic viewpoints such as the hilltop villages of Bonnieux or Saignon, offering panoramic views over endless lavender landscapes. You will also visit a traditional lavender distillery, where you’ll learn about the process of extracting essential oils and experience the delicate, fragrant products that define Provence.
Outside the lavender season, the experience continues with a visit to a historic hilltop village such as Gordes or Roussillon, renowned for their stunning ochre cliffs and medieval charm.
Midday: Gourmet Lunch in an Idyllic Provençal Setting
Enjoy a gourmet Provençal lunch in an exquisite estate setting, surrounded by vineyards and lavender fields. Recommended options include a reservation at Domaine de la Citadelle’s fine terrace, offering elegant local cuisine paired with wines from the estate. Lunch is not included in the tour price but will be coordinated to suit your preferences.
Afternoon: Domaine de la Citadelle – Organic Excellence in Ménerbes
End your day with a prestigious tasting at Domaine de la Citadelle, a leading organic estate at the foot of Ménerbes.
