Accompany us on a culinary expedition to Provence, a region close to the heart of our CEO, who is from the area. Our guests will become immersed in Provence’s food, wine, culture, history, and wilderness, with a carefully selected combination of tours and activities.
Experience the finest, most colorful markets in Provence, along with the renowned wine regions of Gigondas, Châteauneuf du Pape, and Cassis. Our adventure includes a trip to the exquisitely scented lavender fields, where the images you capture will serve as poignant memories.
Discover the coastline of Provence and the vibrant villages and towns. Accommodation on our estate includes a private suite, where you can expect blissful serenity and attentive service.
As picturesque as a Van Gogh or Matisse painting, the lavender and sunflower fields create vibrant landscapes and a bouquet of scents. Enjoy olives and truffles, alongside the crystal waters, a tranquil assault of the senses. Of course, the vibrant fields of lavender which Provence is famous for, are best enjoyed when they are blooming - from June, hence the departure date of this journey.
History-rich Provence is home to numerous medieval bridges and abbeys. The Pope’s Palace in Avignon, a miniature Champs Elysées is alive with restaurants, and the shops in Aix en Provence will certainly delight you.
Accompany our executive chef and Provence-born CEO on an alluring experience. Stroll through the local markets, partake in cooking classes, and relish traditional dinners at our villa. Culinary treasures, such as bouillabaisse, boeuf en daube (infused with local herbs and spices) are on the menu. Marvel and imbibe in the plentiful wine varietals, paired with the robust flavors of Provence.
Make yourself comfortable in our luxury home, where you can unpack, and relax for the week. Take a lazy swim in the pool overlooking a scenic valley, and indulge in the meals prepared by our world-class chef whilst watching the sunset.

Have your cameras primed to capture the beauty of purple filled fields, and a lavender-inspired dinner will be served on the estate.
Mid-morning, we travel to the old capital of Provence, Aix en Provence, to meander through the labyrinth of markets. Hometown of our CEO, the town is famous for its fountains and art. After lunch, we head out to Cassis, a seaside location known for its cliffs and clear blue water canyons. This evening, Chef Fonzo prepares dinner paired with local wines.
Relax during your last morning on the property, and come the afternoon, we will depart for Les Baux de Provence and St Remy de Provence.
