Tour itinerary
This is an exceptional day's experience if you enjoy good food and excellent wines. Discover the wines of the Luberon whilst savouring the tastes of local olive oil. We begin with a visit to the exceptionally beautiful winery - Château La Verrerie, located in the heart of the Luberon landscape, a beautiful setting dominated by vines, olive trees, and lavender. Then on to Bastide du Laval, one of the most exclusive olive oil producers in the region, with tastings. Followed by a short culture break in Lourmarin; time for some shopping and a visit to the castle and then onwards to Bonnieux and the vineyards of Château La Canorgue. Château La Verrerie sits between the Rhône and Provence. The estate covers 48 hectares and produces around 250,000 bottles each year. Jean-Louis Descours was originally looking for a holiday residence. It was not until 1988 that the appellation cote-du-lubéron was created, of which La Verrerie is one of the best. Château la Canorgue, a family-owned estate. Thanks to the dedication of successive generations it has remained in the family for more than 200 years. In the 1970s, Jean-Pierre Margan, a pioneer in organic farming began producing high quality wines of character. He's passed on his passion to his daughter Nathalie, who now represents the 5th generation of winegrowers.
