The Wines of the Luberon - Château La Canorgue & La Verrerie & the Château de Lourmarin & Bastide du Laval private tour
Wines and Olive Oil Private Tour
This is an exceptional day's experience if you enjoy fine food and excellent wines. This is the 'bon viveur' tour of the very best of Provence designed for those people who enjoy eating and living well! We begin with a visit to the exceptionally beautiful winery - Château La Verrerie, near to Lauris, then onto Bastide du Laval, one of the most exclusive olive oil producers in the region, a short culture break in Lourmarin; time for some shopping and a visit to the castle and finally onwards to Bonnieux and the vineyards of Château la Canorgue. Château La Verrerie sits between the Rhône and Provence. The estate covers forty eight hectares and produces around 250k 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. Located between the lower Rhône valley and the coast of Provence, this is a young appellation producing some excellent wines.Château la Canorgue, a family-owned estate. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the successive generations it has remained in the family for more than 200 years. In the 1970s, Jean-Pierre Margan, a pioneer in organic farming started tending to the vineyard located on an exceptional terroir and began producing high quality wines of character. He has passed on his passion and experience to his daughter, Nathalie, who now represents the 5th generation of winegrowers.
