The white tablecloth flutters gently, a small bouquet of lavender decorates the table, and behind the laughter you can discreetly hear the sound of glasses clinking, filled with a nectar straight from our surrounding vineyards.
Throughout the meal, one homemade dish follows another, grilled vegetables are sprinkled with thyme and rosemary, generously seasoned with olive oil and enhanced with our finest local products. For dessert, it is the Cavaillon melon, the juiciest and tastiest, that will be served to guests, who will enjoy every bite.
The art of dining in the Luberon is fully part of the art of living in our lovely corner of Provence. And to perfect the lunch and enjoy it to the fullest… go take a nap in the shade of the tall trees.

What would gastronomy and flavours of the Luberon be without mentioning its wines, which are among the finest expressions of the art of dining in the region? For the perfect food and wine pairing, let us explore the wines of the Luberon and Ventoux. Reds, rosés and whites: the Luberon offers every shade of wine.
As a region of wine excellence, the Luberon is proud to boast three protected designations of origin (PDO): Luberon, Ventoux and Pierrevert. These appellations highlight high-quality local expertise recognised within the European Union. We also have the controlled designation of origin (AOC) Luberon, recognised at national level.
Among the wines of the Rhône Valley, our crus are distinctive: they benefit from abundant sunshine combined with cooler night-time temperatures. As a result, the grapes ripen more slowly. This characteristic, combined with light, often sandy soils and a thousand-year-old wine-growing expertise, gives rise to unique wines.
Travel through the Luberon region, recognised as a biosphere reserve and geopark, through its wines on a wine tourism journey made of unique tasting experiences as well as original wine-themed activities.
