Wine growing at Fontenille dates from the early 17th century. More recently they began restructuring the Domaine in 2013 with the aim of restoring the Domaine to its original size: 85 acres of vines in one geographical area around the Domaine. Since 2014, the domaine has been undergoing conversion to organic standards and benefits from the latest wine making techniques in a new wine cellar with traditional architecture. The domaine produces Provence Red, White and Rosé AOP Luberon wines – the reds being from a blend of Syrah and Grenache.
The hotel also offers wine-tasting courses by a professional, to help you discover the different steps of wine tasting for beginners and non-specialists. For 6 people or more. Upon reservation. You can also visit the domaine’s own wine cellar followed by a wine tasting of different vintages. More on Provence Wines
