Perched on the southern slopes of the Alpilles mountain range in the heart of Provence, sits the Château d’Estoublon. It is imbued with the heritage, and even some physical markers, of the Roman empire, which is the pride of the region. Halfway between Arles and Avignon, the Estoublon estate and its 18th century Chateau are nestled in this magnificent landscape, one that has inspired numerous painters and writers over the years. It is this rugged scenery that has been the backdrop to many of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous paintings. And in the midst of all this history is Château d’Estoublon, which has been a working estate since 1731, making olive oils and exceptional wines.

Designed as an exclusive country club, the Château d’Estoublon is now opening its doors to guests all day. Between visiting the estate, tasting the wines and olive oils, accessing the Château’s services and activities, and enjoying a lunch at the estate’s new restaurant – La Table d’Estoublon by Wim Van Gorp – there is much pleasure to be had. The “Rosé all day” experience offers visitors the chance to savour a wonderfully French summer’s day out, wandering amid the vines and sitting under the shade of the olive trees. The entire estate can be taken over privately, ensuring you become the master or mistress of this 18th century chateau and the several hundred hectares of land that surround it.
