The morning opens in Aix-en-Provence, inviting you to discover one of Provence’s most emblematic cities, known for its elegant architecture and lively squares. From the tree-lined Cours Mirabeau to the charming old town streets and historic fountains, the city reveals its timeless character. A visit can be complemented by a stroll through one of its traditional Provençal markets. Several markets take place depending on the day, including flowers, textiles, and antiques, while the farmers’ market is held daily. The colorful stalls and friendly exchanges capture the authentic spirit of Provence.
By midday, the journey continues into the surrounding countryside, where vineyards stretch across gentle hills beneath the Mediterranean light. Visitors may choose to enjoy lunch at Château La Coste, an estate known for its refined yet understated ambiance. The cuisine highlights seasonal ingredients, and dishes can be paired with wines produced on the property.
In the afternoon, a guided tasting introduces distinctive cuvées while explaining grape varieties and winemaking techniques. You discover how climate, soil, and craftsmanship shape each bottle, balancing tradition with modern precision.
To conclude the day, explore the estate’s Art & Architecture trail, either independently at your own pace or with a guide. Sculptures and installations appear among vines and olive trees, creating a dialogue between art and nature, and leaving a lasting impression of Provençal creativity.
