Intensive Wine Course in Provence - The Setting

With 30ha of vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery, this boutique wine estate lies at the heart of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the foothills of Mont Ventoux.

Having recognised its uniquely privileged micro-climate and location when they bought the estate in 1993, La Verrière’s owners, Nicole and Xavier Rolet, embarked upon an ambitious program of restructuring the 40-year-old vineyards and introducing exacting qualitative and biodynamic practices. They will launch their couture Chêne Bleu wines this spring.

At the heart of the estate lie a historic medieval Priory and an 18th-century Bastide, which have been painstakingly and lovingly restored in rustic luxury style, preserving the buildings’ architectural harmony and historical authenticity, while adding 21st-century standards of comfort.

The Priory offers seven large and tastefully decorated guest rooms (of which four are suites), while the Bastide epitomises simple rustic chic.

With the restoration of La Verrière complete, Xavier and Nicole have now opened the doors of their home for select programmes, guided by the motto ‘Non Mihi, Non Tibi, Sed Nobis – Not Mine, Not Yours , But Ours” – the Roman way of expressing the greater value and meaning of things shared.www.laverriere.com

Limited to a maximum of 10 participants, the Extreme Wine group will have exclusive use of the whole property.
