Food and Wine | Mappeapt5

Lorgues, our nearest town, has gorgeous cafés and bars to sit in, as well as some great restaurants. There is a guide to the restaurants here.

Local vineyards abound. The chateau looks out over Le Domaine de Mapliers, which went organic in 2015 and produces a rose so coveted that you will find it hard to buy a bottle. Many others have their own caves where wine is sold across the counter, and you can taste first. There is a good list here. Chateau de Berne is beautiful to visit, and has concerts with picnics in the summer months. Domaine Estello is beautiful - just before Lorgues - with 25 acres devoted to certified AOP organic Côtes de Provence. The rosé from Château Les Crostes is also excellent. You can pick up a bottle, or a box, of La RoseTremière, on you way back from Lorgues.

The restaurants in the area that we have heard good things about, even when we haven't visited them ourselves are:
