Château de Berne: Provence’s Quintessential Escape into Wine, Nature & Timeless Luxury

Tucked away in the sun-drenched hills of Provence, Château de Berne is more than a destination — it’s a world unto itself. Surrounded by 1,235 acres of vineyards, olive groves, and forest, this Relais & Châteaux estate embodies the effortless elegance and sensory magic that Provence is famous for. From the moment you arrive, winding through its tree-lined drive, time seems to slow — and life becomes a little more beautiful.

A Sanctuary in the Heart of Provence

Located near the charming village of Lorgues, Château de Berne offers a serene and cinematic backdrop: pale stone walls, terracotta roofs, lavender in bloom, and olive groves stretching to the horizon. It’s Provence at its most enchanting — golden light, endless blue skies, and a sense of quiet luxury that feels both intimate and expansive.

The Wine: Rosé at Its Finest

The estate is celebrated for its elegant organic wines, especially its structured and luminous Côtes de Provence rosés. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and limestone terroir, producing wines that are fresh, balanced, and deeply expressive of the land. Guests can enjoy guided tastings in the cellar, stroll through the vines, or simply savor a glass of rosé beneath the shade of ancient oaks.

A 5-Star Provencal Playground

Château de Berne is not just a winery — it’s a 5-star luxury resort with a rare blend of sophistication and natural beauty. Alongside elegant rooms and private villas, the estate features:

• Lavender fields that bloom in vibrant purple waves, perfuming the air and creating postcard-perfect scenery.

• An organic farm and vegetable gardens, which supply the estate’s Michelin-starred kitchens with the freshest produce.

• Tennis courts, walking and cycling trails, and outdoor experiences for guests who want to stay active while immersed in nature.

• A serene spa and wellness centre, perfect for deep relaxation between winery visits.

• A shimmering infinity pool with panoramic vineyard views — ideal for a rosé-soaked afternoon.

It’s a place designed for slow mornings, golden afternoons, and starlit evenings.

Michelin-Starred Dining, Sustainability & Awards

At the heart of the estate’s culinary experience is its Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Jardin de Berne, where ingredients from the estate’s own gardens are transformed into refined, seasonal dishes that celebrate the flavours of the South of France. The estate also holds the distinction of receiving the Green Michelin Star, highlighting its leadership in sustainable gastronomy.These accolades serve to underline not just the beauty and luxury of the estate, but its leadership in gastronomy, sustainability, and immersive wine tourism.
