Luxury relais and chateaux

You want to know more about traditional grape harvesting methods? At Château de Berne, a luxury Relais and Châteaux Hotel, in Provence, they are still the norm!

... As in many wineries around! The southern part of France is famed for its exceptional fine wines and the perfect choice for a luxury hotel and resort in Provence, bordered by vineyards, producing Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs valued all over the world. That said, our luxury Relais and Châteaux Hotel leaves the much-publicised tourist trail behind and invites you to take a luxury French wine tour to find out about the hidden French Riviera of sleepy Provençal villages, restored farmhouses, lavender fields and the Verdon Canyon.

Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Catalans, Moors, hippies and intellectuals have all settled on the French Riviera and left influences still visible and celebrated today!

Exuding a thriving artistic heritage, the region blossoms during springtime where you will discover the quieter side of the province and eyewitness artisans at work. Departing from our luxury Relais and Châteaux Hotel, a Provence wine tour is the opportunity to observe that some wineries still have their own master coopers on site to craft the barrels for the wines. Barrel making is actually captivating to watch, notably in the final stage when the cooper seals the wood over the fire!
