01. Château de Berne
Lorgues, Provence
5 Star // 34 Rooms
Why we love this hotel
Château de Berne captures the quiet, sunlit spirit of inland Provence. Set within forests, olive groves and a vast organic vineyard, it is one of the wine hotels France offers where nature and refinement feel fully aligned. Rooms open to vineyard light, gardens are scented with herbs and pine, and the estate’s long driveway sets an immediate tone of calm. The castle, spa and slow rhythms of the land create a stay that feels rooted and restorative, shaped by the landscape rather than luxury for its own sake.
Wine and food at Château de Berne
Food here is deeply connected to the estate’s soil. Le Jardin de Berne, the Michelin starred and green starred restaurant, cooks with precision and restraint, using vegetables from the château’s gardens, fruit from the orchards and oils pressed from its four thousand olive trees. Wines come from 150 hectares of organic vines, each cuvée shaped by altitude, limestone and the cool nights of the Haut Pays. Tastings, vineyard dinners and chef led experiences offer an honest, place driven expression of Provence through both glass and plate.

Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux

Bordeaux heritage, quietly alive.
04. La Bastide de Marie
Ménerbes, Provence, France
5 Star // 14 Rooms
Why we love this hotel
La Bastide de Marie feels like staying in a lived in farmhouse rather than a formal hotel, wrapped in vineyards, lavender and low stone walls in the Luberon hills. You arrive along a cypress lined drive to honey coloured buildings filled with antique furniture, lime washed walls and shaded terraces where days fall into an easy rhythm. With only fourteen rooms, everything feels intimate and unhurried, making this one of the most soulful wine hotels France keeps tucked between its hills.
Wine and food at La Bastide de Marie
Here, the vineyard is not a backdrop but part of daily life. Domaine de Marie surrounds the bastide with 26 hectares of vines, producing characterful Luberon whites, rosés and reds that you can taste in the cellar or with dinner under the lime tree. In the kitchen, the chef cooks straight from the estate farm and potager, with vegetables, orchard fruit, olive oil and honey all coming from the land around you. Plates feel simple, seasonal and deeply rooted in Provence.
Where vineyard life feels like home
05. Village Castigno – Wine Hotel & Resort
Assignan, Occitanie
4 Star // 21 Rooms
Why we love this hotel
Counted among the most characterful wine hotels France has to offer, Village Castigno feels like stepping into a living, breathing wine country village rather than a traditional resort. Rooms are scattered through brightly painted houses, each one part of the rhythm of Assignan. With no screens or digital noise, you tune into simpler patterns: footsteps on cobbled lanes, vines shifting in the breeze, the warmth of a place shaped by slow craftsmanship. Castigno invites you to stay lightly and live fully, surrounded by vineyards that define its identity.

The estate’s 30 hectares of organically farmed vines set the tone for everything here. Wine is not an amenity but a landscape, a culture and a craft you feel close to, from cellar tours overlooking the Saint-Chinian hills to tastings built around expressive whites, earthy reds and old-vine blends. In the village, four restaurants reflect this generosity: a Michelin-trained kitchen, a lively bistro, a Thai table and a microbrewery. Meals are grounded in produce, place and personality, with each glass echoing the land just beyond the doors.
A village shaped by wine
06. Château du Tertre
Margaux, Bordeaux
5 Star // 5 Rooms
Why we love this hotel
Château du Tertre feels like stepping into the quiet heart of Margaux, where centuries of winemaking shape the landscape and the pace of life. Among wine hotels France is known for, this one stands apart for its intimacy. Only a handful of rooms, all designed by Axel Vervoordt, look directly over the estate’s vines and carry his unmistakable calm. Mornings begin in silence, the light settling across the gravel hilltops, and the house’s warmth makes it easy to slow down. It is a peaceful retreat woven into one of Bordeaux’s most historic terroirs.
Wine and food at Château du Tertre
Staying at Château du Tertre means staying inside an actively farmed Grand Cru Classé estate where wine is central to daily life. Every guest stay includes a tour and tasting of the château’s Margaux wines, from the structured Cabernet-driven Grand Vin to the expressive Les Hauts du Tertre. Biodynamic farming guides the vineyard, and each grape variety is allowed to express the nuances of the gravel ridges and clay pockets beneath. There is no on-site restaurant, but the estate’s tastings offer a deep, unhurried way to understand this land through its wines.
Margaux quiet, beautifully distilled.
07. Domaine de Fontenille
Lauris, Luberon, France
5 Star // 21 Rooms
Why we love this hotel
Domaine de Fontenille feels like a lived-in family estate rather than a staged escape. A 17th century bastide set in organic vineyards and a 10 hectare park, it balances design and ease: floral wallpapers, linen, wood, ceramics and light everywhere. Among wine hotels France does so well, this one leans quietly into landscape and daily rhythm. You wake to cicadas, walk straight into the gardens and vines, and end the day with a glass of their own Luberon wine under the trees.
Wine and food at Domaine de Fontenille
This is very much a working vineyard, with Fontenille’s organic AOP Luberon wines shaping the pace of the day. Tastings in the cellar, vineyard walks and blending workshops give real insight into the terroir, from mineral whites to generous rosés and structured reds. At La Cuisine d’Amélie, the kitchen cooks close to the land, using produce from the permaculture garden and nearby farms. Plates are clean, seasonal and quietly confident, made to sit comfortably alongside the estate’s cuvées rather than outshine them.
Wine, gardens and easy Provencal calm
