The Winery on Top of the Hill

Domaine de La Font des Pères is nestled in Beausset, a picturesque area in the renowned Provence region. The winery boasts two hundred terraced steps that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. Just five kilometers away, the stunning Mediterranean coast enhances the winery's dry, sunny, and windy climate, which plays a crucial role in the exceptional quality of its wines.

Wines of Domaine de La Font des Pères

The unique elevation of the vineyard allows the vines to benefit from a perfect balance of cool winds and warm sunshine. This climate encourages the roots of the red wine grapes to dig deep into the soil, while the lower plots provide ideal conditions for producing exquisite rosés and whites. The winery is particularly known for its Bandol wines, crafted primarily from Mourvèdre grapes, which account for half of the estate's production. These red wines are complemented by 10% Grenache, resulting in a rich flavor profile. Mourvèdre, a late-ripening grape, contributes remarkable aromas and excellent aging potential to the wines of Domaine de La Font des Pères.

Wine Tasting and Overnight Stays in a Picturesque Setting

Caroline and Philippe Chauvin, the dedicated owners of the estate, are passionate about both winemaking and wine tourism. The winery is situated on a steep terrace above the cellar, providing stunning views of the surrounding hills. Visitors can enjoy a memorable wine tasting experience or choose to stay overnight in the estate's charming guest rooms and villas, all while soaking in the beauty of Provence.

A superior experience! Amazing location, We had a wine tasting tour (12€ per person, definitely worth it) and had a great time learning about the wine making process, and of course tasting the great wines of the place. Our guide was very nice, we had lots of fun!

What a sublime experience, the room, the food, the breakfast and the Spa, everything was perfect. A warm welcome when we arrived, thank you Mr. Crama, the room very clean and quality bedding. Impeccable service in the restaurant with farm products and refined, tasty and fresh dishes. The breakfast is also wonderful. And to close the lovely spa, magnificent service and facilities for a 60-minute duo massage... Wow 🤩 What can I say, we will be back! I highly recommend you.

Relaxed welcome and peaceful surroundings with a magnificent view. Comfortable room on the ground floor, in an authentic and unpretentious agritourism setting. The only point for improvement: a more thoughtful and plated breakfast in a quieter environment would be better.

We ate at the restaurant on the estate. A delight from the appetizer to the dessert! Even the bread is delicious... There is no children's menu, but the chef prepared 2 dishes perfectly adapted to our children and was even entitled to a thank you drawing from one of them... as was the waiter who was adorable throughout! Go there with your eyes closed!

This was our first time visiting the French Riviera, we stayed in Nice and on the way to Vienna flying out of Marseille we wanted to find a nice winery that we can spend a couple of hours and enjoy local wine and food, after a couple of hours of googling and reading reviews we chose Domaine de la Font Des Peres because of its views. We arrived and our expectations for the views were exceeded, we had no reservations and the host had no problem sitting us, we asked for the best local white wine, appetizers and a main course. The appetizers were amazing, the wine was phenomenal and the bread was to die for, we have tasted white wines at wineries in Italy, USA Napa Valley, Australia, Austria, Greece, North Macedonia and always asking for their best white and without a doubt this was the best white wine we have ever tasted. The desert we had was out of this world and the service was excellent. I don’t remember the name of the wine but I have some photos and the host can add if he remembers us we visited there on September 18th and we couldn’t leave a tip because my wife didn’t ask for the tip to be added to the check. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely come back and bring friends and family.
