La Royère, located in the picturesque Luberon region of Oppède, is a family-owned winery established by Jean-Pierre and Anne Hugues in 1988. This winery is renowned for producing high-quality wines using native Rhône Valley grapes. Their dedication to excellence has earned them numerous accolades, including recognition at the Orange Wines competition and the Concours Général Agricole de Paris. La Royère specializes in Luberon PDO and IGP Vaucluse wines, offering a delightful selection of red, rosé, and white wines, as well as exquisite olive oil crafted in Provence.
Since 2017, La Royère has been transitioning to organic farming methods for both its olive groves and vineyards. This commitment enhances the quality of their crops, allowing them to produce a unique natural sweet wine from the muscatel grapevine. The winery also creates artisanal spirits using a traditional copper still. Spanning 30 hectares, the vineyards benefit from an ideal terroir, with Grenache Noir and Syrah as the primary grapes, complemented by Carignan, Mourvèdre, Viognier, Vermentino, and Merlot.
La Royère focuses on low grape yields, which results in small batches of wine that boast exceptional flavor and vibrant acidity. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully vinified in a modern cellar, renovated in 2014, equipped with state-of-the-art technology for optimal wine production and aging. In 2019, the winery expanded its facilities by constructing a mill and a museum dedicated to the history of olive oil in the region, enriching the visitor experience.

Write a reviewBeautiful place, self-explanatory museum, well designed in its simplicity. The oils we were offered are of very high quality (let's be honest, we are not professionals so I don't have the relevant jargon); we were also delighted with the wine. Worth the detour.

Visit on Saturday 11 May afternoon with family with 2 dogs. Excellent. Great welcome, complete museum and not too big. Just the right size. Oil and brandy tastings. The knowledge, courtesy and kindness of the young person who welcomed us made the visit even more beautiful.

A very nice discovery. The welcome is remarkable, the wine tasting at the top. Despite the crowds in the shop, the winemaker takes the time to share his passion and love for wine with us. The entire wine offer is balanced. A great masterpiece. Well done. The prices are quite reasonable considering the quality.

Very good winery. The wines - organic - are excellent, balanced, very well made and very reasonably priced. Very interesting, pleasant and very well done olive oil museum. Also a very nice shop and friendly, smiling and competent staff. In short, an address that is definitely worth visiting.

No visit to the Luberon Valley is complete without a visit to La Royere. We always stock up the wonderful olive oil and wine while we visit the area. Christian could not be more helpful and the modern showroom is full of tasteful kitchen equipment and gifts. Make the time to visit - you won’t regret it.
