If you’re a wine lover, this is a must. The region is world-renowned for its vineyards. It’s from here we had our first memorable bottle as a couple - dare we say fate? We tried bunch of different vineyards in the area, here are our favorites:

• Chateau La Nerthe - excellent, $$, gorgeous vineyards and views

• Domaine Galévan - great, $, cute local vineyard

Les Baux-de-Provence
