The Experience

Oenophiles will flock here for the cru classé of Provence, history lovers will adore the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa, and nature lovers can wander over the grounds with its well-kept lawns, ancient trees and much birdsong. Take breakfast in the dining room, or out in the garden on sunny days: fresh croissants and bread, butter, eggs, cereal, jams and cheeses – very French! Enjoy a tour of the permanent wine and spirit museum (they make their own whisky too) or visit other wine estates in the area.

Bedrooms all have fans, blinds to keep the heat out, lovely views over the gardens and en suite bathrooms. They are each unique in their style, comfortable, traditional and peaceful – you should sleep well. Spend lazy days snoozing by the saltwater pool, visit the shop attached to the distillery and buy gifts to take home – guests get a discount.

Taradeau is a small village with a shop and a bar, known for its chapelle and a ‘keep’.

Reviews

Full of family history (all rooms furnished with the family's antiques). The welcome is extremely friendly too. The rooms have been very attractively updated to modern needs, yet still remaining in the 'spirit' of a beautiful family home. The surrounding grounds are lovely, clean and tidy but not too manicured. Overall this is the ideal place to relax and recuperate from busy town life.

Introducing

Adeline de Barry

The château was built in 1740 as a dowry for the daughter of the Marquis de Villeneuve Bargemon. Since then it's been passed down from one daughter to another, with the exception of the Count of Rohan-Chabot, grandfather of the current owner Adeline de Barry – the family's 11th generation. The château exhibit their wines at the London Wine Fair and supply the Élysée Palace.
