Overview
Stay in the grounds of a famous Luberon winemaker at this traditional Provençal mas which has been restored to create a welcoming holiday home with a heated swimming pool and lovely garden.
Just over 1.5km from a small village, not far from iconic Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux, Mas Du Vigneron is perfect for wine lovers and guests who wish to embrace authentic life in Provence. How wonderful to be able to stroll across to the winery and popular olive oil museum for tastings, purchases and guided tours – they produce organic wines, spirits and cold-pressed olive oil here as well as honey from the lavender fields of Sault further afield.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, enter this handsome house via the open-plan lounge, an elegant space with its open fireplace, TV and air-conditioning which opens up to an attractive dining area with a working piano. The attractive wood-beamed kitchen comes next, before you walk into a galley-style dining room with high ceilings and sliding windows opening out to the charming garden. Yet another air-conditioned lounge can be found at the very end, as well as a garage with table football and ping pong.
The five bedrooms are scattered across three floors alongside three bathrooms (one of them en suite). Four doubles and a small twin, bedrooms are simply decorated with touches of character – one of the doubles benefits from air-conditioning whilst there is air-conditioning on the landing by the three bedrooms on the top floor.
Outside, the garden is well kept with summer lavender, pine trees, lawn and a characterful tiled table beneath the plane tree as well as plenty of other picture-perfect spots to read or relax with a chilled glass of the estate’s organic wine. The heated swimming pool is fenced and surrounded by traditional terracing for sunbathing or there is a little pool house if you prefer to watch on from the shade.
Beyond the wine estate, a small village with a handful of places to eat and shop is within 1.7km whilst the dramatically perched Oppède le Vieux is a little further, a once abandoned village with its steep medieval lanes and incredible views. Also nearby is Coustellet, home to the Lavender Museum and a Farmer’s market on a Sunday morning.
Spend time admiring Ménerbes and its beautiful surroundings, visit Van Gogh’s beloved Gordes and other Luberon gems such as Bonnieux, Roussillon and Lourmarin. Elsewhere, canoe or kayak along the Sorgue River from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, soak up the ambience of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s Sunday brocante and admire the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon, reached in just under an hour.

Location
About the surrounding area of Mas Du VigneronMas Du Vigneron enjoys a unique setting in a small hamlet and working wine estate, just over 1.5km from a small village in the Luberon region of Provence. You reach the house by driving through the bustling little hamlet and you can park on the road or in a garage (space for two small cars or one large one).
After passing your garden, walk through a gate to reach the winery and olive oil museum which is open to the public Monday to Saturday (closed on Saturdays in the winter months). You can arrange tastings of wine, olive oil, spirits and honey and enjoy guided tours of the olive oil museum (do book ahead, charges apply). You can also purchase some of the organic wines, spirits and olive oil made on the estate (and honey produced from the lavender fields of Sault).
The heart of local village is around 1.7km away – you could walk there (it’s a country road with no pavement) or even better hire bikes and cycle. Here you will find a small handful of places to eat, a grocery store, boulangerie and tennis court whilst in the other direction is Coustellet (3km), home to a good-sized supermarket, the Lavender Museum, a nice selection of shops and a Farmer’s market on a Sunday morning.
Take time to visit the perched village of Oppède le Vieux (4km), once abandoned then brought back to life by a colony of artists in the mid-20th century. It’s a small, dramatically positioned village which is full of character with steep lanes and ancient houses as well as incredible views from its perched setting. Hike further beyond the village to the beautiful Église Notre-Dame Dalidon.
Ménerbes (5km) is also nearby, one of the Luberon’s iconic villages made especially famous by Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’. It’s home to gorgeous restaurant terraces with views of the vineyards and cherry orchards below. The Thursday morning market is a good time to visit.
Gordes (9km), Bonnieux (15km), Lacoste (12km) and red-hued Roussillon (16km) are some of the Luberon’s other famous hilltop villages whilst Lourmarin (28km) can be reached in around half an hour, passing spectacular forests and hills as you wind your way through the Luberon landscapes. Heading east, the handsome town of Apt (23km) hosts the region’s largest market on a Saturday morning.
Beyond the Luberon, sail down the Sorgue River by canoe/kayak from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (13km), visit the Sunday morning brocante in charming L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (13km) and admire the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon (34km).

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesExplore the Luberon landscapes as a family by hiring bikes and enjoying long family walks or even hikes with routes and trails for a variety of abilities. La Véloroute du Calavon is often a popular choice with families when cycling as it follows a former railway line just north of your holiday home (passing through nearby Coustellet).
Fontaine-de-Vaucluse offers kayaking and canoeing opportunities along the Sorgue River and just outside the picturesque town you will find Nestor Le Castor, a little attraction park open on summer weekends/holidays with inflatables, rides and trampolines etc, and a tree-top adventure centre with trails for children aged 3+ (depending on height).
If visiting Avignon for the day, look out for the tourist road train that tours the historic sights. Between Avignon and Carpentras you will find the summer waterpark, Wave Island, and Parc Spirou, a theme park in Provence.
