Today we will visit the winery located a stone's throw from the Villa. Here we'll  begin with the captivating story of the winery, where history and tradition intertwine. We will discover the vineyard and the unique appellations that define the local wines and finish with an exclusive access visit to the production and aging areas. We will make sure you have plenty of time to taste the local wines produced on site! 

Today, our group will set off on a private tour of the historic city of Arles, a charming destination known for its remarkable Roman ruins. We’ll explore the amphitheater and meander through the lively Place du Forum, where it will feel like we’ve stepped back in time.

Next, we’ll make our way to Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the town where Van Gogh spent some time. Here, we’ll visit the asylum where he created many of his most famous paintings. The town is incredibly picturesque, with quaint streets lined with charming shops and cafés—perfect for soaking up that artistic atmosphere.

The highlight of the day will be Les Baux-de-Provence, a stunning medieval village perched on a rocky hilltop. The views are absolutely breathtaking, like something out of a storybook. This entire tour promises to be filled with fascinating history, beautiful scenery, and, of course, delicious local food and wine!

It's been a full week of exploring the breathtaking hills of the Luberon and now it's time for some well-earned relaxation. We invite you to enjoy a slow-start to your day, rising when you're ready and joining us in the villa's sun-drenched kitchen for a delicious breakfast and a piping hot cappuccino. 

While today is yours to fill as you desire, we have few recommendations that are sure to make this day memorable. We've arranged for a licensed masseuse to join us today on property, if you'd like we invite you partake and enjoy a relaxing massage. After lunch, you absolutely must grab a crisp glass of rosé and try your hand at the most traditional french game, pétanque. Pétanque is played with hollow metal balls (boules) and a small wooden ball called the “cochonnet” (literally “piglet” in French) or jack. The game can be played in teams of one, two, or three people and is a delightful way to experience French culture. 

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast on the terrace—fresh pastries, fruit, and French coffee, all while soaking in the beautiful morning views. Once you're done, we invite you to join us as venture into the center of town to experience the weekly market. 

This market is known for being as charming and beautiful as the town itself. This is an intimate market and you'll find that local artisans are excited to chat with tourists and are equally enthusiastic to share their passion with you. During your time you'll find amazing local produce, delectable cheeses from the region as well as hand-crafted items that make perfect souvenirs. We'll enjoy lunch in the village today and when you're ready, feel free to make your way back to our villa. 

We will wrap up the day with a fabulous dinner created just for us by our private chef. Savor a delicious meal, raise a toast, and celebrate the friendships and memories you’ve made. End with a glass of bubbly (or tea!), reminiscing about the week. 

It’s your final morning in our beautiful villa. Take a moment to savor one last breakfast with your fellow retreat guests. As you sip your cappuccino and wipe the crumbs of croissant from your lips, share your favorite memories from the week. While this trip may be coming to a close, the friendships you’ve formed are just beginning. And don’t forget—there’s always the next retreat to look forward to!
