France: Château de Berne, Provence
A Wine Estate Built for Every Kind of Getaway
Set among vines between Lorgues and Flayosc, Château de Berne spans a sprawling estate of more than 500 hectares, where the property produces roughly 500,000 bottles of wine each year, including its signature Cuvée Sauvage, a sparkling rosé with notes of raspberry and strawberry. Rooms open onto views of forest, vineyard, courtyard, or garden, each finished with the estate's trademark blue shutters and a country-chic warmth, with an infinity pool looking out over the vines.
Days here can run from tennis among the olive trees and ATV excursions to watercolor lessons and creating a signature perfume, with meals served on the terrace beneath a pergola. Dining ranges from the Michelin-starred Le Jardin de Berne to Le Bistrot de la Cave under chef Benjamin Collombat, plus a gourmet terrace for lighter meals. The 800 square-meter Cinq Mondes Spa rounds out the wellness side, and roughly 100 kilometers of footpaths wind through the estate's farmland, riverbanks, forests, and vineyards. Families are genuinely well cared for too, with cots and equipment for young children, babysitting, and hands-on activities like meeting the estate's animals at its sheepfold.
