Located in the heart of Provence, just 15 kilometers north of Aix-en-Provence (about a 20-minute drive), Château La Coste is an exceptional 200-hectare wine estate. It is one of the most prestigious and unique day trips to experience during your stay in the region.
A Unique Trail Between Contemporary Art and Architecture
Since 2011, the estate has invited internationally renowned artists and architects to create in situ artworks, designed in perfect harmony with the Provençal landscape:
- The Tadao Ando Art Center: A minimalist concrete and glass building bordered by a spectacular water basin.
- Monumental Sculptures: Discover steel structures by Richard Serra. Or the iconic spider by Louise Bourgeois (“Spider”) emerging from the water.
- The Art & Architecture Trail: More than 40 contemporary artworks and architectural pavilions (Renzo Piano, Jean Nouvel, Frank Gehry) line a 2-hour walk through the vineyards and hills.
Organic Winery & Provençal Wine Tasting
Cultivated using organic farming practices, the Château La Coste vineyard produces exceptional wines that express the rich local terroir (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino).
During your visit, you can participate in guided wine tastings or book a tour of the cellars to discover the secrets of winemaking.
An Exceptional Dining Experience
The estate offers several culinary experiences tailored to every preference:
- Tadao Ando Restaurant: Refined Mediterranean cuisine served in a sunlit setting suspended over the water.
- La Terrasse Provençale: A friendly outdoor space to enjoy traditional regional dishes and sharing platters.
- Francis Mallmann: A restaurant dedicated to open-fire cooking for lovers of meats and Argentine flavors.
