Domaine de La Citadelle — Attraction in Apt

Frankly, the best experience for the wine enthusiasts and nature lovers.

There are three things to be admired about this place.

The wine, of course, is really nice from here. They have about 30 varieties of grapes. The entire process and cellar are show during the free visit. One can taste as many wines as you want. You can even buy from there. They’ve a great collection.

They have developed a herbs garden or a botanical garden in there entire 50 hectares of area, along with the vineyards. The ticket for this is 5€ per person. They’ve very nicely mentioned about the medicinal and cooking aspects of these herbs and plants.

Thé responsible, Madame Bauve, is such an amazing person to interact and learn about the place, about wines or grapes or process. She’s just perfect.

Our friend who’s not a big fan of wines even loved the place and enjoyed the wines there.

One can drive there easily. Very nicely marked place.

They organise the group and official visits as well for organisations.

Enjoy the summers...

A dream experience at the winery! We started by seeing the production room, followed by a self-guided tour of the botanical gardens, the cellar and the corkscrew museum. After those activities, we had a wine tasting of all the wines and got wine glasses to sit on the patio where the host offered us leftovers from a group lunch. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional and it showed. We left with two affordable and delicious bottles of wine - white wines that pleased the red wine lovers and vice versa. Highly, highly...

We did the official wine tasting and tour and absolutely loved it! Our guide was very knowledgeable - explaining in-depth the different aspects of the winemaking process and answering all of our questions. The wines were delicious and the tour of the winemaking facilities was interesting - giving us new perspective on the winemaking process. Would highly recommend.

Also their on-site restaurant is wonderful - our favourite meals of the trip. We liked it so much we immediately booked a second dinner upon returning home...
