Come to La Cavale to discover the Luberon through organic wines, olive oils and honey, reflecting the vision of Paul Dubrule, its owner. In the magnificent cellar, you will have the possibility of tasting the wines or of taking a guided tour of the cellar. You will be able to stroll through the store, offering a diverse range of wine and spirits from around the world. You will also have the possibility to have a drink on the terrace in the heart of the Luberon accompanied by local sweet or savory specialties.

Here, we have been professional beekeepers since 1999. Several hundred thousand bees are kept in 350 hives, each of which "shelter" 50 to 80,000 bees. All the products are organic: honeys (lavender, rosemary, all flowers...) but also white nougat with lavender honey (with organic almonds from Provence), gingerbread or "saucimiel", a home-made product in the form of milk or dark chocolate sausage with dried fruit. A beautiful panoply.

The Dauphin-Gasquet family (Céline and Stéphane) have been millers since 1923, and olive growers for as long as anyone can remember, in this village aptly nicknamed "Cucuron des Olivettes", at their troglodyte oil mill. Nestled in a cave in the ramparts of Cucuron, this mill, which is well worth a visit, has been in operation since the ^12th century. An average of 230 tons of olives (local varieties such as aglandau, typical of southern Luberon, bouteillan, cayon and picholine) are crushed to produce an extra-virgin oil, characterized by an intense nose with notes of raw artichoke.

La Glacière is the brainchild of Anne-Sophie, the gourmet blogger we follow on Le garde manger du Sud. Sparkling and enthusiastic, this pretty brunette is a child of the country, as they say, and has moved into what was once her grandfather's garage, on Place de l'Étang, in the heart of the village. The terrace is perfect for enjoying an ice cream and basking in the sun. Anne-Sophie offers ice creams, sundaes, milkshakes, granités, crêpes and chantilly. And it's all homemade, of course!

It's been a family affair for four generations. The owners pamper 12 ha certified in organic agriculture from which they obtain an AOC Provence oil. You will find it at the estate shop, in pretty bottles, fruity or flavoured (lemon, truffle, basil, Espelette pepper), alongside green and black tapenades. And as the benefits of olive oil are multiple. Take the time to discover the other products of this mill where cereals are grown.

Louérion is the name given to the Luberon by the Romans. It brings together some 150 cooperators who work in a vineyard of 950 hectares spread over the communes of Ansouis, Cabrières-d'Aigues, Cadenet, Cucuron, La Motte-d'Aigues, La Tour-d'Aigues, Lauris, Lourmarin, Mérindol, Pertuis, Puget, Puyvert, Sannes, Vaugines and Villelaure. Regularly awarded, their wines are characterized by fruity aromas for whites, red or exotic fruit aromas for rosés, and spicy or ripe fruit notes for reds. In AOP Luberon, IGP Vaucluse and Méditerranée and Vin de France.

It's a beautiful property where we work in the respect of the traditions and the land. The estate is cultivated in organic farming. The vines extend over 8 ha of hillsides allowing us to produce AOC Luberon wines in all 3 colours. The harvest is entirely manual. The vintages of the estate are distinguished by the harmony of the blend of grape varieties for the white and red Aquarelle vintages as well as for the red La Melchiorte vintage. The estate has 400 olive trees, mainly from the Aglandau variety.
