Presentation

This tiny vineyard is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. Regis Gautier can thank his grandfather Félicien for standing up to his parents when they considered selling the family farm. The domain escaped the concrete and today produces a few thousand of bottles classified in Côtes de Provence. 

Extra

Regis Gautier and Yvonne, his grandmother, offer weekly rentals of apartments, cottages, or bungalows.

Original and unusual

At the time of the harvest, friends and guests of his grandmother’s huts and bungalows regularly asked Regis to participate in the harvest. The winemaker has suggested they form an association to act by his side. So today, the l’Association des Vendangeurs Arbanais, which now has dozens of members, operates in the vineyards of the estate. The harvest is friendly and invariably ends with a friendly barbecue.
