The Delights of terroir

Terroir and gastronomy

The Luberon nature is bountiful, as you can gather from its amazing markets. You can explore further and learn all about how these delicious products are grown and made. It is exciting to see how the Luberon growers are increasingly choosing organic culture methods.

La Maison de la Truffe et du Vin, in a stunning 17th century building in the heart of Ménerbes, is an essential destination for wine lovers and gastronomes. It has an amazing cellar and a great restaurant. https://www.vintruffeluberon.com/presentation/
