Set on the southern edge of the Luberon, Château Val Joanis combines wine production with one of the most impressive landscaped gardens in the region.

The estate is built around the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa, and its gardens were later designed in an 18th-century style, with a focus on both beauty and productivity. Three terraces step down the hillside, protected from the mistral, each with a different character: an ornamental garden, a historic-style vegetable garden, and flower beds integrated into the vineyard landscape.

Recognized as a Jardin Remarquable, the site stands out for how it blends structured design with the surrounding environment of pine forests, olive groves, and vines.

The estate itself is extensive, covering hundreds of hectares, with elegant courtyards shaded by century-old plane trees and water features that reflect a more restrained, almost monastic aesthetic.

You can combine a garden visit with a wine tasting, making this a well-rounded stop if you’re exploring the Luberon.

👉 Local Tip: Walk through all three terraces. Many visitors stay near the entrance and miss how the garden evolves as you move down.
