Spring travel in southern France: stay at a Provence chateau with meals and wine tasting for just around NT$3,000 per night

Provence is the most popular tourist destination in southern France. With its warm sunshine, colorful flower fields, and medieval-style mountain towns, it captivates visitors from all over the world. The largest wine estate in the region that also offers accommodation, "Abbaye Saint Hilaire," has launched a special limited-time spring package — stay at the chateau, enjoy two meals a day, and indulge in wine tasting, all for just under NT$3,000 per night.

Beautiful lavender is one of the most iconic images of Provence. Before the peak lavender tourism season in June and July arrives, visiting Provence in spring not only allows you to see stunning landscapes such as cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, and poppy fields, but also means cheaper airfares and fewer crowds at popular mountain towns. It's the perfect time to travel to Europe.

In addition to producing lavender essential oil and olive oil, Provence’s excellent climate and gravel-rich soil are ideal for growing grapes. The region is home to many beautiful wineries, and Abbaye Saint Hilaire is the second-largest in Provence. Alongside crafting award-winning premium wines that have earned numerous French wine industry gold medals, it also offers an authentic rural southern French accommodation experience.

With a history of over 300 years, Abbaye Saint Hilaire not only produces exquisite wines but also sells organic drinks such as olive oil, apple juice, and wine vinegar. Its 220-hectare vineyard is a breathtaking sight. In recent years, the estate has converted several century-old stone buildings previously lying idle among the vineyards into charming Provençal-style guesthouses (Gîtes). These accommodations feature swimming pools out front, rows of grapevines stretching toward the ridge, and vast fields of lavender in summer that guests are free to pick. Some rooms even come with kitchens, allowing cooking enthusiasts to prepare meals using local Provençal ingredients.

The estate is now offering an exceptional 3-day, 2-night package for groups of two or more, available from April 24 to May 1. Starting from just 266 euros per couple, it costs roughly NT$3,000 per person per night. Enjoy a two-night stay in the refined Mauve Suite, savor Provençal-style breakfasts and dinners at the estate’s restaurant, visit the wine cellar, and sample Abbaye Saint Hilaire’s fine wines. A mysterious, exquisitely crafted souvenir will also be gifted as a lovely memento. Book early to secure your spot.
