Château d'Astros

Château d'Astros is a castle and wine estate in Vidauban set within landscaped gardens planted with classical statues and a central fountain. The property includes extensive vineyards and thousands of apple trees across its grounds.

The property served as a filming location in 1990 for the French cinema adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's autobiographical novel 'Le Château de ma mère'. This connection linked the estate to a significant work of French literature.

The estate produces organic wines under the Côtes de Provence AOP designation using methods that highlight the natural fruit flavors. This production style reflects the winemaking traditions of the Provence region.

Visitors can arrange guided tours of the cellars and estate, along with wine tasting sessions. Exploring the vineyard and orchard trails requires booking in advance to ensure proper arrangements.

The property maintains thousands of apple trees of different varieties across its grounds. From late summer onwards, the estate opens its orchards to the public for seasonal fruit picking activities.
