Domaine de la Citadelle
Domaine de la Citadelle is a winery with an integrated museum located in Provence. The property features vineyards, production areas, and exhibition spaces that together present how wine has shaped life in this region over time.
The estate grew from a family with generations of winemaking experience, developing as local wine production became more professional over the 20th century. Its transformation into a museum-integrated site reflects how traditional producers opened their doors to public visitors.
The estate takes its name from the nearby Citadelle of Ménerbes and reflects how wine is woven into the town's identity. Visitors can see how the property remains rooted in local tradition while welcoming those who want to understand this region's wine culture.
A visit works best during harvest time or spring when activity is most visible on the grounds. Allow several hours to explore both the vineyard areas and interior spaces at a relaxed pace.
The estate was private for decades and has become known in local art circles for mixing contemporary works with wine culture. This blend of art and agricultural life offers visitors an unexpected perspective on how communities in southern France view creativity and tradition.
