Alpilles terroir at the heart of the culinary experience

A private chef in the Alpilles works above all with the emblematic products of Provence, selected according to season and the quality of local producers. Menus feature sunny, structured and balanced cuisine.

Provence lamb, PDO Camargue bull, free-range poultry and home-grown Mediterranean vegetables such as heirloom tomatoes, eggplants, zucchinis, peppers, fennel and artichokes are frequently featured. Aromatic herbs - thyme, rosemary, savory, laurel - naturally add flavor to the dishes.

Olive oil from the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence PDO plays a central role, as do garlic, citrus fruits and, in season, black Vaucluse truffles, particularly appreciated in the Alpilles. Provençal goat's cheeses, brousse and mature tommes complete the meal.

Wine and food pairing: Southern expression and balance

The food & wine pairings offered in the Alpilles favor characterful appellations, capable of accompanying generous cuisine without overpowering it. Private chefs mainly select wines from Baux-de-Provence, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, Ventoux and Luberon.

A red Baux-de-Provence is the ideal accompaniment to meats or strong-flavored dishes, while a white Luberon or Coteaux d'Aix is perfect for vegetal or lighter cuisine. These pairings are finely tuned to enhance the experience without going overboard.
