Located near Apt, in the village of Villars, Château Saint Pons is set in a remarkable natural environment, between vines, forests and open landscapes overlooking the Luberon.
From the moment you arrive, the charm takes hold: the view, colours and light create a striking setting for an evening at sunset.
The château’s vines form ten hectares of continuous hillsides, facing west and surrounded by forest, far from any road.
During the Sunsets Vignerons, Château Saint Pons opens its doors to share its terroir, its motto and its expertise in a convivial atmosphere.
Terroir & expertise
The estate’s motto, « Ex uva vinum », reflects an essential belief: wine begins with grapes. Every attention is therefore given to the vines.
Soil work, short pruning, debudding and hand harvesting shape the estate’s work, helping the vines thrive while respecting the expression of the terroir.
Throughout the evening, visitors discover this commitment directly on site, in contact with the vineyard, the cellar and the wines tasted.
