Wine Courses are given in English in our large, sunny, wine tasting room using ISO glassware. Class size is limited to 12 people.

  What visitors have said about Mas du Martinet
   
 
Auberge du Vin is in a beautiful area of Provence surrounded by vineyards. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Full of rustic charm! Chris and Linda are supurb hosts and will go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The gardens and swimming pool are divine. Can't wait for a return visit!

My husband and I held our wedding reception in the Auberge du Vin in August 2010 and in our wildest dreams it could not have been more perfect! The Auberge is absolutely beautiful and was ideal accommodation for our families before and after the wedding. The beautiful garden and backdrop of Mont Ventoux provided an absolutely stunning setting for the champagne reception, and the courtyard the perfect place for a meal, speeches and dancing!
Alexa Jeremy,  Aug 2010 


We took a long weekend at the Auberge du Vin and came back feeling like we had had an entire week away of full-on relaxation. Linda and Chris were magnificent hosts where nothing was too much trouble. The food was locally sourced and delicious and Linda's choices of wine for our tasting was perfect. We were a party of 12 adults and 7 children aged between 9 and 15 and there was something for everyone. A wonderful escape.
Family,  Luxemburg,  Jun 2010 


We were there the first week of October 2010. Weather was wonderful, even managed a couple of dips in the pool! An extremely comfortable property set in stunning surroundings with a glorious view of Mont Ventoux to greet you each morning! If wine tasting is to be part of your visit, you will be spoilt for choice as there are so many places to go. We would highly recommend taking advantage of one of Linda's wine tasting courses and suggest you do this at the start of your visit. It was a very informal, informative and enjoyable few hours and her help and advice was very valuable. A visit to nearby Auberge Camarette for a special evening meal is a delightful experience. Linda will give you the details. You will need to have use of a car to make the most of this delightful area. A visit is highly recommended.
