Visit and tasting at Domaine Villa Baulieu
Your host:

Property of the Counts of Provence, erected as a fief by Henry III in 1576, the largest Provencal families succeeded each other. The Alamanon, Agoult, Oraison, Pontleroy but also the Tournefort and the Candolle resided there, attentive to preserve this exceptional terroir. The tradition continues today within the Guénant family who acquired this magnificent property in 2001, making Villa Baulieu, one of the most welcoming sites in the region. Villa, Seigneurie, Domaine, Bastide, Château then again Villa, Beaulieu is built and flourishes over the centuries. It was the Jullien and the Besson who built, firmly anchored on its basaltic base, the current Italian castle that will replace the old Bastide. With the exception of the four towers that canton it dating from 1805, the castle has not changed since, although a modernization of the courtyard and the 1st floor took place around 1780. These changes of the eighteenth century are probably due to the architect Vallon. Today, Beaulieu has even regained its old writing, Baulieu, and Villa has replaced 'castle. Ponds and aqueducts supply all the fountains.
