LOCATION

La Verrière and its Chêne Bleu vineyard and winery are located in the Vaucluse region of Provence, in the South of France, at the heart of the Mont Ventoux UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, high up in the Dentelles de Montmirail—a mountain saddle at the foot of the Saint Amand.  Drive or bike past the village of Crestet to the end of a winding paved road through the forest, until you see a wine estate surrounding the medieval priory which is now converted into sustainable luxury accommodations, per the detailed directions below. 

We are approx 50min northeast of Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 30min from Gigondas, 15min from Vaison-la-Romaine, 7min from Crestet.

BY CAR

Once you are in the local area you can use the following directions:

VERY IMPORTANT
If using a GPS (Waze is preferable), to be sure you’re on the right road 

Go into your Navigation Settings:

• Make sure you specify PAVED ROADS ONLY [Don’t allow Dirt/Unpaved Roads]. DO NOT USE Google Maps as it does not offer this option.

• And/or check that the recommended route takes you past the village of CRESTET [84100- Vaucluse].  It's essential that you come to us via Crestet — NOT via Séguret or any other towns — or you will end up on very rugged, unpaved back roads which are only accessible by 4x4/SUV.

• If you’re not sure, set your GPS initially to the village of Crestet and not “La Verrière”.  Upon arrival to Crestet, change the address to La Verrière.  This will put you on the correct road.

FROM VAISON-LA-ROMAINE
On the D938, turn RIGHT in front of the Pizzeria La Loupiote and head up the mountain on the winding road towards the hilltop village part of Crestet.

FROM MALAUCENE

• The turn for Crestet is sooner, on your LEFT.

• There are directional signs for Chêne Bleu/La Verrière at the base of the village and at the village.

• The road zigzags past the village (do not actually enter the village).

AT THE TOP OF THE VILLAGE
Follow the sign for Chêne Bleu/La Verrière and head LEFT. Drive 3km after the village zigzagging for about 7 minutes through the woods, staying on the ONLY PAVED ROAD. This will bring you directly to us.  You will not see many other houses after Crestet until you get to us.  It is the right road!

More details if you want them:

• After 1.5km you will pass a building below you on the left that used to be the Crestet Centre d’Art.

• After another 1.2km through the woods, you will pass a big cross: bear right, still on the only paved road, you are almost there!

• You will eventually see a big clearing in the trees, then the property, surrounded by a sea of vines, and welcome signs for Chêne Bleu & La Verrière.
