| Chateau de Palayson is an award winning vineyard estate with significant historical importance. Located in Roquebrune sur Argens, Chateau de Palayson is nestled against the Roche de Roquebrune (red rocks of Roquebrune), west of Nice and between Cannes and St Tropez. |
|
Most recently purchased in 1999, the entire Chateau de Palayson estate has had extensive renovation and restoration. During the renovation and restoration process, ruins were unearthed that include the ancient walls of the Villa Palaio, dating back to ca. year 200 BC, and the foundation of a Roman mausoleum from the beginning of the first century.
|
| Additionally, there are twin chapelles from the 11th century as well as the chateau and old wine caves that were converted from the estate's time as a monastery. Adding to the estate's beauty, formal gardens have been created throughout the grounds. The recent renovations have also included the estate's 3 bedroom luxury villa, Villa Palaio, which is available for rent. |
| The estate's wine caves have been updated to include the latest in new equipment and technology. Chateau de Palayson is receiving international recognition for their red wines and are also included in Le Guide Hachette. Their goal has consistently been to produce a high quality red wine based on a Syrah/Cabernet Sauvignon blend that makes it comparable to a cross between a Bordeaux and a Rhone style wine. |
| Chateau de Palayson is open for business almost every day of the year. Tastings with a guided tour of the caves and property, along with a buffet lunch of local delicacies, can be arranged for groups of 15 to 40 persons. Events such as weddings, receptions or other special occasions can also be planned at Chateau de Palayson. |
