Located on the foothills of the Massif des Maures, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Verdon, the property comprises nearly 850 hectares of oak trees, olive trees and garrigue which protect at their heart the centuries-old vineyard of great reputation, Château Peyrassol.
Owned by Philippe Austruy since 2001, the vineyard produces sublime Côtes de Provence AOP wines. The estate houses its owner's exceptional collection of contemporary art. La Commanderie de Peyrassol also welcomes visitors for a gourmet meal, a day of discovery, or a Provençal getaway. Weddings and seminars are also held there throughout the year.
