Immerse yourself in the elegance and sustainability of the South of France with this extraordinary getaway curated by Gérard Bertrand, a pioneer of biodynamic winemaking and ocean stewardship. You and a guest will enjoy three luxurious nights in the Villa Soleilla suite at Chateau L’Hospitalet, Gerard Bertrand’s 5-star wine resort beach and spa located on the coast of Narbonne.

Perched above the vines and overlooking the Mediterranean, you’ll indulge in a revitalizing Biologique Recherche Spa experience. Your stay includes a private wine tasting of Gérard Bertrand’s acclaimed vintages, a behind-the-scenes tour and lunch at Clos du Temple (home of the world’s most iconic rosé), and a romantic dinner for two at the Green Michelin-starred Art de Vivre restaurant, a jewel of France’s sustainable culinary scene.

From May to September, this package also includes an exclusive Mediterranean lunch and reserved daybeds at the Hospitalet Private Beach—a serene retreat that reflects Bertrand’s commitment to coastal preservation. You will also take home a collector’s bottle of the ultra-rare 1945 Legend Vintage fortified wine—a historic vintage marking the end of World War II and one of the finest years in French wine history. A celebration of terroir, elegance, and ocean-friendly luxury.
