Discover Ménerbes, a Timeless Luberon Village of Art, Truffles, Wine and Authentic Provençal Charm

Ménerbes carries the quiet charm that has long inspired artists, including writer Peter Mayle, who settled here in the 1980s. His warm and humorous take on Provençal life helped bring the village international recognition. A stroll through its lanes quickly reveals what captivated him: soft light, stone houses and an easy, unhurried rhythm of life in the Provençal countryside.

At the heart of the village, the Maison de la Truffe et du Vin showcases two local treasures. Visitors can explore the aromas of tuber melanosporum, taste Luberon wines and learn about the history and craft of the region’s truffle growers, a beautiful expression of the local terroir.

Just steps away, the Ad Fines vineyard reflects the renewed winemaking energy of Ménerbes, with carefully crafted cuvées set against a remarkable natural backdrop.

Ménerbes remains a place apart, vibrant, elegant and deeply connected to its terroir. It is an inspiring stop for travellers seeking an authentic Provence retreat in the heart of the Luberon.

And for the curious, the village is also home to a charming and unexpected attraction: the Corkscrew Museum, an amusing and unusual discovery for visitors exploring Provence.
