About the region

This fascinating region sits along France’s Mediterranean coast, bordered by the Rhône River to the west and the Côte d’Azur to the east. Physically, it’s only about 150 miles (241 km) long and 100 miles (161 km) north to south, but its impact is profound.

Wine has been made here for over 2,600 years, making Provence the oldest wine-producing region of France. It is also the only place to focus on rosé and is home to the only research institute dedicated to the style.
