Luberon (or Lubéron) is a massif in central part of Provence in Southern Franc where one could enjoy the view from Alps and Mediterranean Sea. It is famous for its spectacular countryside of the protected Luberon Regional Natural Park by UNESCO, along with lavender fields, vineyards and orchards, and a number of hill-top villages. 

In 1989, A Year in Provence published in 1989 by Peter Mayle, a well-known British author, has nudged tourism in this area. Each hill town has distinct character but subtle differences in the colours of shutters, the pattern of stones, the way that the flowers are planted and etc., which await every tourist to explore and find out.

The wine produced in this region earns a mountain appellation called “Luberon AOC.”AOC is the highest ranking in French wine. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between 200 and 450 meters. The variations in daily temperature in the mountainous landscape contributes to the sharp strong taste of the red wine in this region.
