La Pause Tourrettane - restaurant opposite Château du Puy in Tourrettes

In Tourrettes, Domaine Grande Bastide is a vineyard on the Provence Wine Route where you can move straight from exploring the hilltop villages to discovering the region's wines. The estate grows and makes its own wines and welcomes visitors all year round.

Can you enjoy a tasting without arranging a full tour?

Yes. Tastings in the cellar are free, allowing you to discover the different wines produced on site. The estate makes reds, rosés and whites, with several blends based on Provençal and Mediterranean grape varieties.

What if you want to understand the cellar?

Cellar tours are also available throughout the year on request. This is the option to choose if you want to go beyond a visit to the tasting counter and better understand the estate's production and winemaking.

The extra touch

The estate is in Tourrettes, around ten minutes from Lac de Saint-Cassien. It therefore fits easily into a day combining village, lake and local produce, without requiring a detour to the major vineyards along the Var coast.

For visitors who want to get a taste of the Pays de Fayence, Grande Bastide offers an easy introduction to local wine-growing.

In Tourrettes, behind the façades of the village turned open-air museum, the Musée municipal Baston - Ostoya offers a stop devoted to two artists. Opened between 2020 and 2021, it displays collections donated to the municipality: works by Denis Baston, a ceramicist and sculptor from Fayence, and Thomas Ostoya (1932–2020), painter and sculptor. Paintings, metal and wooden sculptures and reliefs make up this free introduction to local artistic heritage.

Why visit this museum?

It is a particularly interesting complement to a walk along the painted lanes of Tourrettes. Here, local art is no longer discovered solely on village walls: works are preserved in a municipal space, with particular attention to materials, forms and passing on the heritage of Pays de Fayence artists.

How should you plan your visit?

The museum is at 1 place de la Mairie, Tourrettes (83440). In 2026, self-guided visits are advertised Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00. For a Saturday morning visit, contact the town hall to confirm opening. Admission is free. For parking, use the Boudoura or place de l'Horloge car parks.

The extra touch: combine the museum with the Tourrettes heritage walk: first explore artworks scattered through the lanes, then the museum collections to understand how the village became a true living gallery.
