Cezanne painted Sainte-Victoire eighty-seven times; each return revealed a light he had not yet seen. Fifteen kilometres from his last studio, Château La Coste was built on the same demand: that the greatest living artists create, for this precise terrain, works that shift with the hours and the seasons. Fervenza composes your wedding here, one of four per season.
Three days that begin among the vines, where welcoming your guests at Villa La Coste and walking at dusk with the curator through thirty works signed Tadao Ando, Louise Bourgeois, Frank Gehry are only the prelude to your ceremony, at the foot of the chosen artwork. Then comes the wedding night, lived from the vines to the terrace, through a triply starred dinner by Florent Pietravalle and a private concert by the artist you love, beneath the pines and the stars. From end to end: rare access, a three-star table, a concert that belongs to your evening alone, carried with the command and the certainty that define Fervenza.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests can the estate host?
From 120 to 250 guests. Château La Coste spans two hundred hectares of vines, forests and limestone, with around thirty permanent artworks across the estate. The ceremony stands at the foot of the chosen artwork. Dinner takes place in one of the architect pavilions or in the heart of the vines, depending on the staging.
Can we truly celebrate at the foot of the artworks?
Yes. The estate opens its spaces for privatisation before the public arrives. Your ceremony can take place before Crouching Spider by Louise Bourgeois, in Tadao Ando's chapel of light, or in a clearing where an Alexander Calder mobile plays with the wind. The estate curator works with Fervenza to choose the site that reflects you, in respect of the artwork and the artist's intention.
Which architects and artists are present on the estate?
Tadao Ando (the art centre, the concrete chapel), Frank Gehry (the music pavilion), Jean Nouvel (the wine cellar), Richard Serra, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Lee Ufan, Sean Scully, Tracey Emin, Andy Goldsworthy. Around thirty permanent works in total, each placed by the artists themselves in dialogue with the terrain.
Who composes the dinner?
Florent Pietravalle, triple Michelin-starred chef at restaurant Louison within Villa La Coste. His cuisine works the produce from the estate's organic kitchen garden, the olive trees, the garrigue herbs, the fish from the Mediterranean. Each dish is paired with the Château La Coste vintages, a biodynamic wine signed Jean-Frederic Hugel.
Where do guests stay?
At Villa La Coste, the estate's five-star hotel, distinguished with Three Keys by the Michelin Guide. Twenty-eight villas scattered among the pines and vines, with views of the Luberon. Infinity pool, Aesop spa, starred restaurants. For larger groups, Fervenza coordinates private mas and Relais & Châteaux within a thirty-minute radius.
What is the best season?
From May to October. September offers the densest light, the harvest under way, the vines heavy with fruit. June brings lavender in bloom and the longest days. May and October give the intimacy of days when the estate breathes differently. Each season changes the character of the works: Calder in spring, Serra in autumn are entirely different.
What is the indicative budget?
Celebrations at Château La Coste start at around €2,200,000 for one hundred and twenty guests over three days, estate privatisation, private access to the artworks, gastronomic tables by Florent Pietravalle, the estate's vintage and accommodation at Villa La Coste included. Each project is tailored to your vision.
