Seminars & Team Retreats
An immersion in the Alpilles terroir
Joyeuse Provence designs tailor-made experiences to bring teams together, thank partners, or welcome clients in a convivial and inspiring setting. Centered on olive oil, wine, and the signature flavors of the Provençal terroir, these workshops are crafted to spark curiosity, encourage conversation, and open the senses to the richness of the Alpilles.
Olive oil, the soul of the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence
Home to France’s first olive groves, the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence produces oils with a truly distinctive character—born of an exceptional terroir and shaped by generations of know-how. In France, olive oil consumption has doubled over the past thirty years; it is now a staple in every kitchen, praised for its health benefits, though still often misunderstood.
Joyeuse Provence offers guided, educational workshops on Les Baux-de-Provence PDO oils: learning to smell, taste and put words to perceptions.
It’s also an opportunity to take away simple, practical tools: how to read a label, identify faults, appreciate fruitiness, choose the right oil, and bring it into everyday cooking.
Other formats available
- On-site tasting workshop at your seminar (indoors or outdoors)
- Meeting with a local producer
- Visits to olive mills and wineries
- A curated selection of local products to showcase the region
- Themed sensory workshops (olive oil, wine, honey, olives, etc.)
- Blind tasting game or fun quiz
- Creation of a discovery trail based on the specificities of the terroir through play, the senses and tasting.
Pricing & details
Seminar services start from 550 euros excluding VAT.
Workshops are designed for small groups of no more than 15 people, to ensure true sensory immersion.
Beyond that, the experience loses its finesse and naturally evolves into a conference-tasting, better suited to large groups.
A preliminary discussion enables us to identify your needs and propose a tailor-made format.
