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
A staple in every kitchen, olive oil is now as much in demand for its wide range of aromas as for its health benefits. Yet it remains little-known.
While olive oil consumption has doubled in France over the past thirty years, 95 % of the oil consumed in the country is imported. A paradox, when you consider that in the Vallée des Baux-de-Provence, France's leading olive-growing region, olive oils of remarkable typicity are produced. Olive-growing here has been going on since Antiquity, the fruit of an exceptional terroir and a know-how patiently built up and handed down.
To better understand this everyday product, Joyeuse Provence offers educational and sensory workshops on Les Baux-de-Provence PDO olive oil. Learn to taste, put words to your perceptions, understand the notion of fruitiness, recognize a defect, decipher a label...
An invitation to take the time to smell, taste and compare, to better choose your oil and know how to match it in the kitchen.

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.
