Conviviality
Revealing the region'sArt de Vivre and heritage is also about emotion.
The emotion of a glass shared with friends, of communion to the rhythm of music or the discovery of local produce. Château l'Hospitalet Wine Resort Beach & Spa, the group's headquarters and an exceptional venue, is entirely dedicated to the MediterraneanArt de Vivre : a showcase for parties, dinners and convivial gatherings for wine lovers.
For over 20 years, the Jazz Festival has played host to the greatest French and international artists, setting the starry nights of L'Hospitalet ablaze and contributing to the development of local culture and tourism.
Jazz is to music what terroir is to wine
For 5 days of festivities, the courtyard of the estate offers a unique and intimate setting for the concerts, welcoming some 1,500 spectators each evening.
Every Friday, throughout the year, jazz bands perform in succession for dinner concerts with food, wine and jazz pairings. Since its creation, the artists have been selected by Gérard Bertrand in collaboration with Dominique Rieux (Big Band Brass).
The Vendanges weekend in September and the Fête de la Taille et de la Truffe in December are two not-to-be-missed occasions for sharing convivial moments around wine.
Conviviality is also the exceptional Experience of a 5* Wine Resort Hotel, a rotisserie, a beach establishment and a gourmet Restaurant in the heart of a working vineyard...a voyage of discovery of the region's wonders.
