Domaine Grand Cros
Wines from the heart of Provence since 1989
Thirty hectares of family-owned vines and olive groves spanning three hectares. Award-winning rosé, white, red, and sparkling, made on site and shared around the world. A private Provençal estate open for stays, guided visits, and celebrations. Come and see where it begins.
Our Story
The Faulkner family acquired Le Grand Cros in 1989 with a clear philosophy: build an exceptional team, steward the land responsibly, and never stop innovating. In their very first year, that commitment earned four gold medals. More than three decades later, those same three pillars still drive everything the estate produces.
Julian Faulkner runs the estate today, overseeing a lean and deeply experienced team with an average tenure of twenty years, bringing singular expertise across every stage of production. More than three million euros have been invested in the estate since 2015, across the winery, the bottling line, the vineyards, and pioneering new techniques. Le Grand Cros continues to push the boundaries of what Provençal wine can be.

Celebrations
Your celebration, set among the vines.
Terraces, gardens, and open vineyard views form the backdrop. The wine is made here on site. Guests can stay in the manor house, dine under the century-old olive trees, and take their time. There are no imposed packages and no set menus. Just the estate, your people, and a long table in Provence. We have hosted weddings, milestone birthdays, and private gatherings for guests arriving from across the world. Each one is different. Each one remembered.
A private stay in Provence.
The manor house, set among 24 hectares of vines.
Wake up among the vines, spend the day by the pool, and sit down to long evenings under the trees. The manor house is not a hotel. It is a working wine estate with rooms, a kitchen garden, olive trees over a hundred years old, and enough space to properly slow down. The Faulkner family have been here since the 1980s. That sense of home is still very much part of the experience.
Visits
Come and see how it is made.
Walk the vines, visit the cellar, and taste the wines where they were born. Julian and the team will take you through the full story, from the soil to the glass. You will see the bottling plant, the winery, and the estate grounds. Relaxed, personal, and unhurried. No coach parties. No scripts. Just an honest look at how thirty-five years of winemaking actually works.
