‘Vignobles en Scène’: Dinner and Workshops at Lou Calen | 16th–17th October 2026





Dinner Featuring Clos de Caille Wines
Friday, 16th October, 2026, from 7:00 PM
Located in Entrecasteaux, in the heart of “Provence Verte” (Green Provence), Clos de Caille benefits from an exceptional terroir and a unique microclimate, shaped by its altitude and a wooded natural setting on gently sloping terrain. Certified organic, the estate employs ‘massal’ selection method and plot-by-plot vinification – which are rare assets in Provence – all within an innovative winery designed by architect Rudy Ricciotti.
As an historic vineyard with roots dating back to the 12th century, Clos de Caille was revitalized in 2021 with the ambition of becoming a benchmark wine producer in Provence. Since 2023, the estate has been under the technical direction of renowned oenologist Matthieu Cosse. Producing wine in all three colours (red, white, and rosé), its wines have already garnered significant acclaim from international critics. The Anomis Rosé 2025 notably received a score of 92/100 from Robert Parker, while the Clos de Caille Rouge 2024 was also awarded a 92/100 at the Sommeliers Choice Awards.
Driven by the passion of the Mariotti family – established in Monaco since the 1950s – Clos de Caille has made its mark on iconic establishments across the French Riviera and enjoys an international reputation, notably as a global partner for Alain Ducasse’s restaurants.



Mixology workshops: wine meets the art of the cocktail
Friday, 16th October and Saturday, 17th October, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM
Thomas, a mixologist at O’Fadoli, grew up in Provence in a family of spirits producers. A former ‘flair bartending’ competitor with experience at the Beau-Rivage Palace and the Fairmont Monte Carlo, he approaches cocktail-making with the precision of a chef. Passionate about botany, he cultivates some of his own ingredients and gathers wild plants, using their aromas to inspire his creations.
This focus on technique and flavour will guide the two workshops offered as part of ‘Vignobles en Scène’ (Spotlight on Wineries), which explore the role of wine in cocktails. Prosecco allows us to trace the evolution of the Spritz, while the choice of vermouth shapes the character of the Negroni. Prepare to enjoy both recipes to appreciate the role wine plays in balancing these two cocktails!
