Chateau La Coste Wine Estate, Aix-en-Provence

Château La Coste is a wine estate, a contemporary art center and a luxury hotel and restaurants. Along a route through the vineyards are works by different artists. A music pavilion regularly hosts artists and musical concerts.

In 2004, Paddy McKillen, an Irish collector, planned to transform the Château La Coste wine estate into a center for contemporary art. Guest artists and architects have carte blanche to create an artistic work on the location of their choice.

Jean Nouvel is in charge of designing a set of cellars and Frank Gehry a music pavilion.

In 2011, the estate was opened to the public and offered an art center, a bookstore and a restaurant.

In April 2018, a new gastronomic restaurant is opening within the Domaine headed by Argentinian chef Francis Mallmann.

In 2022, a pavilion designed by Oscar Niemeyer will complete the cellars by Jean Nouvel , the pavilions by Tadao Ando and Richard Rogers , the auditorium by Frank Gehry and the mini-museum dug into the ground by Renzo Piano.
