An Epicurian Paradise
The Bargemon region is known for its olive groves and olive oil production. You can visit the olive mills in the surrounding areas and learn more about the history and importance of the olive tree and the nutritional value of its products. Much has been said and written about the health benifits of olive oil and the Mediterranean cuisine in general. At Mas Kailash we usually (nature has the last word) have our own olive oil and homemade olives en saumure.

Just 10 km to the south of Bargemon starts the famous wine region of the Côtes de Provence. More and more growers here are offering organic wines. All through summer many of the Wine Domains organise art and music festivals, so you can go on a wine tasting tour with an artistic and musical flavour.
*******
The region is also known for its honey production, especially honey from Sarriette de montagne and lavender, which is so carefully collected by our busy bees.
