Between modernity and authenticity, this exceptional haven of peace draws all its aromatic richness from nature to create balanced wines and olive oils.

Our history

A renaissance in the heart of the Alpilles

Created in the early 1990s, Domaine du Vallon des Glauges enjoyed a veritable renaissance when Pascal Oddo and his daughter Lorraine, captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the site, decided to breathe new life into this exceptional place in 2015. Passionate about wine and driven by the desire to reveal the full potential of this terroir, they embarked on an ambitious winemaking adventure.

The Oddo family replanted over 20 hectares of vines, completely reorganized the winery, modernized the offices and tasting room, and restructured the entire architecture of the estate. Building on this transformation, they are also developing wine tourism, sharing their passion and know-how with visitors from all over the world.

Domaine ODDO Vallon des Glauges is the founding project of the Oddo family and marks the beginning of a winegrowing adventure that has led to the creation of the international Oddo Vins & Domaines Group. Their philosophy is based on a simple principle: select the best terroirs and surround yourself with the most prestigious partners in world-renowned appellations.

Domaine ODDO Vallon des Glauges has been practicing integrated viticulture since the very beginning, with the aim of preserving this exceptional land and developing it as much as possible.

In 2020, the Domaine began its conversion to organic farming with a real commitment to terroir, which was completed in 2023. This organic farming ensures complete harmony between the needs of the vines and the ecosystem.

Protecting biodiversity is at the heart of the Domaine's commitments. From tilling the soil to to winemaking. We make our own green manures, and graze sheep to encourage the development the development of micro-organisms necessary for the vines' growth. Meticulous pruning and harvesting at the coolest times of the day enable us to control the quality of our grapes.

Between vineyards, olive groves and garrigues, we welcome beehives, favouring pollination.. The Domaine produces olive oil and rosemary honey.

Our commitment

Organic farming

In the heart of a rare botanical flora and protected fauna, the Domaine is located in a valley that naturally preserves the vineyard and provides it with significant natural ventilation. The unique terroir of the Domaine du Vallon des Glauges, which we wanted to keep intact, is ideal for the production of wines and olive oils of character. The recent installation of beehives also enables us to produce high-quality local honey close to the Domaine.

Surrounded by a mineral nature, combined with a Mediterranean climate, the vineyard, located on the ancient bed of the Durance river, benefits from an exceptional terroir.

Part of the estate is located on very rocky slopes close to the Tour des Opies, the highest point in the Alpilles region, which produce highly aromatic berries while retaining a high mineral content, enabling the wines to develop a long finish.

They border on the IGP Alpilles and AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellations. The Domaine also produces AOP Vallée des Baux olive oil.
