Pedaling up the cypress-lined drive to Coquillade, it’s easy to see why Andy Rihs chose this 11th-century Provençal hamlet as the setting for his luxury retreat and winery. The hotel’s late visionary lived by the motto vie, vin, velo—life, wine, bike—and today, Coquillade continues to embody that spirit, serving as a heavenly home base for cyclists exploring the Luberon Valley. The estate’s sparkling, semi-Olympic pool is a truly an oasis, with considered details that delight the senses: the trickle of fountains, the lavender scented breeze, the endless rows of vines, and the warm, gilded light of the French countryside.
