erge set up shop in an old 16th century maison

bourgeoise nearly 40 years ago. Over time, he’s

created a warm and welcoming spot where wine and

truffles play a major role.

inestimable treasures lie hidden, this restaurant offers

casual fine dining, bistronomie. Chez Serge works its

magic on the freshest of uniquely seasonal produce, and

the wine list is jaw-droppingly extensive and diverse.

Serge is an ambassador for excellent cuisine of course, but

above all for the cuisine of the Ventoux! "is giant in the

middle of Provence has exceptional climactic conditions

for growing grapes. "e winegrowers of the Ventoux

appellation know how best to take advantage of this, and

behind each wine there’s a story reflecting the land where

its grapes were cultivated. At Chez Serge, you discover

each and every one of the stories behind the men and

women who work the land.

"ere’s a recent addition to the restaurant: a wine bar. "e

boards of regional charcuterie and cheese on offer come

with small plates featuring truffles, and there’s always a

new wine to discover. At the wine bar, the truffle is king,

whether it’s the Tuber aestivum (summer truffle), the Tuber

uncinatum (autumn truffle) or the Tuber melanosposrum

(winter truffle).

Come and stay at Chez Serge, two charming bed and

breakfasts in the heart of Carpentras. "e only thing to

spoil your stay could be the heady scent of truffles!
