Whether you’re seated on their peaceful terrace, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, or inside the beautifully restored stone building, there’s a magical quality to this place that makes every meal feel special.

What really sets Château Olive et Raisin apart is its menu, which changes frequently to reflect the seasons and the best local ingredients.
