First, path winding through hundred-year-old oaks, ...
as well as pine trees and scrubland. Then, 15th century ruins, the remnants of a time when the property was home to farmers. Farther along, La Bastide, a country house that is warm and welcoming to anyone who steps over its threshold. And, all around, grapevines… as far as the eye can see.
Welcome to Domaine de CALA
Since 2015, Chef Joachim Splichal, founder of the Patina Restaurant Group in Los Angeles, and his team carry on the property’s tradition of winemaking with a balanced range of reds, whites and rosés that tap into the full richness of the terroir. They are guided by one key word: quality.
After an extensive reorganization, Domaine de Cala now spans more than 40 hectares of grapevines and 180 of woodland in the Var countryside. Human hands have developed a vineyard here that combines tradition with innovation, whilst preserving this extraordinary environment. And extracting the very essence of the wine’s distinctive character.
Four centuries of history, a vineyard dotted with hills, plateaus and a few hillside terraces…
Yes, you’re at Domaine de Cala.

A family venture
In 2015, Joachim Splichal visited a place that would change the course of his life: Domaine de Pourraques. Surrounded by a team of wine enthusiasts and assisted by his sons Stéphane and Nicolas, he restructured the vineyard and enhanced its production.
The quality of the rosé was boosted, while white and red made waves with their appearance at the winery.
Partners and friends for over 35 years.
Bruno – simple and passionate, loving and generous – is a monument, but one that continues to grow. Long ago, his grandmother Mariette taught him to make oxtail wrapped in caul fat when others shied away from the task…
