PROVENCE
With Chef Chintan Pandya
Sept 18 - Sept 21, 2025
"I’ve traveled the world for culinary experiences, but nothing prepared me for Provence with Savienne. Chef Chintan’s cooking was electrifying - familiar flavors reimagined with such precision and joy that every dish felt like a revelation. One moment we were tasting saffron-laced broths in a sun-drenched courtyard, and the next we were laughing under the stars with winemakers who felt like old friends. It wasn’t a dinner. It was a world I never wanted to leave."
— A. Deshpande, London
"What I appreciated most was the intimacy. Fifty guests, yet somehow it felt like the weekend was crafted for me alone. Chef Chintan’s dishes were bold, soulful, and wildly personal - the kind of food that makes you pause mid-sentence. By the final night, strangers had become friends, and the villa felt like home. I’ve never experienced hospitality like this. Savienne sets a new bar."
— M. Peretti, Miami
"Savienne didn’t just host an event - they created a universe. From horseback rides through the vineyards to the long, languid lunches overlooking lavender fields, every detail felt effortless and intentional. Chef Chintan cooked like he was telling us a story, each course more surprising than the last. I left Provence feeling nourished, connected, and honestly, a little transformed."
— S. Lowenstein, New York
"Provence felt like stepping into a film - every vista, every meal, every glass of wine perfectly framed. Chef Chintan’s menus were masterful, fearless, and full of emotion. I’ve dined at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, but I’ve never experienced cuisine presented with this level of intimacy and narrative. Savienne has redefined what travel and dining can be."
— J. Hirsh, San Francisco
"The magic of Savienne is the way they dissolve the line between guest and experience. One moment I was chatting with Chef Chintan as he grilled over open flames, and the next I was tasting wines beside the very vines they were grown on. Nothing felt staged - it felt alive, spontaneous, and deeply human. Provence changed my understanding of hospitality forever."
— E. Carmichael, Toronto
"The villa itself was staggering - set high above the Gulf of St. Tropez with views that seemed to melt into the sea. Each morning, sunlight poured across the terraces, and by afternoon we were out on the water, boating along the coastline with chilled rosé, music, and laughter carrying across the waves. We danced, we swam, we sipped wine beneath the sun, and returned to a home that felt like our own private Provençal kingdom. Savienne didn’t just choose a villa; they chose a backdrop for joy."
— L. Moreau, Paris
"Each night felt like a different chapter in the same beautiful story. One dinner unfolded on the villa terrace overlooking the Gulf of St. Tropez, candlelight flickering over dishes that left us speechless. The next took place among the vines, long tables set beneath the open sky as Chintan cooked with fire and soul. Every meal was a celebration - of place, of flavor, of the people around us."
— A. Kessler, Berlin
"What made this trip extraordinary were the contrasts Savienne curated so effortlessly - elegant dinners at the villa with sea views one night, rustic, wood-fired feasts in the vineyards the next. Each setting felt like it belonged in a magazine, yet nothing felt staged. The food carried us, the wine connected us, and by the end, it was impossible to tell where the landscape ended and the experience began."
— N. Hayes, Chicago
"The dinners alone justified the journey. At the villa, we dined under lanterns as the gulf shimmered below; in the vines, we ate surrounded by lavender and laughter, passing bottles of rosé like old friends. It wasn’t just remarkable food - it was choreography. Time slowed, conversations deepened, and suddenly it was 2 AM and no one wanted to leave the table."
— F. Duarte, Lisbon
"I’ve never seen meals used as architecture for connection the way Savienne does. One evening felt cinematic - a dinner at the villa that turned into dancing and stargazing. The next night, long tables stretched through the vineyard, the air perfumed with grilled herbs and wildflowers. Each dinner somehow topped the last, and each person I met felt like someone I was meant to know. Provence became a feeling I still can’t shake."
— H. Brooks, Austin
