PROVENCE
With Chef Chintan Pandya
Sept 18 - Sept 21, 2025
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
