The history of the estate goes back to the 16th century after the prelate of the pontifical government,  had its headquarters in Carpentras. He built the bastide on a Tuscan-style, according to its origins. The religious character of the building is still present by its interior chapel dating from this period as well as the mighty pergola made from 40 pillars made from Crillon stone, leading to a spring flowing under a centenary oak,  favourable to prayer and meditation.
 

The Château la Croix des Pins was one of the first in the areas to obtain the "Organic" label in 1998.
