A family heritage at the heart of winegrowing excellence
Domaine des 3 Chênes, led by Amandine and Régis Scarone, embodies the alliance of tradition and agricultural innovation.
Winegrowing expertise, passed down from generation to generation, is a pillar of the economy and heritage. To honor this commitment, a delegation from the Association des Membres de l’Ordre du Mérite Agricole (AMOMA) of Var, led by its president Jacques Perrin and accompanied by Élie di Russo, honorary deputy of Hyères, visited Domaine des 3 Chênes, in the Borrels district.
They were welcomed there by Amandine and Régis Scarone, who passionately carry on a family history spanning over a century.
Five generations of expertise
Domaine des 3 Chênes is a family estate passed down through five generations. Amandine Scarone dynamically presented the farm, which extends over lands benefiting from an exceptional terroir.

The estate produces wines under the Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) Côtes de Provence, as well as the Dénomination Géographique Complémentaire (DGC) La Londe. All the vines are worked manually, in compliance with organic farming principles, a guarantee of quality and environmental preservation.
In addition, the estate offers cellar tastings year-round and organized "guinguette" evenings every Friday in June and July.
Its success relies on a close-knit and complementary team. Régis Scarone, owner and winemaker, is also a freediver, a family heritage since his great-grandfather, Fosco, was a deep-sea diver. He is the guardian of traditions and vineyard work.
Amandine drives management and production with a modern, strategic vision. They are supported by Nanou, in charge of wine tourism, and Nicolas, who supervises the operations. Together, they form a group driven by a constant quest for excellence.
A strong commitment to the terroir
Beyond this, Amandine Scarone is actively involved in promoting local products. She is a founding member and president of the Terre d’Hyères producers' shop, a structure for promoting short food supply chains in the region.
A former teacher at the Agricampus agricultural high school, she participated in the creation of an educational vineyard designed to train future generations of winemakers.
Following their visit, Jacques Perrin and Élie di Russo praised “the exemplary commitment of Amandine, a young winemaker from the valley, in favor of Hyères agriculture.” This recognition highlights the crucial role of these family farms in the economic vitality of the region.
