A local brewery to discover during your vacation at Camping l’Artaudois

When we think of Provence, we often think of rosé wine, olive oil or aromatic herbs… but the region is also home to quality craft beers! Among them, La Bière des Îles d’Or has carved out a special place for itself thanks to its creativity, local roots and passion for taste. Located in Hyères, this brewery is a favorite address for craft beer lovers, easy to reach from Camping l’Artaudois.

🌿 A craft brewery deeply rooted deeply rooted in its region

La Bière des Îles d’Or is first and foremost the story of a brewery shaped to the rhythm of the Mediterranean and the Var climate. The adventure began in 2015, when Sandrine and Marcel, passionate restaurateurs, decided to take on a daring gamble: create a local craft beer, at a time when this type of production is still very discreet in the region.

Driven by their attachment to Hyères, they set up their production site here. Their son Antoine soon joined the adventure, helping to develop the new recipes. Keen to preserve a 100% local identity, they called on Monsieur Z, a well-known artist in the south, to create a brand image that was instantly recognizable and perfectly in tune with the brewery’s Mediterranean spirit.

Thanks to this blend of passion, authenticity and creativity, Bière des Îles d’Or now occupies a place of choice in the Var region. In addition to their characterful beers, the brewery also offers artisanal lemonades and gourmet colas, perfect for a convivial moment with the flavors of the South.

🍺 Tasting & tour: an experience to live

Bière des Îles d’Or doesn’t just produce beer: it also offers on-site tastings, ideal for discovering the nuances between each style. In some of their cafés/outlets, you can sample several beers on draught or in tasting format, often accompanied by charcuterie boards, local produce or food-beer pairings.

Brewery tours, when organized, offer a fascinating insight into the brewing process, from the choice of malts and hops to bottling. It’s an opportunity to understand what makes the unique personality of a Var craft beer.
