Johnny Depp Buys His Girlfriend A Vineyard

Filed under: Estates, Wine, Celebrity Shopping

Johnny Depp is enough to make any wine-loving woman swoon. The sexy pirate is not only a knowledgeable oenophile but now he as bought his long-time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis her own vineyard. The couple already live in France but now Depp has bought a property in Plan de la Tour, a village in the Massif des Maures hills near St. Tropez. The gift was to celebrate Paradis' new album, Divinidylle. Decanter reports that the new land is close to a villa the couple share and that they have often been seen in the area. Paradis may even take part in the village's annual wine fête.

It's not known if the land is really a vineyard, though. Decanter spoke with someone from the local wine co-operative, Les Fouleurs de Saint Pons, who said that the estate bought by Depp does not contain winemaking facilities, and that it may have some vines but that they haven't received any grapes from there.
