Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon have been spending the summer at Chateau Miraval, the French winery the actor once shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
The 60-year-old Fight Club star and 49-year-old actress have been in a years-long contentious divorce battle with the estate at the center.
While Pitt has done some solo traveling this season, including a stop in Lake Cuomo to visit close friend George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney, he has carved out pockets of time to spend with de Ramon at the winery, Page Six reported on Friday.
According to the outlet, he was also seen motorcycling in Iceland and has been working on his forthcoming movie, F1.
Brad and Ines, who have been an item since late 2022, have not made many public appearances together.

Brad and ex Angelina tied the knot at Maraval in 2014, years after they'd been an item.
They share six children — Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
The former couple's bitter legal battle over the chateau continued in court on August 1 after Jolie's side filed a new motion.
They purchased the Correns, France retreat for around $60 million in 2012, according to People.
And the Hollywood A-listers even held their 2014 wedding on the grounds of the sprawling property.
It came after they bought a controlling stake in the vineyard in 2008. Jolie sold her portion in October 2021, sparking ire from Brad.
Pitt claims that Jolie made the sale in spite of their prior deal that neither would sell their stake unless the other approved.
Per legal documents obtained by People in February 2022, the Maleficent actress auctioned off her portion to Tenute del Mondo of the manufacturer Stoli Group.

In turn, Pitt claims that Jolie's former investment company Nouvel owed his company Mondo Bongo the right of first refusal.
Following their breakup, Brad has a strained relationship with his and Angelina's kids.
Several of them have dropped his last name from their monikers recently, with Zahara being the first.
Vivienne and Shiloh followed suit and the longtime leading man now has 'virtually no contact' with his adult children.

'He has virtually no contact with the adult kids. His engagement with the younger kids is more limited in recent months because of his filming schedule,' an insider shared with People magazine earlier this summer.
Angelina filed for divorce from the actor in 2019 after five years of marriage.
They later entered into an acrimonious back-and-forth over NDA's, which have become a key point in their fight.
Jolie has asked Pitt to 'end the fighting' and drop the lawsuit against her to allow their family to 'heal.'
But sources told DailyMail.com that the Babel star 'has no intention' of dropping it, alleging that Jolie only made the plea after realizing that she does not have as strong a case as she previously thought.
'Brad is not going to drop this lawsuit – why would he? This was a very standard business dispute but unfortunately, Angelina has consistently introduced personal elements that are meant for a divorce court,' a person close to the situation revealed.
