Why we love this venue

The courtyard right on the river where you can dine under the stars

This newly renovated 17th-century château sits proudly on the river Dordogne not far from St Emilion and the city of Bordeaux. The property houses up to 60 on site so that a large group can all stay together – the penthouse suites overlooking the river are breath-taking.

Nestled within a tranquil 3-hectare private park on the banks of the Dordogne River, this idyllic setting is just 22km from the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion and one hour from Bordeaux.

Event spaces include the lovely orangery, barn and courtyard overlooking the river. Perfect for next day pool parties too with it’s own food truck and large garden poolside area.

The venue can also be rented alongside the Vineyard Villa as they are neighbours and this allows you to house 80 guests.

Sleep up to 60 guests across beautifully appointed spaces: 5 apartments (including a stunning penthouse bridal suite) and 21 ensuite bedrooms. The château welcomes wedding parties of up to 100 guests for your ceremony and reception.

The elegant riverside terrace, framed on three sides by the château, flows seamlessly into the light-filled orangerie and spacious reception rooms—perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The historic barn, with its unique character and atmosphere, becomes a magical space for dancing with a terrace for when you need to get some fresh air before hitting the dance floor again.

What our Newlyweds say

Just wanted to say a big thanks for your efforts over the last few days.

We certainly have covered a lot but it has made us feel really confident and happy with our choice of going with MMIF. You’ve been incredibly thorough and professional and we’ve thought all the suppliers have been great. It was also lovely for you to have met Darcy and coax a giggle out of her! :) Thierry was fine (for a French wineman, with a sore hip ;) and we covered a lot. I took a few bottles home (‘sampling’ now), so I imagine there will be some further discussion but we have a pretty good idea now. The Villa looked brilliant this afternoon so we are pretty excited to be spending 4 days there!
