Chateau des Sens, located near the renowned village of St Emilion, is a charming chateau hotel nestled amidst serene vineyards, offering picturesque views over the French countryside. It serves as an enchanting wedding venue near Bordeaux and the Dordogne region.

With its cypress-lined pathways, lush hillsides, and golden stone architecture, Chateau des Sens carries the ambiance of a Tuscan haven.

We, at Chateau Bee, love the chateau’s inviting atmosphere and how the owners have transformed their passion for hospitality into this welcoming wedding destination. Moreover, it is set in a pristine natural setting, complete with a fishing lake, and you may even spot the odd deer roaming on the estate!

The chateau boasts its own restaurant, ensuring a superb wedding dinner experience. The Chef prepares delectable homemade dishes, utilising locally sourced ingredients from the Gironde region.

For your special day, you could have the ceremony in the beautifully landscaped garden, followed by a cocktail reception on the terrace with sweeping countryside vistas.

The wedding dinner can be held either outdoors or indoors in the reception room that can accommodate up to 80 guests.

The day after the celebration, guests can gather by the large pool for a leisurely day in the sun and pool party. The bar team is available all day to craft refreshing cocktails for you all.

Lastly, the estate offers 16 ensuite bedrooms that combine luxury with modern amenities, with two rooms designed for easy access by individuals with reduced mobility.

There is also a helipad on site.

Things to do:

On site, you will have plenty to do as there is a heated pool, a lounge bar, a private forest, a private fishing lake, a kids’ playground and a petanque pitch. French cooking courses could also be arranged! Nearby enjoy wine tastings in the vineyards, explore the buzzing villages of Gironde and Dordogne, do some canoeing, cycling, fishing, archery, or even a treasure hunt!
