Dappled in the late afternoon sun, Domaine de Vavril – just an hour from Lyon International Airport – exudes rustic charm and vineyard appeal. With a deep history going back to the Middle Ages, this Domaine was lovingly restored in the early 2000’s to its former glory. Domaine de Vavril isn’t just a venue, guests are encouraged to make the Domaine their own family home for the duration of their event. To fully soak up the atmosphere and surroundings, the Domaine offers a 3 night, 4 day package, allowing you to have a long weekend full of freedom, privacy, and serenity.
Vineyards, Valleys, & the Old Wine Press Room
Arrive on a Thursday or Friday and begin your celebrations with a welcome dinner on the newly designed terrace, where you can watch the magnificent sunset over the vines. With an outdoor bar and elegant pellet patio heaters, it’s an idyllic setting to kick off the festivities.
On the wedding day, your ceremony can take place in the south-facing garden adjacent to the fountain and cypress trees with views of the rolling vineyards. Next, the cocktail hour will be held on the upper terrace, in the shade of the fragrant lime trees.
The stone reception room, clad with timber framing, can accommodate up to 150 guests, or 120 with a dance floor. If you’re looking for something more intimate, the Old Wine Press Room can accommodate 60 guests within its cozy stone walls, also perfect for the cocktail party during inclement weather.
To make planning simple, Domaine de Vavril has carefully selected eight trusted caterers, so you can find the perfect flavours to suit your celebration.
On the day after, extend the magic with a relaxed brunch and a lively pool party.
