Domaine du Colombier hosts seminars, study days, product launches and weddings in a 14th-century bastide at Malataverne, in the Drôme Provençale. Meeting rooms take 12 to 40 people, weddings up to 80 guests, and the whole estate can be hired exclusively. The hotel has 21 rooms and 4 suites, so a residential seminar stays on site.
Seminars and company events
The estate offers dedicated, fully equipped rooms in a four-hectare park, with breaks on the terrace or in the gardens. Formats listed include residential seminars, study days, product launches with or without a cocktail, training sessions and team-building workshops. Teams can add a pétanque game after the sessions or a wine tasting of the estate's own wines. Companies that want the whole place can hire it exclusively and use all bedrooms, the heated outdoor pool, the park and the gardens.
Weddings and receptions
The estate welcomes weddings of up to 80 guests. Depending on the number, a dinner can be served in the Michelin-starred restaurant, a cocktail in the patio courtyard, and a wine reception in the gardens or by the outdoor pool. The team works with partners for music, flowers and photography. Exclusive hire is also possible for weddings, so guests spend several days on site.
Rooms and capacities
Three meeting rooms are listed. L'Oliveraie holds up to 40 people. Les Amoureuses holds up to 14 and Le Liby up to 12, which suits steering committees and workshops. Surfaces and layouts are not published, so ask the events team for the room plans.
Accommodation
The five-star hotel has 21 rooms and 4 suites, each named after a grape variety, in seven categories. The estate's wine property, Les Amoureuses, is at Bourg-Saint-Andéol. Stone walls, thick vaults and natural materials define the rooms. Outside, the park has centuries-old olive trees, a 450 m² aromatic herb garden, a 1,700 m² vegetable garden and a pool heated to 28°C from May to October. A wellness area is also on site.
Catering
There are three tables in the group. Le Colombier, the gastronomic restaurant, holds one Michelin star in the 2026 guide. Le Bistrot 270, a Bib Gourmand, faces the park and pool. Le Comptoir du Colombier is in Bourg-Saint-Andéol. Seminar catering is adapted to the group's needs and budget, and the estate cellar lists 850 wines.
History and setting
The bastide was built in the 14th century as a stop on pilgrimage routes. It keeps its pale stone vaults, thick walls and a shaded patio. The Bedel family restored it. The park covers four hectares and is planted with olive trees and cypresses.

The estate is on Chemin de Malombre, five minutes from the A7 motorway and ten minutes from Montélimar. Montélimar railway station is 15 minutes away, with Paris by TGV in 2 h 45 and Lyon in 1 h 35.
