Seminars and company events
Ô Rouge hosts seminars, workshops and residential retreats for up to 22 seated participants, or 40 for a standing cocktail, in a hotel at Gevrey-Chambertin on the Côte de Nuits, about 15 minutes south of Dijon in Burgundy.
The hotel rents its meeting space by the half day, by the full day or as part of a residential stay with overnight rooms. Groups can add a quick or seated lunch, a dinner, a buffet, a cocktail or a barbecue, and the kitchen caters for vegetarian and other diets on request. The setting suits management committees, sales teams and project groups who want a day of work in a wine village rather than in a city center. A typical day starts with coffee on the terrace, continues with a working session in the main room and ends with a tasting before dinner. The spaces can be privatized for a small group.
Rooms and capacities
The main seminar room covers 40 square meters and opens onto its own terrace. It seats up to 22 people and holds 40 for a cocktail. Two smaller rooms of about 15 square meters each serve as breakout spaces for workshops or side meetings. The equipment includes a screen, a sound system and high-speed Wi-Fi. For a larger cocktail, the restaurant room and the terrace add standing space.
Accommodation
The hotel has 21 bedrooms: 20 Standard rooms and one Deluxe Superior. A group of 20 can therefore sleep on site in single occupancy, which keeps a two-day seminar under one roof. The wellness area includes a jacuzzi, a sauna, a heated outdoor pool and rooms for massages and treatments, and it can be booked privately for a group.
Catering
The BistrÔ, the hotel restaurant, cooks traditional dishes from local and seasonal produce, with a chef's menu and set menus built for groups. The bar pours local wines and beers, and sharing boards are served with the aperitif.
History and setting
Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the best-known wine villages of Burgundy, home to nine grand cru vineyards including Chambertin. The hotel uses this setting for team activities: guided tastings with the Grands Bourgogne wine house, a tour of the cellars of Château de Marsannay built around the Climats de Bourgogne with six wines to taste, vineyard walks and petanque in the garden. These activities fill an afternoon after a morning session and work as low-key team building for groups that prefer conversation to competition.
Getting there
Dijon station is about 15 minutes away by car, and the TGV from Paris reaches Dijon in about two hours. From Lyon, the drive takes about one hour and a half by the A6 motorway. The hotel stands on rue de Lavaux in Gevrey-Chambertin.
