Castillo de Viñuelas hosts weddings, conventions, conferences, brand launches, company dinners, gala dinners and team building for 90 to 1,900 guests. Events take place in three buildings on the Soto de Viñuelas estate: the castle itself, the Pabellón de Caza and the Salón Colonial. The estate covers more than 3,000 hectares at Carretera de Colmenar km 20.9, in Tres Cantos, about 20 km from central Madrid.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells corporate events, brand presentations, conferences, congresses and team building. For a seminar, the Salón Colonial works as a small convention center. Its main building of more than 700 m2 has two rooms of about 250 m2 on the ground floor, Salón Colonial and Invernadero, with high ceilings and daylight, a small meeting room for private lunches or a speakers' room, and a 180-seat auditorium upstairs. A second building between the two gardens holds five rooms for 25 to 100 people, for workshops, training and breakout sessions. Salón Colonial has its own entrance and parking.
For a gala dinner or a convention lunch, the Pabellón de Caza seats up to 600 under brick-vaulted ceilings, and the castle's Mirador de Cristal offers a hall of more than 480 m2 without columns. Audiovisual equipment, lighting, photography, music, transport and decoration can be arranged through the venue.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the business. Civil ceremonies take place in the castle gardens, followed by a cocktail on the panoramic terrace and a banquet in one of the halls. The site states a range of 90 to 1,900 guests across all spaces, one event per day, and parties until 5:00 a.m. The Pabellón de Caza also has a garden for outdoor ceremonies, cocktails and banquets, with indoor halls as a fallback if the weather turns.
Rooms and capacities
The castle has two buildings that can be booked separately or together. The Salones Nobles, an 18th-century building, include a hall, the Sala de Armas, a reception room, the panoramic terrace and a large garden. The Mirador de Cristal is a modern hall of more than 480 m2 without columns, with its own reception terrace, the Patio del Mirador. The Pabellón de Caza seats up to 600 diners. The Salón Colonial has two halls of about 250 m2, a 180-seat auditorium and five meeting rooms for 25 to 100 people.
Accommodation
The official site does not mention bedrooms on the estate.
Catering
Catering is in-house, run by Grupo Life Gourmet with chef Ramón Freixa, who holds two Michelin stars. Menus are designed for each event.
History and setting
The current castle dates from the 18th century, with facades topped by cresting and Gothic gargoyles. The site refers to more than seven centuries of history on the property and to its use as a royal hunting ground visited by kings such as Philip II and Charles III. The estate lies in an area declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2019.
Getting there
The address is Carretera de Colmenar km 20.9, 28760 Tres Cantos, Madrid. The site gives a drive of about 20 minutes from Madrid. Each building has its own access inside the estate and a large private car park. Madrid-Barajas airport is the nearest airport.
