The Rossier family wine estate in Lavigny, in the canton of Vaud, rents out two reception rooms: the Domaine des Remans room in Lavigny for about 50 to 60 guests and the Cave du Chaffard room in Aubonne for about 20. The family says the rooms suit weddings, birthdays, company meals, private tastings and seminars.
Seminars and company events
The smaller room, at the Cave du Chaffard in Aubonne, is described as modern and holds about 20 people. The estate lists private tastings, seminars, birthdays and year-end celebrations among its uses. It has Wi-Fi, a bar and a fully equipped kitchen, which makes it practical for a small team workshop followed by a tasting.
The larger Lavigny room at the Domaine des Remans is offered for company meals as well as family events. It has audio-visual installations and Wi-Fi, so a short presentation before a dinner is possible.
Weddings and receptions
The Domaine des Remans room is presented for weddings and birthdays and seats about 50 to 60 people. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a large car park, a children's play area and a smoking area. A wedding party can therefore arrive by car, cook or receive a caterer on site, and keep children occupied outside.
Rooms and capacities
The Domaine des Remans room, at Chemin de Renolly 14 in Lavigny, takes about 50 to 60 seated guests. The Cave du Chaffard room in Aubonne takes about 20 people. The official pages do not give floor areas, table layouts or ceiling heights, so organisers should ask for a plan when they send a request.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation at the estate. Guests who need to stay overnight should look for hotels in the surrounding towns.
Catering
Both rooms have a fully equipped kitchen. The official pages do not describe an in-house catering offer or menus, so plan on a caterer of your choice, or on a wine tasting served by the estate. The family sells its own wines, from Chasselas of the Lavigny and Féchy slopes to Pinot Gris, red blends, rosé and eaux-de-vie, which can be matched to the event.
History and setting
The estate is run by Joëlle and the Rossier family, who say they have worked as winemakers for about 30 years. The vineyard stretches from Lavigny to Féchy and is planted mostly with Chasselas, with Pinot Gris and a range of reds. The family also holds open days in spring and at the end of the year, which shows how they welcome visitors.
Getting there
The Domaine des Remans is at Chemin de Renolly 14, 1175 Lavigny. The Cave du Chaffard in Aubonne is open on Monday and Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., or by appointment. The estate can be reached on 079 327 72 76, and requests for a room should say the date, the number of guests and the type of event.
