Château d'Estoublon can be hired in full for seminars, executive committee meetings, conferences, VIP stays and weddings, with 10 suites and rooms for guests staying over. The château stands on an estate of more than 200 hectares of vines and olive groves in Fontvieille, near the Alpilles in Provence, and is run in the hospitality style of the Airelles collection.
Seminars and company events
The château takes executive committee meetings, seminars, conferences and VIP stays, with services adapted to each group. A dedicated team organizes activities around the work sessions, from sport and relaxation to food and wine. For a leadership team, the natural format is a residential retreat: the house, its 10 suites and rooms, a private chef and butlers, used by one group only. For a client dinner or a launch, La Table d'Estoublon and its terrace can be booked privately for a professional event, with help from the team on the organization. The estate also runs wine and olive oil tastings, estate visits and food and wine pairings, which can fit between two working sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The château offers weddings with exclusive use of the property: a ceremony at the foot of the grand staircase, dinner in the gardens and a party under the open sky. The couple and their families can stay in the 10 suites and rooms. The restaurant and its terrace can also host a rehearsal dinner or a smaller private reception.
Rooms and capacities
The château offers 1,500 m² over two floors, with indoor and outdoor spaces. The restaurant occupies the estate's former barrel cellar, an air-conditioned room under vaulted ceilings, and its terrace sits under olive trees, pergolas and a large plane tree. The site gives no guest capacity for events, so numbers are set with the events team.
Accommodation
The château has 10 suites and rooms, each decorated differently, and a pool. Exclusive hire includes the service of a private chef and butlers, and stays are planned to measure for each group.
Catering
La Table d'Estoublon, led by chef Emmanuel De Oliveira, who trained in starred kitchens, serves Provençal cooking built on the estate's organic kitchen garden, its wines and its olive oils. The menu follows the seasons, with dishes such as Alpilles lamb, artichokes barigoule, an Estoublon bouillabaisse and Crau beef. During an exclusive stay, a private chef cooks at the château. Outside private events, the restaurant serves lunch daily and dinner on Fridays and Saturdays.
History and setting
Estoublon is a working wine and olive oil estate between Fontvieille and the Alpilles. It makes its own wines and olive oils, sold at the estate shop, and the organic kitchen garden supplies the restaurant. The house is listed as a historic monument.
Getting there
The château is in Fontvieille, 13990, a short drive from Arles. Groups usually arrive through Avignon TGV station or Marseille Provence airport and continue by road.
