Château de Garde hosts weddings, seminars, training sessions, conferences, conventions and company evenings, for up to 120 guests at a seated dinner and 150 at a cocktail or conference. It sleeps up to 40 people across the château, a farmhouse and a dormitory. The estate stands among 6 hectares of its own vines at Moulon, in the Gironde, 35 minutes from Bordeaux and 10 km from Saint-Émilion.
Seminars and company events
The team builds each event to the client's brief, with one coordinator for the company or its agency. The reception room takes 150 in conference layout, 80 in cabaret style and 120 at a banquet. The château dining room suits a meeting of 25, a U-shape of 20 or a cocktail of 30. Outside, the garden takes 20 in classroom layout or 150 at a cocktail. Wi-Fi, a flip chart and a video projector are provided. Partner caterers handle breaks, business meals and cocktails, and the team connects groups with partners for sports, arts, nature or wellness activities. Participants can stay on site.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core of the business. The estate is hired exclusively, for a full weekend at least: keys are handed over on Friday afternoon and returned on Sunday in the late afternoon, and weekdays can be added for guests coming from abroad. From April to October, the package covers three days and two nights. The secular ceremony can take place in the park, under the covered préau facing the vines, or in the patio for a small wedding. In summer, the wine reception is served in the park, with covered options in bad weather. Dinner is served in the reception room, which has a dance floor. Music must stop at 10 p.m. outdoors and at 4 a.m. inside. Options include starry-sky ceilings, breakfast service, furniture hire and wine bottles personalized with the couple's names.
Rooms and capacities
The reception room has exposed stone walls and solid oak floors and is accessible to guests with disabilities. It comes with 10 wooden tables and 120 wooden chairs. The château has three salons, a kitchen and a dining room for 30. The préau is a covered space facing the vines. The patio, with four palm trees and a central fountain, suits a small ceremony.
Accommodation
The château has six bedrooms with 12 to 20 beds, using six doubles or twelve singles and eight extra beds. The Maison du Métayer has five bedrooms and two mezzanines with 14 to 20 beds and a kitchen. The Annexe, in the patio, is a wooden dormitory with five alcoves and a shared bathroom. All bedrooms are air-conditioned.
Catering
The estate rents the venue only and has no in-house caterer. You are free to choose your caterer and other suppliers; the team shares a list of recommended caterers and helps find providers on request.
History and setting
The estate is run by Céline and Dimitri, who also manage other reception venues in France. They reunited the property with its 6 hectares of vines and its historic outbuildings, including the Maison du Métayer. The first Rosé de Garde came out in 2025, and two red cuvées followed in 2026. Since 2024, a heated infinity pool of 18 by 4 meters overlooks the vines. The park is laid out around a cedar more than 100 years old.
Getting there
The château is at 3 route de Garde in Moulon. Bordeaux is 35 minutes away by car and Saint-Émilion 10 km. From Paris, allow about 3 hours by TGV and car.
