Les Sources de Vougeot hosts seminars and residential meetings for up to 60 people in theatre layout, along with private estate hire for family celebrations, in the Château de Gilly at Gilly-lès-Cîteaux, between Dijon and Beaune in Burgundy. The five-star hotel has 49 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a bar and a Caudalie spa on site.
Seminars and company events
Two meeting rooms of 90 m² each, the Salle des Racines and the Salle des Ailes, take 30 people in a U-shape or 60 in theatre layout. With two rooms of the same size, a group can run a plenary and a workshop side by side, or keep one room for sessions and the other for breaks. The hotel publishes a seminar brochure and takes quote requests online. Residential groups sleep in the château, eat in the two restaurants and can end the day at the bar or in the spa. The vineyards of the Côte de Nuits, with the Clos de Vougeot a short walk away, give an obvious theme for tastings and outings.
Weddings and receptions
The events page offers private hire of the estate for birthdays, christenings, family reunions and other private occasions, with tailored organisation. Weddings are not named on the site, so couples should ask the team directly.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle des Racines and the Salle des Ailes measure 90 m² each, for 30 guests in a U-shape or 60 in theatre style. Banquet and cocktail capacities are not published.
Accommodation
The hotel counts 49 rooms and suites. Categories run from Confort and Prestige rooms overlooking the gardens and moats to junior suites, suites and La Vigne Rose, a suite with historic decor, a library and a private bar. Le Moulin, a separate pavilion, sleeps up to five, with a duplex bedroom and a private Nordic bath. Connecting rooms and larger suites suit families.
Catering
Le Clos de la Tour serves contemporary gastronomic cooking, and L'Auberge des Cîteaux offers a more traditional menu. Le Bar du Château completes the offer. The Caudalie spa occupies a vaulted former cellar from the 14th century.
History and setting
The site belonged to a Gallo-Roman landowner in the 6th century, then passed to a Benedictine priory and to the Cistercian monks of Cîteaux. During the Hundred Years' War the priory was fortified and surrounded by moats. After its destruction at the end of the 16th century, the abbots of Cîteaux built a country house with gardens in the 17th century. Renamed Les Sources de Vougeot in 2026 after a restoration, the château is the third hotel of the Les Sources group led by Alice and Jérôme Tourbier, and holds five stars and two Michelin keys. The Climats of Burgundy around it have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015.
