Château de Granoupiac hosts company seminars, team building, meetings, weddings and family celebrations, with a main hall that seats 300 and a smaller room for up to 50. The estate lies at Saint-André-de-Sangonis in the Hérault, close to the A750 motorway and about 20 minutes from Montpellier.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells seminars, team-building days, meetings and workshops, and also hosts Christmas parties for staff. The Petite Salle suits a working session of up to 50 seated participants. It has a large interactive screen, speakers and microphones, so it works for presentations and video calls. Larger groups can hold a plenary or a gala dinner in the Grande Salle. The outdoor spaces give room for team activities. A brochure with spaces, services and rates is sent on request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the other main use. Ceremonies can take place in the ceremony garden, on the balcony of the wine cellar or in the large meadow. The courtyard of honor serves for the drinks reception, a cocktail or an outdoor dinner, and the covered préau next to it seats 160 and acts as a fallback in bad weather. Dinner and dancing move to the Grande Salle, while the Petite Salle can become a children's room, a cloakroom or an entertainment room. An orangery and the gardens are used for couple portraits. Birthdays, baptisms, concerts and banquets are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
The Grande Salle, about 300 m², seats 300 guests. It occupies the old chai, where the wine was once aged in large casks. The Petite Salle, known as the Vieux Four room, seats 50. Outside, the préau seats 160 under cover, and the courtyard, the ceremony garden, the cellar balcony and the meadow add open-air options.
Accommodation
Two gîtes sleep up to 22 people in all. Le Mas, a 150 m² building from the 17th century attached to the château, sleeps 14 in five sleeping areas: a twin room on the ground floor, three double rooms upstairs and a dormitory with three bunk beds in the former dovecote. La Petite Maison, 90 m², sleeps 8 in four bedrooms. Both have a fitted kitchen.
Catering
The estate does not cook. The Grande Salle has a caterer's area with a cold room, a worktop, a freezer and a clearing station, plus private toilets and changing rooms for the catering team. The estate also produces wine from its own vineyard.
History and setting
The domain of Saint-Pierre de Granoupiac appears in records from the early 10th century, including the cartulary of Aniane. In the 17th century it belonged to the Marquis de Saint-Félix. The Delpon de Vaux family has owned it since 1850. The estate covers 37 hectares, with 8 hectares of woodland and 25 hectares of vines farmed organically, on the edge of the Hérault river.
Getting there
The estate is close to the A750 between Montpellier and Lodève, about 20 minutes from Montpellier. A private car park holds 200 cars, and the access road takes buses and heavy trucks. The site is accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Animals are not allowed except by prior agreement with the owner.
