Seminars and study days for 6 to 140 people, and weddings for up to 140 guests, can be held here with the whole estate privatized. Château des Vierres stands among 9 hectares of vines and greenery at Lantignié, in the Beaujolais, 45 minutes from Lyon.
Seminars and company events
Three modular rooms are equipped with a video projector, a screen, a flip chart, Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Companies choose between a turnkey seminar, where the team prepares breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches and dinners, and a self-managed or partly managed stay. Menus are adapted to dietary needs in the turnkey format. Team building options include an escape game, a nature rally, cycling through the vineyards and wine tasting, coordinated on site. For residential seminars, four houses sleep up to 30 people in twin or double rooms. The owners stay available without hovering, so groups can use the estate at their own pace. A seminar brochure and a site visit can be requested.
Weddings and receptions
Two spaces serve for secular ceremonies: one under two century-old plane trees facing the vines, the other with Mont Brouilly in the background. The reception takes place in La Galerie, with dancing extended into Le Clos. Couples choose their own suppliers from a list of local caterers already used on the estate; fireworks are the one exception and must go through the estate's approved provider. There is no corkage fee, so couples can bring their own wine. Bed linen, towels, cleaning and three baby kits are included, and the swimming pool is open to guests for a Friday evening or Sunday morning brunch.
Rooms and capacities
La Galerie is the largest room: 193 square meters, air-conditioned and heated, with bay windows giving a 180-degree view over the vineyards. It takes 80 in theatre, 40 in U and 140 at a banquet, and has a fully equipped catering area and a separate children's room. Le Clos, with exposed stone walls and three wide openings onto the main room, holds 40 in theatre, 30 in U and 50 at a banquet. The Grand Salon in the Maison de Maître seats up to 15 for a board meeting, in theatre, U or banquet layout. The Petit Salon serves as a break room. A 210-square-meter marquee, on a raised floor with electricity, adds covered space or a fallback for bad weather.
Accommodation
The Maison de Maître, 300 square meters, has seven bedrooms and a small extra room for 15 people. The Champêtre house sleeps nine, the New York-themed house six, and the Rustique farmhouse, renovated in 2023 and offered only with full privatization, has four bedrooms. For weddings the estate lists beds for up to 51 people, and a list of nearby lodgings for extra guests.
Catering
For seminars, meals can be prepared by the estate team or by the group itself. For weddings, couples hire the caterer of their choice; La Galerie has a fully equipped caterer's area. Beaujolais wines from independent partner growers can be tasted in the vaulted cellar on request.
History and setting
The estate was built in two stages between 1867 and 1869, first the U-shaped farm and then the Maison de Maître, for François-Félix Berloty, a Lyon notary who died two years after the works ended. It long remained a family home, then was left empty for some years. The current owners, a couple who previously worked in business and weddings, renovated it from 2021 and added an extension in 2024 to receive up to 140 guests.
Getting there
The château is at 1 chemin des Vierres, Lantignié, about 45 minutes from Lyon. The estate gives two hours from Paris for seminar groups.
