Château Mentone in Saint-Antonin-du-Var hosts study days, conventions, residential seminars, incentives, private events and weddings for 10 to 200 guests. The organic wine estate has five event spaces, from a 25 square meter dining room to a 235 square meter hall, plus 21 double rooms and its own restaurant, in Provence Verte between Marseille and Nice.
Seminars and company events
The estate positions itself for formats from a confidential meeting to a large convention. Events can be held at the château itself or at the Mas du Moulin, an independent lodging on the estate. The conference room, called the sub-commission room, covers 90 square meters and divides into two spaces. Lounges and terraces complete the offer. Technical equipment includes Wi-Fi, a video projector and sound. The team organizes catering and accommodation, so a residential seminar can run on one site.
Between sessions, teams can choose from a tennis tournament, an evening of pétanque, time at the spa, a tasting of the estate's organic wines, outdoor team games, walks in the vines or mountain biking. A typical private day on the site starts with a welcome at 10:00, a visit of the estate and a wine tasting at 10:30, lunch at La Table de Mentone at 13:00 and a game of pétanque on the terrace at 16:00.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding offer is organized as a turnkey package covering reception spaces, catering and entertainment. The main venue is La Magnanerie, a large hall of 235 square meters with a terrace overlooking the vines. An old threshing floor paved in traditional calade, with shaded areas, is also used. A partner caterer prepares home-style Provençal cuisine with organic products, and the estate helps choose organic wines to match the menu. Options include a religious or secular ceremony, a welcome evening, a brunch and gifts for guests. Rooms and outbuildings can be booked for guests so the party can run until morning.
