Château Vaudois hosts seminars, incentive days, company lunches and dinners, gala evenings, product launches, weddings and family receptions. Its glass-walled hall seats 240 at round tables, and its patio and formal garden hold 400 for a cocktail. The estate lies in the Maures hills at Roquebrune-sur-Argens, in the Var, and books only one event at a time.
Seminars and company events
The estate offers three meeting spaces, used alone or combined, and an events manager follows each project. All three rooms have air conditioning, heating, a projector and Wi-Fi, and meeting furniture is included in the room hire. Château Vaudois publishes all-inclusive seminar packages in a brochure.
For incentive programs, the estate runs tailored cellar tours and tastings and cooking classes on site. Through Delli Resort, the group it belongs to, teams can add golf lessons or 18 holes at Golf de Roquebrune Resort, time at the Daya Spa, or water sports at Darko Beach. The estate has also hosted concerts and fashion shows in its spaces.
Weddings and receptions
The team coordinates weddings from the first visit to the day itself, including set-up for the DJ, the florist and candle lighting. Ceremonies take place in the formal garden or, for a more formal setting, in the wine cellar dressed for the occasion. The estate also hosts christenings, birthdays and family lunches.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle aux Étoiles is a glass-walled building above the vineyard, with 263 square meters inside, opening on one side to the winemaking area and on the other to a 293-square-meter terrace over the vines. It takes 240 at round tables, 350 for a cocktail, 220 in theatre style, 100 in classroom style and 70 around a U-shaped table. Its equipment adds projection screens, wireless microphones, a sound system, a flipchart and plasma screens.
The Salle du Château has a fireplace and bay windows onto an Andalusian-style patio and a formal French garden. It takes 120 at round tables, 150 for a cocktail, 100 in theatre style, 40 in classroom style and 30 in a U. The Vinothèque, a 42-square-meter room with a patio and a mezzanine library, suits business lunches and small seminars for up to 40, or can serve as a children's room at weddings.
The patio, with its water wall, and the formal garden form the main outdoor area. They seat 250 at round tables, and each holds 400 for a cocktail. A large terrace with century-old plane trees sits at the foot of the vines.

History and setting
Marie and Gérard Delli-Zotti bought the dormant wine property in 1988. Their children, Christelle and Jonathan, traced the name of the place to Waldensian preachers, known in French as "vaudois", who settled in the Fournel valley in 1205. Planting began in 2000, the first harvest came in 2004 and the cellar was built in 2011. Today the estate covers 100 hectares, 20 of them under vine, on schist soils facing southeast between Saint-Raphaël and Saint-Tropez, with a view toward the Mediterranean.
Getting there
The estate stands on Route Château Vaudois, close to the main motorway routes. It has a large car park and a helipad on site.
