Domaine Croix Duplex in Grandvaux can be booked for private receptions from 20 guests, seminars of up to 15 people and company tastings or team building across four spaces: a cellar tasting room, a glazed veranda and two terraces. It is a family winery founded in 1929 on the slopes of Lavaux, in the municipality of Bourg-en-Lavaux, between Lake Geneva and the terraced vineyards.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells a seminar format for up to 15 people. The cellar tasting room (caveau) or the veranda can be used as the meeting room. The winery points out that Grandvaux station is close, that there is parking on site and that restaurants are nearby, so a small group can arrive by train or by car and eat out. A cellar visit and a tasting can close the day.
For team building, four spaces are available: the caveau, the veranda and two terraces. The usable capacity depends on the activity, and the estate asks organizers to describe the plan so it can advise. Company outings are built around tastings of four wines, with platters of local produce, and a tailored standing buffet can be arranged.
Weddings and receptions
The winery does not present a wedding offer. It does rent its premises for private parties, such as a birthday or a family reception, for groups of at least 20 people. The format is a standing cocktail buffet only: no seated meal is served. Music is not allowed on the premises.
Rooms and capacities
Four spaces are named on the official site: the caveau, the veranda and two terraces. No floor areas or maximum headcount are published, apart from the 15-person limit for seminars and the 20-person minimum for private hire. Organizers should confirm the layout and numbers when they ask for a date.
Private hire takes place outside opening hours, from Monday to Saturday. The premises must be tidy and returned by 11 p.m. at the latest. They are not available for events in September and October, when the grape harvest takes over the estate.
Catering
There is no seated catering. The estate offers tasting flights and platters, among them a winemaker's platter, a gourmet platter and a craftsmen's platter, and builds a standing cocktail dinner on request. The wines come from the estate's own vineyards in Lavaux and from its cellar.
History and setting
Croix Duplex has worked the vines of Lavaux since 1929. Lavaux's terraced vineyards are a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, and the estate looks over the lake and the mountains beyond. The winery is run today by a woman winemaker and sells its bottles, tastings and special evenings from Route de Chenaux in Grandvaux.
Getting there
The estate is at Route de Chenaux 2, 1091 Grandvaux. Grandvaux station is close, and the lakeside towns of Lausanne and Vevey are within a short drive or train ride. Parking is available on site.
