Château de Gevingey hosts weddings, family reunions, birthdays and small-scale company meetings for up to 160 guests. Receptions use an orangery for up to 160 people and a hall for 150 with professional kitchens, and up to 29 guests can sleep on site, with more beds in the château itself from 2026. The estate is in the village of Gevingey, at the foot of the Revermont in the Jura wine country, 7 kilometers from Lons-le-Saunier.
Seminars and company events
The estate takes professional meetings for small groups, described as countryside seminars. The owners meet each client to build a tailored offer, then bring in trusted partners for the services needed: a private chef, a caterer, table d'hôte meals, a barman or a tent rental. The 15-hectare park, the pool and the surrounding Jura sites give groups options for a break or an outing. Hikes, lakes, the Baume-les-Messieurs gorge, Château-Chalon and wine tastings are all close by.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main event offer, with a style the owners describe as country, bohemian, romantic or retro. The walled grounds and the main courtyard frame the day, and a large tent is available for the cocktail outdoors. Classic cars can be booked as an option, some with a driver, for the trip to the town hall or the church, or for an entrance at a secular ceremony on the estate. Family reunions, christenings and gatherings of friends are also welcome.
Rooms and capacities
The orangery takes up to 160 guests and has a fitted caterer's office; it has been refurbished to host weddings from 2026. Facing the orangery and the château, the former restaurant building offers a large hall for 150 people with professional kitchens and a view of the main courtyard. A large tent provides an outdoor cocktail area. Ask the owners for seated and standing figures for each space.
Accommodation
Up to 29 people can sleep in the estate's gîtes and a dormitory. The Conciergerie, a single-story house of 140 square meters at the entrance, takes 6 to 8 people with two double bedrooms, a children's room with bunk beds and a terrace. The first floor of the château, under renovation, is planned to open in summer 2026 for 12 to 15 people, including a bridal room, with a 50 square meter kitchen and an 80 square meter lounge. A large winegrower's house facing the estate can also lodge guests. A 15 by 5 meter pool is on the grounds.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant. The estate works with partner caterers and private chefs, who use the professional kitchens of the hall or the orangery's caterer office.
History and setting
The estate sits behind its enclosure walls in the heart of the village, in a 15-hectare park with a greenhouse of roses and a watchtower for observing deer. From 1947 it served as a holiday camp, where thousands of children spent their summers. Amaury and Clémence, the current owners, took it over after two years of preparation. They plan to replant 8 hectares of vines and host concerts, plays and exhibitions.
