The Domaine de Gressac hires its whole estate for seminars, company events and weddings in Verfeuil, in the Gard, close to Uzès and not far from Avignon. A new meeting space seats up to 80 people, events run up to 200 guests, and seven gîtes sleep 26 on 115 hectares of protected land above the Cèze valley. The owners, Laurence and Reto, run the place themselves.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells working seminars, incentive days and team building, and lists the formats it handles: cohesion days, management committees and general assemblies, summer parties and company evenings, and large events or product launches from 100 to 500 people. Hire is exclusive, so no other group shares the property.
The team-building menu includes collective percussion, field-day challenges, hikes and raft building for cohesion, horse coaching and leadership workshops, cooking classes and truffle sessions, perfume, photography and drawing for creativity, yoga and meditation for downtime, and blind tests or karaoke for evenings.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting space is the estate's latest addition. It occupies a restored former farm building of 145 square meters. It holds a main room of 85 square meters equipped for sound and image, and a 30 square meter kitchen with a bar. Furniture is provided for 80 seated participants. Equipment includes a full sound and lighting desk, fiber internet, a microphone, a pull-down screen and an HD video projector. A cloakroom and two restrooms complete the space.
For larger gatherings the grounds take over: the poplar alley, the vegetable garden, the pool deck and a wild private beach on the Cèze. A food truck can serve in the open air. The seminar page gives 80 seated and 200 in event format.
Weddings and receptions
The estate offers weddings with a reception room that has a preparation kitchen, several ceremony sites and no set closing time. The couple chooses its own providers. A childcare service and a shuttle option are mentioned.
Accommodation
Seven gîtes sleep from 2 to 7 people each, 26 in total, and the seminar page quotes lodging for up to 17 people for working groups. The Tipi Chic experience adds more beds. The gîtes are listed by name on the site: Papou, Pélisse, Sartre, Mas de Court, Heidi, Têtu and Studio Tao.
Catering
The seminar page describes local, creative bistro-style cooking, and a food truck is available outdoors. For weddings the providers are not imposed.
History and setting
The estate covers 115 hectares in a Natura 2000 zone, with 16 kilometers of private paths. About 30 horses live there freely, and the site makes the animals part of the stay. There is an infinity pool.
Getting there
The estate is in the Gard, near Uzès, and the site describes it as easy to reach from the main cities. The address is 958 chemin de Gressac, Verfeuil.
