Domaine des Bossons is a family wine estate in Satigny, in the Geneva countryside, that hires out its garden terraces, Les Terrasses du Vieux Clocher, for an aperitif of up to 180 people or a seated meal of up to 120. The terraces are open from the end of April to mid-October each year. The estate also rents a tent, and its photographs show garden wedding ceremonies, receptions, brunches and themed weddings.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the use the estate shows most. Its gallery presents ceremonies in the garden and under a tent, ceremonies with a view over the vines, wedding meals, a table set for the couple, country-style aperitifs and a garden brunch. The terraces take an aperitif of up to 180 guests, so the reception can be larger than the seated meal. For a dinner or lunch at tables, the limit is 120 guests.
The tent is a separate service. The estate publishes its rental conditions for 2026 as a document on the tent rental page, and organisers should read them before asking for a date.
Seminars and company events
The site does not describe a meeting or seminar offer, and it states no indoor room, screen or meeting equipment. What it does state is an outdoor setting for an aperitif or a meal, with a garden brunch among the photographed formats. A company planning a summer party or a client reception can ask the estate whether those formats fit, and should confirm the date range, since the terraces close for the winter.
Rooms and capacities
Les Terrasses du Vieux Clocher: up to 180 people for an aperitif, up to 120 for a seated meal. Season: end of April to mid-October. Tent: available for hire, with capacity and layout set out in the rental conditions. The site does not list bedrooms or an indoor hall, so guests who need a place to stay will find it nearby rather than on the estate.
Catering
The site does not say whether food is prepared by the estate or by a caterer of the organiser's choice, and it gives no menu. It does present the estate's own wines: reds, whites, rosés and sparkling wines from 18 grape varieties. In 2026 the Sélection des Vins de Genève gave two gold medals, to the Gamay Les Velours 2025 and the Gewürztraminer 2025, and two silver medals, to the Viognier La Chapelle de Peissy 2024 and the Gamaret Gamarêve 2024. Tastings are offered at the cellar.
History and setting
The estate was founded in 1905 by Albert Desbaillet, grandfather of Eric Leyvraz, and is now run by the fourth generation with Laure Leyvraz. It lies in the village of Peissy, whose vines appear in the oldest document held in the Geneva state archives, a donation by Countess Eldegarde to the Church in 912. Each year the estate takes part in the village's Saint-Martin celebration in November, with tastings and fireworks, and it holds tasting evenings in spring and at Advent.
Getting there
The estate is at Route de Maison-Rouge 27, 1242 Satigny, Switzerland. The site gives no public transport details. The cellar is open by appointment Monday to Friday and every Saturday morning from 9:00 to noon, which is also when to arrange a visit of the terraces before booking.
