The Domaine Guinand hosts seminars, team days and evening receptions for groups of up to 80 guests in Saint-Christol, part of the commune of Entre-Vignes in the Hérault, between Nîmes and Montpellier. It is a working family winery with a daylight meeting room, a historic cellar and a landscaped park, and the estate also designs the activities around the meeting.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells room hire for seminars and receptions, and it can build a full day around the vineyard. The team has an events background. Sophie Guinand, now a winemaker, worked for almost ten years in event production and logistics, and a second team member with an animation background joined in 2026.
The site gives three sample programs. A nature day pairs an outdoor escape game or an electric-bike ride through the vines with a lunch at the estate and a wine fair game in the afternoon. A well-being day offers yoga or sophrology among the vines and a picnic or brunch. A food day starts with a cooking workshop for up to 24 people and ends with a wine blending workshop. Strategy and cohesion games are also available.
Rooms and capacities
Three spaces can be hired. The Louis Coustan room takes up to 35 people depending on the layout. It is air-conditioned, has a large glass wall opening to the outdoors and a terrace onto the park. It can be set theatre style, in a U shape or in other formats.
The cellar, called the caveau, is a historic room. It can be hired in the evening only, for dinners or cocktail receptions of up to 80 guests.
The park covers about 700 square meters. It is planted with trees, so it gives shade all summer, and it is lit at night. Power outlets are available at several points, and a higher-power connection is reserved for caterer vehicles such as a refrigerated truck or a plancha. It suits brunches, cocktail receptions, seated meals and outdoor games, and it has a pétanque court.
Accommodation
For a residential seminar the estate works with partner lodgings in the village. Participants move around on foot or by bike during the stay. The team can also set up a temporary village of tipis in the vineyard, with dry toilets and showers. The estate runs its own gîte, a self-catering house in the Hérault countryside, but the site does not state its size, so ask about it when planning a stay.
Catering
The estate works with local caterers who pay attention to where their products come from, and the offer is built around the event. A traditional seated meal, a cocktail dinner and a brunch are all mentioned. The estate also produces its own AOP Languedoc wines, which can be part of a tasting.
History and setting
The vineyard lies between the Mediterranean and the Cévennes and carries the Terroir de Saint-Christol designation. Guided visits of the vineyard plots, the vinification cellar and the barrel hall can be added to a program, along with tasting workshops and themed evenings.
Getting there
The village is about five minutes from the Lunel exit of the A9 motorway. Nîmes and Montpellier are each a short drive away. Requests go through the contact form or the events address on the seminar page.
