Strategy sessions, workshops, small company retreats, private dinners and weddings can be organised at Domaine Rabiega, a hotel and wine estate set among vineyards and olive trees at 735 Chemin Saint Joseph in Draguignan, in the Var. Its meeting room seats 65 in theater style, and the full estate, with 26 rooms, a restaurant, gardens and a pool, can be booked for a single group.
Seminars and company events
The meeting room suits strategy sessions, workshops and team meetings in a quiet setting. It takes 65 in theater style, or 35 in clusters, in a U-shape or in classroom rows, and the hotel can adapt the layout on request. It comes with a projector, a flipchart, notepads and pens. Between sessions, groups can walk in the vines, book a wine tasting or sit down to Mediterranean dishes paired with the estate's wines. Larger groups can reserve the whole estate, which turns the hotel, restaurant and grounds into a private base for a few days.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies can be held outdoors in the gardens or on the terrace, or indoors in the common areas of the estate. Menus and wines are planned with the couple around Mediterranean cooking and the estate's own bottles. A full buyout reserves the restaurant, pool, gardens and all 26 rooms for the wedding party. Smaller celebrations can book the Restaurant Rabiega alone for a private dinner or reception. The site does not publish seated or standing capacities for weddings, so guest numbers should be confirmed with the team.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room is the only space with published figures: 65 in theater style and 35 in the other layouts. The gardens, the terrace and the restaurant are the main reception spaces.
Accommodation
The estate has 26 individually decorated rooms in four categories: Single Room, Classic Double Room, Superior Terrace and Suite. Classic doubles look over the gardens or the vineyards, and the Superior Terrace rooms open onto the outdoors. The hotel is seasonal and closes for part of the winter, so dates should be checked early.
Catering
The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with the estate's wines and hosts private dinners with seasonal menus. Wine tastings and guided walks through the vineyard can be added to any program, and the wines are sold in the estate shop. A pool bar serves guests in summer.
History and setting
Wine and farming have been part of the estate since the 16th century. Christiane Rabiega began making wine under the family name in the 1960s. The Swedish company Vin & Sprit bought the property in 1986 and appointed Lars Torstenson as winemaker in 1988; his Syrah-based Clos Dière Cuvée I from the 1990 vintage did well at an international competition in 1993. The Åkesson family took over in 2006, followed by a French owner. Since July 27, 2020, the estate has belonged to the Stockholm company Gastrodev Vin & Sprit AB.
Getting there
Nice, Toulon-Hyères and La Môle Saint-Tropez airports are each about one hour away by car, according to the estate. The nearest railway station is Les Arcs-Draguignan.
