Domein Clos St. Denis in Kortessem, in the Haspengouw fruit region of Limburg, hosts business events for 20 to 300 people, private meetings for 5 to 50, and weddings with exclusive use of the estate. It combines historic rooms, gardens, a courtyard and a guesthouse of five bedrooms. The estate is run by the event company Kachet, which handles the whole organization.
Seminars and company events
Companies can book the whole estate for a corporate event of 25 to 150 people, or a private room for a meeting of 5 to 50. Meeting packages include a fully equipped room, a business lunch, private dining, an overnight stay and breakfast. Other formats are product presentations, staff parties, networking receptions, client dinners and car rally events. Team building and incentive programs combine presentations, brainstorming and workshops with a reception, dinner and overnight stay, and activities with regional partners. One example is a wine safari by electric cart through local vineyards with a tasting. A venue manager is the single point of contact for the team and runs the event.
Weddings and receptions
The wedding formula gives exclusive use of the estate, including the dance room, lounge, ceremony garden and courtyard. The ceremony garden seats up to 120 people. A dance party can host up to 150 guests. The Oesterkamer, Haardkamer, Eetkamer and bar are used for the dinner, and the Tuinkamer for dancing. Guests can continue in the bar and the Wine Lounge. A reception room with a dress and make-up area is set aside for the couple.
Rooms and capacities
The estate lists these figures for events: a culinary reception for up to 150 people indoors and 200 outdoors, a seated fine dining dinner for up to 80, a dance party for up to 150, and business events from 20 to 300 people. The wedding page gives up to 98 guests for dinner in the four historic rooms. Meetings take place in a private room laid out to the client's wishes.
Accommodation
The guesthouse has five bedrooms with private bathrooms, and sleeps up to 11 people. It holds a bridal suite with a gas fireplace and a luxury bathroom, three double rooms and one family room, plus a private lounge. Breakfast is served in the morning.
Catering
Dining here follows a restaurant format, with table service in the former living rooms. The estate works with the chefs Anne-Sophie Breysem and Jaume Soler, who design the menus to match the occasion and season.
History and setting
The estate was known for decades as a two-star restaurant run by the Denis family from the 1980s. Kachet has since renovated the historic buildings, added new guest suites and redone the gardens, with a contemporary interior.
