Fuentearcos hosts conventions, product launches, team-building days, gala and Christmas dinners, weddings and family celebrations for up to 450 guests at a cocktail or 350 seated in classroom layout. The estate sits on the road from Vicálvaro to Rivas del Jarama, in the east of Madrid, about 10 km from the city center, and covers more than 20,000 m² of gardens, fountains and halls.
Seminars and company events
The corporate program covers conventions, talks, product presentations, working meetings, kick-offs, team building, trade fairs, tastings, food days, photo shoots, gala dinners and Christmas dinners. The halls are independent from each other, so each event gets its own room and its own garden, which keeps two groups on the same day apart. The site lists cocktail and classroom figures for every hall; banquet, theater and U-shape layouts are quoted on request. Technical equipment is not detailed online and is worth confirming when you ask for a quote.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold the ceremony in the gardens and the banquet in the same place. Three halls are presented for weddings: Arcos, Columnas and Trébol, each with its garden. The Pasaje del Amor, a garden with a waterfall, fountains and a lit heart, is set aside for photos. Families with young children get an outdoor play area with a castle, slides and swings, plus a covered play room for cold days. Communions, christenings, birthdays and anniversaries are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
Arcos is the largest hall, with a wide glass wall onto a 600 m² garden: 450 guests at a cocktail, 350 in classroom layout. Trébol takes 290 standing or 230 seated, with a 280 m² garden and a chill-out corner. Columnas, rustic in style with wooden beams, takes 180 standing or 140 seated and opens onto a 400 m² garden with fountains. Fuentes (130 or 100), Chimenea (110 or 90), Sauce (100 or 80, with a 100 m² garden) and Pérgola (100 or 80) suit smaller groups.
Catering
The kitchen is in-house, the same one that runs the Fuentearcos restaurant, which serves Mediterranean food. Menus are written for each company or couple. Cocktail formats can include tapas, a cheese station, rice dishes, ham carving, sushi and barbecue. Wedding menus combine a starter, a fish course and a meat course chosen from several options, a sorbet and a choice of desserts.
History and setting
The estate began as a family restaurant founded by José Manuel Valcárcel after more than 25 years with a multinational company. He took sole charge in 1997, and by 1999 Fuentearcos had become a known address in Madrid for weddings and communions. In 2013 he handed the business to the next generation, and it remains family-run.
Getting there
