Seminars and company events
The residential format mixes work and cohesion in a fully private setting: executive committees, training sessions, conventions and team building. The domain says each event is built around a clear objective, and it offers rooms for meetings, conferences and conventions of up to 130 people. For a residential seminar, it lists 23 individual beds in six suites and three rooms.
One-day and evening formats are also sold: company parties, Christmas dinners, product launches and receptions. Team-building ideas listed on the site include dragon boat, a mountain treasure hunt, wine tasting and a triathlon. Organizers choose their own caterer and entertainment. There is no time limit for evenings.
On-site equipment includes fiber Wi-Fi, large screens and video projectors, sound and microphones, tables and chairs, a caterer room with a cold room, and a barbecue area. The site meets ERP safety and accessibility rules and has reduced-mobility access.
Weddings and receptions
The domain is privatized from Friday morning to Sunday evening. Guests arrive on Friday for a first dinner, the ceremony and reception follow on Saturday, and a brunch closes the weekend on Sunday. The Pressoir, the former wine press hall, seats up to 130 for a dinner and has a dance floor. The gardens hold up to 250 for a cocktail, and 170 can be received indoors for a cocktail dinner.
Civil ceremonies can be held in the gardens or in the chai. Churches in Annecy-le-Vieux and Veyrier are nearby. Couples choose their own caterer, DJ and photographer, can bring their own drinks with no corkage fee, and may celebrate with no closing time.
