The Manoir de la Mazeraie hosts seminars, team days and daytime family receptions for up to 50 people in a single 110-square-meter room. The room sits in the manor's former wine cellar, on a 15th-century estate with organic vineyards, horses and gardens. The address is La Mazeraie, 37300 Joué-lès-Tours, about 10 kilometers from Tours in Indre-et-Loire.
Seminars and company events
The room is rented for meetings with lunch on site. It is equipped with a video projector, a large screen, a paper board, tables and chairs and Wi-Fi. A wood stove heats it, and a bar stands where the old wine press used to be. Groups can step out into the garden for breaks, and in good weather lunch can be served outdoors at tables set up in front of the room.
Breakfast and breaks are made with local and homemade products: pastries from the Nardeux bakery, apple juice from an orchard 500 meters away, and the house's own honey, jams and cakes. The estate can add afternoon activities on request, including a tasting of its wines, to round off a working day.
The room carries the Clef Verte label for the estate's environmental commitments. There is no plastic or disposable item, water is served in carafes, pencils are made in France from French wood and paper is recycled or FSC certified. Groups feed the stove during the day with wood cut on the estate.
Weddings and receptions
The room is offered for family events held during the day: christenings, birthdays, a brunch or a Saturday or Sunday lunch. It is available on weekdays and at weekends. The official site does not present the manor as a wedding venue.
Rooms and capacities
The seminar and reception room measures 110 square meters and takes up to 50 people. It has step-free access, and a car park adjoins it. A large outdoor area in front of the room is furnished with tables and chairs in the warm season.
Accommodation
Two holiday cottages are rented on the estate. The Écolodge occupies an outbuilding of the manor rebuilt with local and natural materials, with a bath on its terrace. The Appartement du Manoir sits in a wing of the house with its own entrance, a hot tub on request and a desk for remote work. Both suit a couple, so a group will need hotels in Tours or Joué-lès-Tours.
Catering
Groups may bring the caterer of their choice, or ask the estate to organise the whole day. Breakfast and breaks are provided by the house. The estate makes its own wines under four labels, Malvoisie, Blanc de Noirs, Pinot Noir and Noble Joué, and runs tastings and themed visits.
History and setting
The current owners bought the manor in 2011, when it was close to a ruin, and moved in with their four children in 2013. The farm and the farm buildings were restored first. From 2017, Alexia, who runs the estate, led the restoration of the cottages and then of the old wine cellar, using stone found on site, local sand and lime. Vines were replanted from 2019 on this former wine property and are farmed organically. The estate has been a bird refuge listed by the LPO since 2021 and received the Clef Verte label in 2023.
Getting there
The manor stands on the road between Joué-lès-Tours and Monts, just off the Tours ring road and less than 5 kilometers from the A10 and A85 motorways. A cycle path passes the gate and leads to Villandry and Azay-le-Rideau. Parking is free on site.
