Your Dream Wedding Venue on the Dordogne
This stunning 17th-century château has been thoughtfully restored by its Australian owners who've created a perfect marriage of historic grandeur and contemporary luxury. Every detail has been considered to ensure your celebration is as seamless as it is unforgettable.

Nestled within a tranquil 3-hectare private park on the banks of the Dordogne River, Château Destinée offers an idyllic setting just 22km from the UNESCO-listed village of Saint-Émilion and one hour from Bordeaux.

Accommodation & Capacity
Sleep up to 60 guests across beautifully appointed spaces: 5 apartments (including a stunning penthouse bridal suite) and 21 ensuite bedrooms. The château welcomes wedding parties of up to 100 guests for your ceremony and reception.

Exceptional Catering & Flexibility
With a talented team of chefs, experienced event planners, and dedicated staff, you're in safe hands from start to finish. All your culinary needs are covered—from welcome dinners to your wedding feast and recovery brunch. Each event can have its own distinct atmosphere, and guests particularly love the mobile food truck experience by the pool for a relaxed post-wedding gathering.

The owners bring a refreshingly flexible, personal approach to every celebration, tailoring experiences to your vision.

Versatile Event Spaces
The elegant riverside terrace, framed on three sides by the château, flows seamlessly into the light-filled orangerie and spacious reception rooms—perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The historic barn, with its unique character and atmosphere, becomes a magical space for dancing with a terrace for when you need to get some fresh air before hitting the dance floor again.

Moments of Tranquility
Between celebrations, your guests can unwind by the beautiful swimming pool, relax on sun-drenched terraces, or watch dragonflies dance above the gently flowing Dordogne.

Truly idyllic. Utterly unforgettable.

Unlike traditional venues that hand you a vendor list and wish you luck, we provide a true partnership. Our team has orchestrated countless celebrations in these spaces—we know what works, what flows, and how to anticipate needs before they arise. You'll have one point of contact, one cohesive vision, and one team dedicated entirely to your celebration.

This is more than a venue rental. It's a complete wedding experience where every detail is considered, every moment is meaningful, and every memory is made with ease.
