Château de Varennes
Varennes-le-Grand, near Beaune, Burgundy
A family-owned 18th-century château in southern Burgundy with a fully bilingual team and an on-site chef.
A privately owned château in the same family for over four hundred years, set in the vineyards south of Beaune. Exclusive use covers the château, orangery, chapel, gardens and heated pool, with twenty-seven restored bedrooms sleeping the closest sixty guests on site.
The in-house team is fully bilingual and runs weddings end-to-end, from supplier liaison to ceremony scripting in English. The resident chef builds tasting menus from the kitchen gardens and works to any dietary brief, and the on-site chapel can host official Christian ceremonies.
