A Romantic Wedding Château Near Saint-Émilion
Château de Sanse – Where Tuscany Meets Bordeaux
If you’ve ever dreamed of a romantic château wedding surrounded by nature and vineyards, this one’s for you. Château de Sanse is a gorgeous, golden-stone château-hotel. Tucked away in peaceful countryside near to Saint-Émilion. It’s every bit as dreamy as it sounds.
When we first visited Château de Sanse, we were struck by how beautifully Tuscan it feels. With its warm stone walls, terracotta tiles and elegant cypress trees, the château has the atmosphere of a peaceful Italian villa. There’s something about the light, the rolling hills and the way the estate blends so naturally with its surroundings that evokes the charm of Tuscany.
Just a short drive from the château lies Saint-Émilion, the world-famous town celebrated for its exceptional Bordeaux vineyards and timeless charm. This medieval hilltop town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a delight to wander. Surrounded by prestigious Grand Cru estates, it offers wine tastings, breathtaking views and an unmistakably romantic atmosphere. A visit to Saint-Émilion adds an extra special touch to any stay at Château de Sanse.
Stay in Style
The château offers 16 elegant ensuite bedrooms (11 rooms and 5 suites), each individually styled and unique. Two of the rooms are thoughtfully designed to welcome guests with reduced mobility, ensuring comfort for everyone.
The Food (and Wine!)
The talented on-site catering team prepare and serve delicious gourmet meals, all made with fresh local ingredients. You’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with their chef to share your wishes, tastes, and culinary preferences. And, together, you will create a bespoke, personalised menu, perfectly suited to your celebration.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be a French château wedding without great wine – and you’re in one of the best regions for it.
