WELCOME TO CHÂTEAU LA GARDE, A WINE ESTATE CLOSE TO BORDEAUX

Just a few minutes from Bordeaux, Château La Garde invites you to discover the Pessac-Léognan appellation in a different way. Here, the vineyard is experienced through a wide range of moments: immersive tours, hands-on tastings, cooking classes, tailor-made seminars and weddings, as well as an elegant guest house in the heart of the vines. All these experiences share the same philosophy: welcoming guests, celebrating nature and sharing the Bordeaux art of living.

Explore: immersive tours to discover an exceptional terroir

Perched on one of the highest points of the appellation, Château La Garde stretches over 54 hectares of a single block of vines, rooted in 27 different soil types. A true geological mosaic that shapes the character of its wines.

To explore it, the estate offers several guided visits, designed for all audiences and all interests. From the classic Discovery Tour to tasting workshops, there is something for everyone. Two experiences stand out in particular:

–   The Grandeur Nature Tour, created with La Bulle Verte, takes visitors on a 1.5 km self-guided walk through ponds, woodland and the gravel plateau, marked by 11 points of interest dedicated to biodiversity, followed by a tasting of three wines.

–   The Mosaïc Tour reveals the subtle art of blending through six single-varietal cuvées and the château’s grand vin rouge.

Taste: when wine meets gastronomy

Because wine is best enjoyed at the table, Château La Garde offers cooking classes led by a private chef. Participants learn the secrets of food and wine pairing before enjoying their own creations during a meal served in the château’s private salons.

These workshops are perfect for wine lovers and groups of friends looking for a convivial experience, and equally well-suited to companies wishing to organise a team-building event in a Bordeaux vineyard.

Gather: seminars and corporate events

Château La Garde welcomes companies throughout the year for seminars, conferences and product launches. Several adaptable spaces are available:

–   The Cassini Room, with its panoramic terrace overlooking the gardens, ideal for business meetings or seminars.

–   The Mosaïc Room, offering a stunning view across the vineyard, perfect for private receptions, presentations or intimate cocktails.

–   The Astéries Vat Room, which can host up to 300 guests, an outstanding setting for gala dinners, exhibitions or large-scale events.

–   Three private salons in the château’s chartreuse, both contemporary and intimate, for executive meetings or private dining.

The estate adapts to all formats and offers tailor-made solutions that combine work, conviviality and discovery, all in the unique setting of a Pessac-Léognan château.

Celebrate: weddings and private receptions

The Château La Garde estate provides a unique backdrop for life’s most important celebrations. Whether a wedding, anniversary or private reception, the château’s salons, the guest house within the chartreuse, the contemporary vat room, the gardens and the reception areas all offer a refined and flexible setting.

With its blend of heritage and elegance, the property ensures high-quality services for unforgettable moments, for those who dream of an event at the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards.

Stay: a guest house among the vines

The château’s historic chartreuse houses three elegant bedrooms and suites, each with its own distinctive atmosphere. Two bright, warm suites open onto private terraces overlooking the vines, while the Grandeur Nature Room offers a more intimate style, ideal for kids.

A peaceful retreat, surrounded by nature, to fully experience wine country hospitality in Bordeaux.
