Castle Wedding Guide

Château de Fayolle Outside

Welcome to… life as a châtelain on a picturesque French vineyard

Château de Fayolle, a romantic 15th century stone château with views across the Dordogne valley, is set amongst the vine-covered, gently undulating countryside south-west of Bergerac. Secluded, but not isolated, the château is at the centre of a one-hundred acre estate in Saussignac, that produces superb quality wines and is the perfect place for your dream holiday, weekend break, wedding or event.

Recently lovingly restored, the Château de Fayolle offers accommodation for groups of up to 15 guests in 5 en-suite bedrooms, of which two have four-poster beds, and a two roomed ground floor apartment. The château is beautifully furnished with French antiques but with modern comforts.

In the tranquillity of the private walled garden you can sit in the shade of the giant cedars, stroll around the half-timbered pigeonnier and private chapel or relax by the heated pool.

Located only 15 minutes from Bergerac airport and one hour 30 minutes from Bordeaux airport, both with frequent flights from the UK and Europe, the château is owned by Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England.

The château is available to rent on an exclusive basis throughout the year for holidays, short breaks,and longer stays. The vineyard is open for wine tastings to both individuals and large groups.

Château de Fayolle and its private chapel also offers a dream setting for a romantic wedding blessing and reception, baby naming ceremony or rededication of vows.

The location, easy access, privacy and flexibility of facilities make the château an ideal venue for small seminars, team building, receptions and bespoke events whether your numbers are 10 or 100.

We are confident that when you rent the Château de Fayolle, you and your guests will leave with wonderful lasting memories of life as a châtelain, in a beautiful French wine region.
