Château Canet is an exclusive vineyard estate in the Minervois region of southern France, just outside Carcassonne, offering couples a relaxed, multi-day wedding setting rooted in wine, landscape and slow celebrations. Set across a 115-hectare family-owned domaine, this is a destination designed for intimate gatherings, extended stays and full buyouts, where guests live together on site and the wedding unfolds at an unhurried pace across gardens, vines and courtyards.

Château Canet is a working wine and olive estate with a deep connection to its land. After years in Burgundy, the owners settled in the Languedoc in the early 2000s, drawn by the Minervois climate, varied terroir and the rhythm of vineyard life. Today, the estate spans 115 hectares and produces its own wines, shaped by Mediterranean warmth and Atlantic-influenced winds.

The atmosphere here is informal yet intentional, with restored stone buildings arranged around a central courtyard and framed by vines, olive trees and open countryside. Weddings are hosted on an exclusive-hire basis, giving couples complete access to the estate and its facilities for a minimum of three nights. Celebrations are capped at 80 guests, with accommodation for up to 40 people across the property, making it particularly well suited to intimate destination weddings where shared time is just as important as the ceremony itself.

Planning support is a central part of the Château Canet experience. Couples are guided well ahead of the wedding through a personalised planning document, with the team working step by step to shape the celebrations and bring ideas into focus. Ongoing support is hands-on and approachable, with the team available to share advice, recommendations and local insight. Couples also benefit from access to a trusted network of regional suppliers — from photographers and florists to celebrants, musicians and beauty professionals — with assistance available for sourcing, booking and coordination.

Ceremonies at Château Canet are designed around choice and flexibility. Couples can exchange vows among the vines, beneath the olive trees, on the château lawn, or within the courtyard, each space offering a distinct feel and scale. The lawn provides a more structured setting, while the vineyard and olive grove feel open and natural, ideal for outdoor ceremonies that connect closely with the surroundings.

While the venue is not licensed for legal or religious ceremonies, it welcomes symbolic celebrations and same-sex weddings. An experienced, bilingual on-site team supports couples throughout, with wedding planning and coordination included as part of the exclusive rental package, ensuring the ceremony flows seamlessly into the wider weekend.

One of Château Canet’s defining features is how easily celebrations move from one setting to another — and how fully supported couples are throughout the entire stay. From the moment guests arrive until the final farewell, the on-site team manages the logistics, set-ups and flow of each day, overseeing meals, activities and behind-the-scenes details so couples can focus on being present.

Guests might gather in the courtyard for aperitifs, transition to a long-table dinner beneath the stars, and continue dancing late into the night with no curfew restrictions. Dining can take place across multiple areas, from the courtyard and lawn to the BBQ area overlooking the estate, with each moment thoughtfully timed and prepared by the venue team.

The lack of a fixed format allows couples to shape the weekend as they wish — whether that’s a relaxed welcome dinner, a formal seated reception, or a next-day gathering by the pool — while knowing everything is quietly taken care of. With exclusive access to the estate, the wedding unfolds as a seamless, multi-day celebration rather than a single event.

Accommodation at Château Canet is spread across nine independent cottages arranged around the central courtyard, sleeping up to 40 guests, with the option to extend to 45 using sofa beds. Each cottage has its own character, private outdoor space and kitchenette, making it easy for guests to feel settled during longer stays.

Options range from spacious family cottages to loft-style spaces with terraces and vineyard views. The largest cottage features a generous kitchen with pizza oven and open fireplace, often used as a preparation space for the wedding party. A dedicated honeymoon suite offers a more private retreat, complete with a large dressing area and bathtub. For additional guests, the team can recommend nearby accommodation and assist with transport.

Catering at Château Canet is handled through a trusted network of external suppliers, allowing couples to shape the dining experience to suit each part of the weekend. Options range from informal BBQs and picnic lunches to multi-course French dinners and food trucks for brunch.

The estate provides professional catering facilities, including large fridges, freezers and ovens, while the cottages are equipped for more relaxed meals. As a working winery, Château Canet also offers its own estate wines at cellar-door prices, with red, white, rosé and sparkling options available. Couples can build bespoke wine selections and serve drinks freely throughout their celebrations.

Designed for extended stays, Château Canet offers plenty to enjoy beyond the wedding day. On site, guests can make the most of:
