Question
What about our kids?
Answer
Unfortunately, given that this is an older venue and because we have a a very limited amount of guests allowed, we ask that you do not bring children. The only exception will be newborns (0-1 year old) since we know how hard it is to not bring a new baby. We really wish we could welcome children, and hope you can understand!
Question
What about languages?
Answer
We plan to have the ceremony in English & French and maybe some Spanish. We will have guests from all over the world mostly speaking English, French, Spanish and maybe some Portuguese!
Question
Will there be any other events during the weekend?
Answer
Yes! We have booked a 2-hour Wine Tasting Class at 5:30pm at La Maison du Vin in the historic city of Saint-Émilion. After the Wine Tasting, you can enjoy a stroll in the city and find a restaurant for dinner. Pricing: 35 euros per person. Keep in mind that Saint-Émilion is a 30 minutes' drive from Chateau Destinee and you will need to provide your own transportation. We will try to have a few people carpool together! Itinerary: 4:45pm - Depart Chateau Destinee 5:30pm - Wine Tasting (2 hrs)
