Château la Moune in Montussan, open AprilAugust.

Château la Moune stands apart as a working wine estate that doubles as a full-service hotel, allowing guests to marry within the vineyard grounds and retire to on-site accommodations.

Located in Montussan's prestigious wine region, the château offers a rare combination of agricultural authenticity and refined hospitality, where the wedding venue and guest rooms share the same historic property.

With a 4.3/5 Google rating, it delivers both operational excellence and memorable experiences across multiple days.

Lovely place! We stayed with friends and enjoyed our stay. François was an absolutely fantastic host and chef, and all around a lovely individual! We felt at home, and he took care of everything. He prepared a private breakfast each morning, which was quite a highlight. He also offers private dinners, which we regrettably did not have time for, but we can only imagine how awesome that would have been. The pool is a great place for a quick dip on a hot day. There is a nice outdoor ping pong table in the backyard. The rooms could use a little updating, but it was charming all the same! It needs to be said again that we had a wonderful time, and our host François was so kind hearted, and made our stay special. Highly recommended!
