About Domaine des Bidaudières
Domaine des Bidaudières stands apart as a working vineyard estate that doubles as a hotel, allowing guests to marry within active wine production rather than a converted château.
Located in Vouvray's wine region, the property offers direct access to Loire Valley terroirs and cellar experiences unavailable at traditional wedding venues.

Just beautiful - situated just a above a sweet pond, with a gorgeous pool. Very comfortable beds & nice bathtub (with shower). Free breakfast was lovely. The owners Sylvie & Pascal are so helpful and kind! Very close to lots of activities.
