Domaine de Ruty is a former 10-hectare wine estate. The 242m2 reception room (formerly the wine cellar), very bright and accessible to people with reduced mobility, can accommodate up to 180 seated guests.
Inside, you can admire a magnificent exposed timber frame. The walls are made of stone, traditional lime plaster, and aged wood. The space is very bright with five large bay windows and large stone portholes that give it exceptional charm. It is furnished with chairs, round tables, a head table (extendable), and a video projector. The room is air-conditioned or heated.
Outside, the reception area offers a magnificent view of the estate, including the tower of the adjoining building (dating from the early 18th century) with its gargoyles and beautiful stone staircase. The park is landscaped with a multitude of flowering plants, and you can also enjoy the lawns and the shade of its large cedar trees. Your photos can be taken at your convenience, either in the park or in the estate's vineyards.
In addition to its reception hall, the estate boasts a barn (approximately 120 m²) enclosed on two slopes, perfect for hosting a secular ceremony or other activities in the shade at the end of the day. Afterwards, a stroll past the estate's vegetable garden leads to your meal in the hall.
