Work Differently, Breathe Better

Seminar in Provence, in the Var department

At an altitude of 400 meters at the foot of the Sainte-Baume mountain range, Blacailloux welcomes your seminar in Provence’s Var department.

Our family-owned vineyard can be exclusively reserved for your board meetings, executive committee meetings, and incentive events, set within 600 hectares of unspoiled nature, featuring four Provençal estates and several meeting rooms.

Sound systems, video equipment, a helipad, on-site lodging, and catering: our teams will orchestrate your custom event in the heart of the Blacailloux estate.

Corporate Seminar at a Winery

Blacailloux is not an impersonal conference center; it is a vibrant winery that welcomes executive committees seeking a change of pace in an intimate setting that blends luxury and nature.

Blacailloux’s reception and meeting spaces are spread across 600 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, and woodlands, away from the city and the coast. Designed for small, custom-tailored executive committee and board meetings, it also hosts day-long events for up to 200 seated guests and 300 for a cocktail reception, complete with professional catering, video and audio equipment, and fiber-optic internet.

Here are the meeting spaces available to you:

Good to know: At Blacailloux, no two seminars are ever the same. Each program is crafted like a unique story: a meeting at the Pavillon, collaborative workshops, a tasting break, a walk, a massage, or a mountain bike ride, followed by dinner in the vineyards, at the winery, or around a fire pit. This fully customized experience—from transportation from the train station to your return home—allows your committee to work more effectively, because they can finally relax.

Socially Responsible Corporate Seminars in Provence: Formats and CSR

Our seminar offerings in the Var region come in several formats, ranging from a small-group management committee or executive committee meeting in a custom-designed closed-door setting, to a study day, a strategy meeting, a general meeting, or a conference for up to 200 employees.

Land Rover, Crédit Agricole, and Aspen Pharma have already chosen Blacailloux for their executive management meetings, strategic committees, press trips, and incentive events. The average length of a stay is around 2 to 3 days.

Companies committed to CSR also find that our framework aligns with their values. Blacailloux takes a comprehensive approach to CSR, which is reflected in several concrete decisions:

01

The vineyards, the olive grove, the olive oil, and the honey are certified organic.

02

Agroforestry and the consolidation of plots promote biodiversity on the estate.

03

Green roofs and semi-underground wine cellars minimize the buildings’ environmental footprint.

04

Blacailloux is participating in the Provence Cluster to promote the reuse of bottles in the circular economy.

05

In terms of social responsibility, the Sœurs vintage donates its profits to several organizations that advocate for women’s rights and work to combat violence against women.

- The Art of Hospitality at Blacailloux, since 2024 -

Why choose us for your seminar in Provence?

Choosing Blacailloux for your seminar in the Var means experiencing authentic Provençal hospitality. The Chamoin family has been cultivating this Var region since 1917 across four generations; today, the estate is run by Valentine de Lasteyrie and her sisters, the great-granddaughters of the founder.

The wild elegance of the place can be savored everywhere: of the 600 hectares in the heart of the Sainte-Baume Regional Nature Park, only 100 are planted with vines; the rest has been left to nature, roamed by deer, hares, wild boars, and even a few foxes.

What we offer your teams:

Our experience in the field: We limit our activities to about ten seminars per year to ensure a warm welcome and confidentiality. Your team will feel right at home on the estate, without any interference from other events.

01

Exclusive use of the venue for your executive committee and board of directors meetings, with no other guests, set amid 600 hectares of untouched nature.

02

A comprehensive CSR approach that goes beyond organic certification alone: agroforestry, the circular economy, and short supply chains of less than 30 km to the table.

03

Rooms equipped with audio, video, high-speed Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, in a minimalist, unpretentious setting.

04

Adjustable capacity, from small executive committee meetings to conferences with 200 participants.

05

An indoor alternative is planned in case of bad weather.

06

Leading companies such as Land Rover, Crédit Agricole, and Aspen Pharma have already participated in our seminars.

Breathe, savor, reconnect

Wine tourism activities and a restaurant at the estate

At Blacailloux, these special experiences take place in the heart of nature: a cellar tour and guided tasting, a blending workshop with the cellar master, cooking classes, electric mountain bike rides through the vineyards, or a massage in our wellness center, which features a herbal tea lounge, sauna, and fitness area.
