We celebrated our wedding at Château Bas d'Aumelas on April 12, 2025, and the setting was simply magnificent. Nestled in the heart of the garrigue, it's a unique place, full of charm and character, perfect for a romantic, natural wedding. Our entire day went very well, and our guests were generally delighted.
However, a few areas could be improved. In the evening, the rain made it a bit difficult for guests to return to their vehicles: the parking lot entrances are poorly marked and poorly lit, which made finding the cars difficult and unpleasant. It would be really helpful to better signage the paths and improve the lighting, especially for the routes to the bride and groom's and parents' rooms. Walking in the mud was far from comfortable in a wedding dress—a few stepping stones or a more suitable surface would be welcome for these areas.
The rooms are beautiful, but the housekeeping could be more attentive. I had also booked a teepee for a unique experience; unfortunately, I don't recommend it. The price is high for a service far below that of standard rooms. The prefabricated toilets were unusable (garbage cans blocking access), the shower didn't work, and there was no lighting, which made the experience complicated, even unpleasant, outside of summer.
The brunch the next day was a real success: plentiful, tasty, and much appreciated by all our guests. The tour of the winery to conclude the weekend was also a wonderful moment of discovery.
In summary, I recommend Château Bas d'Aumelas for its exceptional charm and the beauty of its setting, while hoping that some improvements will be made to improve comfort, especially in case of unpredictable weather.We celebrated our wedding at Château Bas d'Aumelas on April 12, 2025, and the setting was simply magnificent.
