Montaulieu is an old Landes "caverie" nestled on a hillside just a stone's throw from the lake and the Arjuzanx national reserve. A domain full of history whose exceptional buildings have been carefully renovated by the current owners to make it an extraordinary reception venue with a large Italian-style manor house, and the delightful 17th century wine storehouse and barn in a green park.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Alain de Montmarin

Are you looking for a place that is out of the ordinary, soulless ballrooms and castles that lack privacy? Come visit us and you will fall, like us, under the spell of this extraordinary place, its century-old trees, its views between park and forest, and of course, a wine storehouse renovated according to the rules of the art to host your event.

Beauty of the place - Discretion of the owners..

Margaux H., married on 09/07/2024 5.0 A superb place with a lot of charm We celebrated our wedding at the Chai de Montaulieu, and we didn't regret it for a second! The owner of the place is accommodating, discreet, he perfectly maintains his entire estate which has many spaces for the different moments of the day. It was ideal and the light at the end of the day in September was magnificent :)

An area with a lot of character

Very beautiful estate with lots of character just like the barn and the loft. Welcoming owner and available if needed. The guests were delighted as well as the newlyweds. We recommend this place.

Out of the ordinary

Very beautiful estate in which we got married on June 12, 2021. The winery has a lot of character and the swimming pool is very pleasant. The park, well maintained, allowed us to have a ceremony under the trees, as well as to enjoy the shade of old oaks for our cocktail. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. All our guests appreciated the place.

Sumptuous estate

We celebrated our wedding at the Chai de Montaulieu. To be honest, this place is green, vast and offers multiple possibilities between the barn, the Chai, the swimming pool and the loft. To be honest... don't hesitate for a second. Holly and Alain are very welcoming hosts, excellent advice and will not hesitate for a second to assist you in the preparations for your wedding; in addition to recommending service providers or offering you a to-do list.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Le Chai de Montaulieu?

My daughter's! A religious ceremony in the meadow under a beautiful sun, an orchestra from the Antilles for the cocktail in front of the manor, a dinner under the tent and an unforgettable evening in the Chai. Not to mention brunch (with daïquiri and ti'punch of course...).

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

1. Select the venue (maybe 6 or 7). Let it germinate. Visit three thoroughly. Let it rest for 8 days. Go on an adventure 2. Choose the caterer (select according to what you like from super simple to super sophisticated): always taste what you are going to offer your guests. 3. Adjust your budget and make an appointment with your banker (or mom and dad).

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

I really like vintage cars. But of all the beautiful cars of the bride and groom, I prefer my Jeep Wrangler which goes very well with the Montauulieu estate...

Describe Le Chai de Montaulieu in 5 adjectives

Country but chic. Sophisticated but not too much.

Where’s the best photo spot at Le Chai de Montaulieu?

In the hilly terrain of the estate, photographers have plenty of different vantage points for intimate shots and group photos. And for those who want a sunset to die for, a jump to the nearby Arjuzanx Lake...
