Nestled in the heart of an ancient volcanic crater, Villa Baulieu provides an exceptional setting for both intimate weddings and grand celebrations. With its French formal gardens, intimate salons, and endless vineyard views, this wine estate near Aix-en-Provence does more than just host. It embraces. It inspires. It tells a story – yours, for the duration of a Villa Baulieu wedding.

What I particularly appreciate about a Villa Baulieu wedding is its perfect balance. Far from formatted luxury hotels, it maintains the soul of a family estate. Not just a backdrop, but a living, breathing place steeped in history. Every corner holds a surprise: an ancient library, a music room, a light-filled orangery.
The villa lends itself beautifully to customized formats. Would you prefer an alfresco dinner in the gardens followed by dancing in the salons? Or perhaps an elegant cocktail reception by the pool and a leisurely brunch orchestrated between the vineyard rows? This is exactly what we can create here. We compose the weekend like a à la carte menu, taking time to savor each moment.
And of course, the wines. Hosting your wedding at Villa Baulieu means offering your guests an authentic oenological discovery. You can arrange intimate wine tastings the evening before the wedding, or a wine safari for the curious. It’s both elegant and wonderfully convivial, perfect for setting the mood before the big day.
There are venues that impress. And then there are those that embrace. A wedding at Villa Baulieu is both. Here, luxury doesn’t shout; it settles subtly into every detail: the quality of the linens, the hushed silence of a salon, the discretion of the staff, always attentive without being intrusive.
Each room is a discovery. Some guests will spend long moments simply gazing at the view from their window. It’s the kind of place where disconnecting happens effortlessly. And for the couple, there’s a private suite set apart, a true sanctuary, decorated with care and personality.
The 300-hectare estate offers a genuine playground for all tastes: hammam, massage treatments in the rose gardens, natural swimming pool, tennis court, bicycles, even a helipad for those seeking a grand arrival. What I love is creating a perfectly paced program with my couples, without pressure. Time to reconnect, to savor, to celebrate.
