Château Canet is a historic 12th-century estate that specializes in wine and olive production. Located in the picturesque Languedoc region of South France, this family-run winery is owned by a Dutch-New Zealand family who has called France home for 30 years. Surrounded by lush vineyards, olive groves, and serene pine forests, Château Canet offers a unique glimpse into the rich culture and lifestyle of the region. The estate features beautifully restored winemaker’s cottages, now luxurious holiday homes perfect for family gatherings, weddings, or social events. With nine cottages named after their grape varieties, guests can enjoy stunning views of the pool, tennis court, and gardens, all nestled among the vines and olive trees.
Château Canet boasts 50 hectares of vineyards located in the heart of the Balcons de L’Aude in the Minervois region. The terroir is characterized by its limestone and clayey soil, benefiting from the Mediterranean climate and the cooling Atlantic winds. The winery adheres to Terra Vitis guidelines, promoting sustainable viticulture that nurtures sweet, fruity grapes while safeguarding the environment. Syrah is the dominant grape variety, covering over half of the estate's vineyards, alongside Grenache, Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon, Bourboulenc, Muscat, and Roussanne. The finest grapes are crafted into award-winning red, white, and rosé wines, making Château Canet an ideal destination for wine enthusiasts seeking relaxation and quality wines.

Write a reviewWe can't even begin put into words as to how amazing Victoria and Anna were for us for our wedding this May. They were so warm and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The venue is beautiful and was truly the most perfect setting for our wedding weekend. The venue lends itself to hosting different events across the weekend perfectly with wine tasting, ceremony, cocktail hour, wedding breakfast, reception and day after event all in different locations around the grounds. We started our weekend with a wine tour and tasting with Floris followed by charcuterie. Learning about Canet's wine was an incredible experience and there was such a lovely flow to the evening. A great welcome for our guests. We truly couldn't have imagined anything better. The team make the whole wedding planning experience extremely easy which was very reassuring and makes the whole process stress free. The breadth of supplier contacts they have aliviated pressures as we weren't based in France and any new suppliers we brought in were brought up to speed on the ins and outs without ourselves needing to do anything. Our guests and ourselves couldn't recommend Chateau Canet (and their wine) enough! Memories that will last a lifetime and somewhere we cannot wait to revisit. Lots of love, Kirsty & Tom

We’ve contacted Château Canet two years before our wedding and planned a little trip to the South of France to visit them. The contact via mail was already so easy, friendly and genuine. During our trip we would visit 4 venues and we scheduled Château Canet as the first one, as it was our favourite based on the pictures, reviews and videos. As soon as we drove on the driveway and saw the château through the trees, we instantly got a magical and fairytale feeling. During the first day and evening we both got the same feeling and said to each other: ‘this is the place, right!?’. We called the other venues, excused us, cancelled the visits and secured our wedding weekend date at Château Canet. The planning of the weekend went really well as they have a specific and organized way of working which shows all the details/aspects that need to be taken care of by them or by us, and those that need further discussion. This really helped planning everything. A year before the wedding they also planned a little food menu tasting at the château together with another couple that would get married there. This was fun! In the months prior to our wedding Anna and Victoria really intensely thought along to realize our dream wedding. During our wedding weekend, nothing was too much to ask. Anna and Victoria took care of everything and were so friendly for us and our guests. Everybody felt so welcome and loved. They took care of all the coordination (also with suppliers) during the festivities and made sure that everything and everyone was at the right place at the right time. Château Canet became our happy place which we will keep visiting since it feels like coming home. We would highly recommend Château Canet!

I had my wedding here with my husband this past Saturday and I can genuinely say it was the most perfect weekend of my whole entire life. Aside from the weekend itself, the genuine care and kindness from our very first meeting with Anna was noticed immediately. We keep talking about the fact that so many people complain about wedding planning and how difficult and stressful it is, and we laugh because ours was a breeze. There was not one stressful moment in the planning process. Any questions, challenges, or desires were dealt with immediately and appropriately. The whole team at Canet went above and beyond to bring our dreams to reality. The grounds of the chateau are immaculate. The accommodations blew our guests away. The food through the entire weekend was absolutely delicious. The wine is better than what can be described with words. Every single moment was beyond 5 stars. Our wedding day itself was truly better than anything we could have imagined. Anna, Victoria and Floris left a mark on us that we will never ever forget. They truly open their arms and take you and your guests in as their own for the entire weekend. No body wanted to leave. Thank you so much, Anna, Victoria and Floris from The bottom of our hearts for giving us the best weekend of our entire life. We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives! We will be counting the days until we can come back and visit again.

Last week we had a magical weekend at Chateau Canet with our friends & family for our wedding. Chateau Canet is a stunning wedding venue with romantic corners and spots, beautiful surroundings with the vineyards and olive garden. But most of all we fell in love with the place, when we booked it and throughout our stay there, because of the warm and passionate hosting of Victoria and Floris. Together with Anna, they were always around to help us and to make our guests feel welcome every single day. Anna and Victoria are very professional and they think of all the details and help you for all the preparations in advance and at the venue. The wine tour of Floris is super interesting and you feel the passion for wine making. The wines are exquisite and it gives the venue such a nice extra. The accommodations are well maintained, and everything you need to enjoy to the fullest. The venue has so many character and charm. And we also loved the sweet dogs Nelson and Miles who accompany you during a walk around. Het Every guest arrived with an open mouth and left with a big smile. Thank you Victoria, Floris and Anna for facilitating our magical wedding weekend at Chateau Canet. We will definitely come back for celebrating our anniversary and to revive our wedding weekend! Lots of love, Kim & Chelsea
