It doesn't get much better than this... stunning scenery, a safe peaceful environment for little ones to run around, lovely interiors and fabulous wine on tap! Chateau Grand Pierre is a stunning estate of over 100 acres of vineyard, woodland and fields set in the gastronomic heart of France. It not only produces delicious wines but is also a fabulous place to stay.
The elegant honey coloured stone chateau can sleep sfive in its pretty guest house and has lovely outdoor terraces for taking in the views, reading a book, or the simple pleasures of watching little ones enjoy the freedom of the estate with the toys, sandpit, swings and scooters provided. Playtime for older guests comes in the form of an all-weather tennis court and a beautiful 15 metre outdoor pool - great for mini guests too thanks to its huge shallow end and wide steps for sitting and splashing.
Enjoy a truly private wine tour, play golf at the award winning Chateau Vigiers nearby, take the kids for a wander on the neighbouring riding school's Shetland ponies, have a picnic in the vineyard, or simply relax with a glass of the Chateau's own delicious sauvignon blanc by the swimming pool... idyllic!

We stayed with our toddler in May and cannot recommend the place more highly. Nikki had thought of absolutely everything on the kid front, the location of the property was fantastic, and the accommodation was beautiful - we definately plan to return!

We enjoyed staying at Grand Pierre so much that we booked up for the next year the day we got back! It is a magical place to wind down from hectic city life and to relax amidst beautiful surroundings. The children loved roaming the vineyards; we enjoyed the wine - all perfect! I can't recommend this place more.

Relaxing with our family for two weeks in Grand Pierre was a memorable experience. We loved the peace created by the combination of delicious wine, a warm welcoming house and the joy from watching our toddler explore the vines, fruits and nuts on our doorstep. The rich smell of fruit when cycling past the ripe plums stays with us today.

Grand Pierre is set in the beautiful rolling hills of Cotes de Duras - great Sauvignon Blanc country. The interior has been beautifully restored with a contemporary feel, but is also ideal for small children. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend a visit.

We stayed at Grand Pierre for one week, but wish it had been for three! Nikki and Julian have really thought of everything; the welcome we received upon arrival was especially lovely. When we landed back in London, the kids were practically inconsolable wanting to know when we would be going back...

We had the most magical week at Chateau Grand Pierre. We travelled with another family and between us had three children under 3. Chateau Grand Pierre was just perfect, with loads of room to run around for the children and lots for them to do. The swimming pool was safe and secure and there were all the amenities we would have wanted with young children (microwaves, stair gates, cots, high chairs etc). We also chose to utilise the services of a wonderful cook while we were there, which meant it was a true break for us all - a really rare thing with young children in tow. We would love to go back - it was one of our most lovely holidays and I would thoroughly recommend it for families or groups of families with young children. Nicky and Julian are very helpful and the setting and wine are great too. A lovely, lovely holiday
