The area
The estate lies in Draguignan, the gateway town to the Verdon. On Tuesday mornings, the market of Lorgues sets out its stalls under the plane trees; the hilltop village of Tourtour looks down from the next hills, and the Verdon gorges are about an hour away. For the early arrivals: a tasting of the estate's wines, or the Vigne à Vélo cycle route through the vineyards.

Who is Fervenza?
Fervenza is a French company that plans weddings with everything included. With Émilie and the whole team, we’re already planning the weddings of 2027 and 2028.
- French company, licensed live-event producer Your contract is governed by French law
- Covered by professional liability insurance
How much does a wedding at Domaine Rabiega cost?
From £46,000, all-inclusive, for about 80 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you get it in writing within a week.
Can the price change?
Once we’ve agreed, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, a wish added along the way.
What if one of our suppliers can’t make it?
We replace them. They’re our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.
Can we insure our wedding?
Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd’s. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can’t be there, as set out in the policy terms.
What if we booked the estate directly?
You can, it's a lovely house. The estate rents you its 26 rooms, its gardens, its pool and its restaurant, and its kitchen cooks for you. You then bring together the flowers, the decor, the music, the photographer, the running of the day, the welcome of your guests. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the estate keeps its own rate. You come to get married.
How many guests can we invite?
Up to 100 at the table and 120 for drinks, about 50 of them sleeping on the estate. At 50, everyone sleeps on site: the whole weekend together, from the pool to the table.
Which dates are still free?
The estate is open all year, except between Christmas and New Year, and its pool from April to October. Tell us your date, we check with Domaine Rabiega and reply in writing.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes: in the garden, under the olive trees, on the terrace, or at the edge of the vines between two barrels topped with flowers. You choose your words and your officiant, your people sit facing the rows.
Can we have our civil wedding in Draguignan?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the estate. Draguignan town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at the estate.
Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?
Yes: three airports are about an hour's drive away, La Môle-Saint-Tropez at 35 km, Toulon-Hyères at 52, Nice at 89. From Paris, a direct TGV reaches Les Arcs-Draguignan in about 4 h 30. A helipad is open nearby during the day, and about 50 guests sleep on site.
Until what time can we party?
Until 3 in the morning, with the estate all yours. About 50 of your guests sleep on site, a few steps from bed. The others stay in Draguignan, right next door. We give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.
Who cooks on the day?
The estate's own kitchen: seasonal Mediterranean cooking, made to go with the Rabiega wines. The menu is built with you, and vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free guests are looked after.
Where do we get ready?
On the estate. One of you gets ready in the Deluxe room, with its private terrace facing the vines, a lounge corner for your people and a large bathroom. The other, in a Superior room with its own terrace, a few steps away.
Will our grandparents be comfortable?
Yes: the estate is accessible to guests with reduced mobility, the car park is on site and free, every room is air-conditioned, and the family dog is welcome too.
When is the lavender in bloom?
From mid-June to mid-July, on the hills a few minutes from the estate. A lovely drive for your guests the day before, and a colour idea for your tables.
Coming from abroad: how does it work?
Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
