The scenic town of Paarl is one of the most popular places in the Cape Winelands and rightfully so – with its beautiful countryside and spectacular scenery this town is home to some of the most idyllic wedding venues in the Cape Winelands.

Nestled in the heart of the Paarl Valley lies Nantes Estate; a truly unique function venue, waiting to embrace you with its charm. Offering a magnificent setting amidst beautiful vineyards and dramatic views over the Drakenstein Mountains, Nantes is the perfect venue for a special occasion.

On arriving the grand venue unfolds as you drive up the hill – standing proud and welcoming guests.
The outside, landscaped garden lends itself as a perfect garden ceremony area, where guests can enjoy the outdoors and surrounding view while you say your I Do’s.

The newly renovated, elegant venue can be compared to a private home with its surrounding gardens, many rooms and double-storey space. The venue upstairs provides a stylish reception which comfortably seats up to 200 people and extends out on to the balcony – offering guests expansive views over the valley. And if you’re lucky, you get to see the surrounding mountains and valley turn a shade of pink during those balmy, summer evenings   – c'est romantique!

The swimming pool area provides an ideal backdrop for pre-dinner drinks making Nantes Estate a perfect location for weddings.  With the addition of accommodation on-site including bridal suite, 2 guest rooms and in-house co-ordinator makes this the perfect setup and is exclusively yours for the day.
