DISCOVER

OUR TANGO CHATEAU

Our retreat will take place at a tranquil chateau in the Minervois region of Languedoc, a stone’s throw away from the medieval city of Carcassonne.

Nestled amongst beautiful vineyards and olive groves, the Chateau will be exclusively ours for the duration of the trip.

We’ll dance tango in L’Orangerie under high, timbered ceilings, chandeliers and fairy lights.

Between tangos, you can take a dip in the heated swimming pool, head to the tennis court or explore 115 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and pine forests.

 

Tango, wine and unforgettable memories…

LOCATION

There are direct flights from London Stanstead to Carcassonne (20 minutes from the Chateau) and Toulouse (1 hour 20 minutes from the Chateau)

When booking your flights please note that check-in will be after 2 pm on Friday and check-out at 10 am on Monday.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?

Yes, you do need some!

We can only accept those who have taken at least 6 months regular tango classes before booking the holiday.

 

CATERING

 

Breakfast:

Your cottage will be stocked with tea, coffee and homemade jam. Fresh croissants and baguettes will be delivered to your cottage every morning.

Lunch:

Lunches will be self-catered – each cottage has its own kitchenette and terrace.

Don’t fancy cooking? If you join our Saturday day trip to the medieval city of Carcassonne, you can grab lunch in one of the many cafes and restaurants.

And on Sunday, we will have a fabulous picnic in the picturesque vineyards. Bring your own goodies!

Dinner:

We will have a welcome BBQ on Friday night, an Argentine empanada truck on Saturday night and a farewell dinner on Sunday. 

Wine:

The Chateau is a working vineyard, so there is no better place if you’re a wine lover! Bottles of fine wine can be purchased at the Chateau boutique.

ACCOMMODATION

The Chateau has charming accommodation arranged in 9 unique cottages of varying sizes. Each cottage has 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms with its own terrace and kitchenette.

You can book a double, a twin or another shared option (3 – 5 guests).

Most of the cottages share their bathroom, kitchenette and terrace with 1 other room.

 

TANGO

A total tango immersion with 4 inspiring workshops by leading tango teachers, David & Kim Benitez, as much practice time as you could wish for and 3 atmospheric milongas under beautiful fairy lights.

On Saturday night we will have the joy of dancing to live music by “El Trio Cafetin” who will play a repertoire of danceable tango salon classics. 

Last year we were even dancing tango in the swimming pool. 

A little slice of tango heaven!

TESTIMONIALS

I’m curled up with coffee and a hot water bottle  and wondering if it was all a lovely dream. I had high expectations, knowing your standards, but you exceeded them in every way to create a home-from-home, a place of warmth, elegance, beauty and esprit de corp.

Thank you for all of this and for my place in the Tango Movement family.

To all my beautiful companions this weekend, let’s raise our coffee cups this morning and give a final toast to the châtelaine and châtelain of Chateau Tango.
