Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

Lovely area. The rooms were very nice. Housekeeping was not consistent. We had a party of 7 and could not get a reservation for dinner the day of even though we were staying there. It appears they cater to conventions. The winery was interesting. I don’t think they have enough staff to manage the restaurants or housekeeping. The spa was excellent.

Hannah was amazing on our wine tour and tasting! She is very knowledgeable and personable and made it super fun!!

What a miss...They charged us Cheval Blanc prices and provided Hampton Inn accommodations and services. Granted it was perhaps their biggest weekend of the year with the race going on up the road but charging 4 times the normal rate is robbery. No help with our luggage even though the staff was watching us struggle up the steps, no show for maid service in our second room, the smallest bathroom amenities known to man, mold in the grout in the cheap shower, ceiling was falling apart in the bathroom, door handle coming off, pillow cases that were for a standard pillow fitted on a king pillow (which was a ball of hard, lumpy foam, curtains that don't close or open all the way that even housekeeping left barely open and we had to stand on the couch to close, for $1800/night they can not provide paper and a pencil to write on? and why do they have the opening of the duvet cover at your face so we can share the germs with the previous guests? Furthermore, we were in the "spa" building with a gym that was big enough for two people and I am hoping I can get the "spa" smell out of our clothes and luggage when we get home.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Château Élan Winery & Resort while attending a conference, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the beautifully presented and exceptionally comfortable room, every detail reflected a commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. The welcome reception hosted in the winery was a wonderful way to begin the event, offering a fantastic atmosphere and a chance to experience the property's unique charm. The following morning started with an excellent breakfast before we headed into a very well-organized meeting in the conference center. Later that evening, we were treated to a truly memorable gala dinner featuring outstanding food, impeccable presentation, and seamless service throughout the event. What stood out most was the quality of the team. Every staff member I encountered was professional, friendly, engaging, and genuinely focused on creating a great guest experience. I even had the opportunity to meet Stephen Sowards, Managing Director, and personally thank him for leading such an exceptional team. The culture of excellence he has fostered is clearly evident throughout the resort. All in all, Château Élan delivered an amazing experience that perfectly combined luxury accommodations, outstanding event facilities, exceptional dining, and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend it for conferences, special events, or a relaxing getaway, and I look forward to returning.

Dalia was an excellent tour guide. I’m not a wine enthusiast but her expertise and the experience she provided made me want to become one! Definitely recommend this tour and tasting!
