Located in Amador County within the Shenandoah Valley wine country is the stunning Davancy Chateau – a sister property to nearby Helwig Winery. A little secret that Helwig’s been keeping for very special events and additional lodging in association with Helwig events, this is a wonderful options for a long weekend stay and creative events for up to 75 guests. When envisioning a private estate with the conveniences of home and intimacy, Davancy Chateau is the perfect consideration. Two buildings sit beautifully on this 60 acre property; 40 acres are planted with grapes. The first building is an adorable Carriage House. This small loft space has a full designer kitchen, bath and indoor laundry. A perfect honeymoon getaway and it’s just feet away from the main house… but private!
The main house is a prominent, stately structure, built in 1994 and boasting hand crafted milled slate roofing. It offers sleeping for 12-16 people with over-sized living spaces throughout. This French inspired estate has endless smaller sleeping rooms, patios extending off of many rooms, and another bridal suite option within the main house. This beautiful suite offers a balcony terrace and a very large in-room hot tub. There is a master game room upstairs and on the main floor, the kitchen (fit for a queen) and dining areas showcase two prominent fireplaces. We have not included too many interior shots, but you can check them out on the website; Davancy Chateau is the perfect venue for a small wedding or social/party enjoyed on the beautiful grounds. The immediate surrounding acres off of the main house extend from a back patio to a full lap pool. The space is equipped with full surround sound and exterior lighting that makes the entire home glow at night. The arbor area sits above the pool patio and is ideal for a small ceremony on the lawn. This semi-circle arbor is covered in wisteria, glows with café lighting, and offers a gorgeous backdrop.
The very best kept secret on this property is the tiered grassy ceremony space overlooking the country pond. Canopied by trees, a warm summer day will be enjoyed in this lovely spot. This has the sweetest photo op with a short dock and a charming boat for rowing. The surrounding views are of grapevines, hillsides, valleys, distance views of the Sierras, and pristine landscaping.
What a perfect little secret Davancy Chateau is willing to share with you! We appreciate our traveling companion and photographer friend, Mike Regan of 5 Finger Photo for taking these images; a few were added from Davancy’s website.
