Organise a cousin party on a wine estate, the ideal place for a cousin party.
If you're planning a cousin party and looking for the perfect venue, you'll find the solution here! For some years now, many families have been organising cousinades. These fashionable events are an opportunity to bring together all the family, both close and far, for a day or more. Cousin parties can bring together dozens of people, so they need to be well organised and, above all, be held in a suitable venue.
A wine estate could be the ideal solution. Find out why in this topic.
What is a cousinade?
A cousinade is a family reunion that includes first and second cousins. Some cousinades extend this circle even further by inviting uncles, aunts, grandparents and so on. The uniqueness of a cousin party lies in the fact that it brings together as many family members as possible in a joyful, festive atmosphere, providing an additional opportunity to get together outside the traditional celebrations: birthdays, Christmas, Easter, etc.
Organising a cousinade is a way of celebrating the family in its broadest sense. It is often an opportunity to see family members you rarely see, or even to meet some of them for the first time.
How long does a cousinade last?
There are no real rules when it comes to the length of a cousinade. It can last a single day, but it can also be spread over several days to keep the festivities going over a weekend or more.
If one thing is certain, it's that having more time will allow each member of the family to talk to each other for longer and create new bonds.
For greater convenience, it's usually best to organise a cousin party over a weekend, a weekend extended by a "bridge" or during a holiday period.
Where to organise a cousinade?
Given the number of people expected to attend this type of event, it seems very complicated to envisage organising a cousinade at home, unless you have sufficient space and the capacity to accommodate them. When there are too many people, it's best to choose a suitable venue.
For example, if the cousinade is being organised over several days, it's ideal to choose a venue that provides accommodation, reception areas and catering. Resort hotels are generally very familiar with this type of event.
The choice of location is also important. It has to suit as many people as possible. It can also be a symbolic place relating to family history, for example.
Why organise a cousinade in Provence?
Provence is a particularly pleasant region, and the ideal setting for a cousinade. In this part of France, where life is good, you can organise your event from spring to late autumn, with the assurance of good weather that will make everyone agree.
