established in 2018
WELCOME…It’s been said that home is where the heart is and that is exactly the way we felt the day we first stepped through the large black front door of Chateau Blanc—that feeling you get when the one you love gives you a big warm hug and the peaceful serenity of knowing you are exactly right where you are supposed to be. To fully understand our dream come true we must take you back in time to 2010 when we first met. A kismet encounter that would change our lives forever.
Two, hearts, two countries, one love, and that is exactly how it all started in the fall of 2010. I was a passenger with a long career in the hospitality industry on my very first cruise ship, and he was the Cellar Master in charge of all the wines on board the ship. Nothing short of a match made in heaven! Falling in love and discovering we had a shared passion for the hospitality industry was the easy part. Getting in the same country in order to make a dream of owning our own place and sharing our love of great hospitality was another.
For the next three years we worked on our love story from a distance while we waited for our immigration paperwork to process. During that time, I traveled to India three times to visit —each journey gaining a deeper respect for the world in which my husband had grown up in. I marveled at how he carried his hospitality experience into his everyday life no matter on a ship or on land in the poorest of countries. I came from a world of convenience. Everything was easy in comparison. He taught me what it means to always be humble and kind, to walk by your faith and that if you don’t take a risk, then you're taking up too much space. We taught each other what it means to put faith in love and to believe that nothing is impossible.
All of this brings us to 2018 and the acquisition of Chateau Blanc. We knew we wanted to find a property that was not only wonderful now but has the potential to grow into an even better version of itself in the coming years. We wanted a place that would make our guests feel right at home the minute you walk through that big black door. Whether it be for a weekend getaway, a family reunion or any reason for people to come together to celebrate, our house is your house for as long or as short as you can stay.
Thank you for being our guests!
Cheers!
