Planner’s Note
Peralada brings something few venues can – Michelin-level gastronomy inside a real castle, surrounded by vineyards. It’s the venue I suggest first for couples who want their wedding menu to be as memorable as the setting.

About This Venue
A Historic Castle Estate with Michelin-Starred Gastronomy in the Emporda
In the heart of the Emporda wine region, just 7km from Figueres and 40km from Girona, Belka Destination Weddings partners with Castell Peralada, a historic castle estate combining a private church, a library, terraced gardens, and the grand Mirador del Castell hall. Gastronomy comes from chef Paco Perez, holder of five Michelin stars, and couples celebrating over 100 guests receive a complimentary wedding-night stay at the affiliated 5-star Hotel Peralada. With Girona-Costa Brava, Barcelona-El Prat, and even Perpignan airports all within reach – plus an AVE high-speed rail station in nearby Figueres – Peralada is one of the most accessible Costa Brava venues for international guests.
What Makes It Different
Three Reasons
Couples Choose This Estate
01
Gastronomy by a Five-Michelin-Star Chef
Castell Peralada’s kitchens are led by Paco Perez, whose restaurants collectively hold five Michelin stars – a genuine culinary headline for the wedding menu itself.
02
A Castle, Church, Library, and Gardens in One Estate
From a private on-site church for religious ceremonies to a historic library and terraced gardens, couples can give each part of the day its own distinct, atmospheric space.
03
A Free Wedding Night at the 5-Star Hotel Peralada
Weddings of 100 or more guests receive a complimentary night in the affiliated Hotel Peralada, just a kilometre from the castle, with its own WineSpa and golf course.

Best For
◈ Foodie couples who want Michelin-level gastronomy as a central part of the day
◈ Large weddings up to 600 guests wanting several distinct historic spaces
◈ Couples wanting multi-airport accessibility, including a France-adjacent option via Perpignan
Not Ideal For
◈ Couples wanting to rent the entire castle exclusively – it remains a working resort with a restaurant, casino, and museum sharing the grounds
◈ Couples wanting to bring their own external caterer as a default option, rather than an exceptional request
◈ Couples on a tight budget – this is one of the more premium-positioned venues in Belka’s Costa Brava portfolio
Also Suits Milestone Celebrations
Castell Peralada, with its Michelin-level gastronomy and historic Emporda setting, is equally suited to milestone celebrations as to weddings – a landmark birthday, an anniversary gala, or a significant family occasion. In Peralada, Costa Brava, the estate’s library, gardens, and grand Mirador del Castell hall accommodate up to 600 guests, with the affiliated 5-star Hotel Peralada available for a celebratory weekend stay.
