About This Venue

An 18th-Century Aristocratic Estate — Once Visited by a King

La Vallesa de Mandor is an 18th-century aristocratic estate in Riba-roja de Túria, twenty minutes from Valencia, set within the protected Turia Natural Park. Belka Destination Weddings works with this exclusive Gourmet Catering & Eventos property for couples planning weddings and private celebrations in English or Russian across the Valencia & Surroundings region. Its 15,000m² of French-style gardens, scented with orange and pine, have hosted celebrations since the estate earned its noble title in 1921 — including a royal luncheon for King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia in 1923.


What Makes It Different

Three Reasons
Couples Choose This Estate

01

A Garden Fit for a King

In 1923, King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia visited the estate and were hosted to lunch here — a piece of royal history that still lingers in its French-style gardens.

02

Only One Wedding a Day

The estate hosts a single wedding per day, giving every couple full run of the 15,000m² grounds and the flexibility to choose a day or night celebration.

03

Direct Line to a 1957 Catering House

Gourmet Catering & Eventos has run this estate exclusively since 1997 and traces its own roots to 1957, giving the kitchen a level of polish that comes from decades of dedicated experience.
