Corporate Executive Off-site
Host Your Executive Off-site at Château Venise
An executive off-site — known in Quebec as a "lac-à-l'épaule" — is your leadership team's chance to step back, think deeply, and strengthen cohesion, away from the office in a calm, private setting.
- Private estate with direct private lakefront access
- Equipped conference rooms for your working sessions
- 4,000 sq ft of common areas and expansive gardens for downtime between discussions
- Full on-site accommodation for the length of your stay
Step Back, For Real
Away from the office and the city, the estate provides the mental space needed to think deeply about strategic issues.
The Lake as a Backdrop
Direct access to the private beach and waterfront completely changes the tone of discussions compared to a standard conference room.
A Flexible Pace
Move between structured work sessions and free-form walks or reflection, without being tied to a meeting-room schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sets an executive off-site apart from a regular leadership meeting?
The format is typically longer and less structured, with more time devoted to reflection and informal discussion than formal presentations.
Is the estate quiet and secluded?
Yes — the estate is entirely private, on the shores of Lake Champlain, away from traffic and urban distractions.
Can we hold walks or discussions outdoors?
Absolutely. The gardens, private beach, and expansive outdoor space are well suited to informal discussions on the move.
How many days do you recommend for an executive off-site?
Most of our groups book 2 to 3 days, which leaves enough time to truly disconnect from daily routines before diving into substantive discussions.
