Our Story
The dream for Chateau des Fleurs was conceived long before it became a reality. Founder and director,
Susan Roghani (formerly Susan Camille Beckman), built her own hand cream and personal care business in 1986, known as Camille Beckman. In 2000, when Camille Beckman moved its factory to Eagle, ID, the Roghani family envisioned an additional space among their campus that would as a functional place for people to gather for an array of special and momentous occasions; with a restaurant, art gallery, a place for afternoon tea, and gardens rife with beautiful wildflowers and honeybees.
By 2015, the next piece of this dream came finally came to fruition and coalesced into one of the most heartfelt and elegant venues in the country. With charming architecture reminiscent of old-world Europe, pristine marble floors, handcrafted molded oak doors with austere glass paneling, tall ceilings, and plenty of windows to allow in pure, natural light, Chateau des Fleurs brings to life many European-inspired elements akin to the distinguished architecture from the Palace of Versailles to France, to Rosemary Verey's graceful gardens in England.
The south gardens of Chateau des Fleurs are terraced with wide sweeping lawns dotted daintily with clover flowers with seasonal peonies, roses, and hydrangeas; making it a picturesque setting to walk hand-in-hand with loved ones or to sit in stillness, breathing in the fresh air coasting in from the Boise River rushing by a mere hundred yards away.
As you enter the building, you are greeted by the sight of breathtaking ornate crystal chandeliers, polished and twinkling in the airy, seeping expanse, of the grand hallway. Here, you will find yourself immersed in the peace and quiet beauty of this space, lulled by the greatest living collection of turn-of-the-century artwork by Lajos Márk of Hungary, whose work also adorned the Danube Palace of Budapest over 100 years ago.
Hidden away in the front alcove of the grand hallway, awaits the signature dining experience of Roghani's Restaurant, where a cozy and romantic, art-infused environment hosts delectable international cuisine and a wide variety of fine wines; including locally grown Idaho wine from our family-owned vineyards, Roghani Vineyards (Snake River Valley). On 40 acres of land, the Chateau boasts its own vegetable garden and orchard where seasonal harvests are incorporated into the menus of our restaurant and events.
The journey has been a long one, both infinitely rewarding and, at times, full of challenges. Yet we are blessed by the opportunity to share art and beauty with others, creating a generational backdrop perfect for all of life's momentous occasions. It is our dream that memories be made and shared here, with a grandfather one day walking his granddaughter down the same aisle he once walked upon to meet his bride.
