Now taking reservations for:
And now – its’s almost 2025 Couples Party time –!!!
We have booked most of our Guest Hosts and they are a FANTASTIC group.
HERE’S THE ALMOST COMPLETED 2025 COUPLES PARTY DATES AND GUEST HOST LIST.
May 17th MISTRESS ISABELLE SINCLAIRE
For more than twenty years Isabella has been considered one of the very best professional Masters in the world. Her accomplishments are amazing; her impact on our society and contemporary BDSM is incalculable.
We were honored and thrilled when Isabella agreed to be our Guest Mistress for May of 2024. Since then, Isabella has become a trusted friend. She was the perfect person to start last year’s party season , and this year – it’s two in a row! What more can I say. This soiree’s guest list is already half booked. If you want to attend, please let me know asap.
JUNE 21ST MASTER AVERY
One of our favorite Masters is back for his third Guest Host experience! On one hand, it’s hard to find a professional Master of any quality. On the other hand, Avery is a Master with oh so many qualities. Nationally recognized for his work with both (all?) genders, Master Avery is a walking erotican. (Yes – I just made that word up, but it suits him perfectly.) Master Avery is one of our most frequently requested Guest Hosts. If you’ve been to an Avery soiree, you know why that is.
MISTRESS TISSA SEPTEMBER 20TH
Next up, a first time Guest Mistress, and one of the best there is. Philadelphia’s finest, Mistress Tissa, will be bringing her wonderful talents and intellect to La Domaine on September 20th. We love when individualistically Pagan, Wise Woman Dominas come through our doors. Mistress Tissa truly fits in that parameter. In the past decade she has built a solid reputation based on her BDSM involvement; a constant involvement reflected in the power of her sessions work and her community impact. Her insight into the BDSM psyche, and its connection to everything the spirit has to offer, from food, to sex, to the earth itself, has us all looking forward to what promises to be a remarkable visit. Her wisdom and intellect will be in full bloom in her afternoon workshop: “the psychology of power, position and fetishism. .” This is a workshop for everyone of all skill and experience levels.
ROBERT DANTE OCTOBER 18
YES!!! We thought we had lost him forever due to old age, blindness and human frailty, but you just can’t keep a great whipmaster down. I am thrilled to announce Robert Dante is with us all again!!!!
Robert Dante is THE Master of the fine art of bull-whippery. His ability is remarkable. He is even in The Guiness Book of World Records for his speed and accuracy in target whipping. Those of us who have been fortunate to see his skill level have memories of greatness that will last forever. (When you call to reserve – ask me about the mosquitoes.)
Robert will be doing a how to workshop in the afternoon. His teaching ability is as impressive as his whippery. If you’ve never thrown a whip, he will more than get you going. If you are a skilled whipper, he will add polish. If you cannot attend the party/workshop, then be sure to read his instruction book: “Let’s Get Cracking.”
WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVING ROBERT DANTE!
NOVEMBER 15TH MISTRESS CRIMSON
Mistress Crimson is one of NYC’s superb “Old School” Pro-Dommes. Crimson has been enormously influential in the development of La Domaine since its inception in 1993. She is also one of La Domaine’s most frequent Guest Mistresses. I have lost count of how many times we have had the honor of hosting Mistress Crimson, but I am certain it is more than a dozen – that is how much we love and appreciate her. This will be THE party of the year for all levels of play, interests and fetishes. If you want to meet one of the legends – this is your chance.
THE 2025 COUPLE PARTY SEASON already has five of BDSM greats coming to Guest Host, and I have yet to fill in July and August. Party tributes are the same as last year: $125 a couple, $350 an individual, $750 for the “Party Plum” position.
REMEMBER: in the words of the greatest of all times Dominatrix Belle Du Jour: “When La Domaine has a Couple Party, it is the hottest place on earth.”
IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE
THE CHOCOLATE TASTING AND AFTER-PARTY IS NOW FEB. 22 nd
TASTING FROM 2 – 5. DUNGEON PARTY FROM 8 – ?
Unfortunately, our plans to do the Valentine’s week Chocolate Tasting on Feb 15th didn’t work out. Our Chocolustier, slave beauty, had to request the re-schedule. Those of you who have told me you are coming, oh, I mean attending, will now need to reconfirm reconfirm.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with our Valentine’s Week Annual Chocolate Tasting, here’s the details. Slave beauty is a renown desert chef and Master of all things chocolate. For the past several years, she has done her remarkable CHOCOLATE LECTURE AND TASTING here at La Domaine. She begins with a slide lecture presentation on how the magic beans are grown, harvested, cured, processed and turned into the world’s best chocolate. Then, slave beauty guides us through the tasting of some of those world’s best and often often gold medal winners. We explore flavors, textures, tempering and just about everything else that is happening in our mouths. It’s quite a remarkable learning experience. Last year’s selection ranged from Massachusetts to Peru, to Madagascar, to Denmark, to Tanzania and other countries. The range of flavors and textures etc is always absolutely amazing. Those of us who have been attending for years have even reached a point where we can compare yearly vintages of the world’s best chocolates! After the tasting is concluded, one very lucky slave gets all the left-over bits and pieces strategically placed on their body, and – do I really need to tell you the rest? Let’s just say:” Yes Dorothy, chocolate really is anaphrodisiac.”
After the afternoon revelry, we take a dinner break, and then guests return to La Domaine for the party at eight in the dungeon. This always seem to be one of the sexiest parties of the year and that is probably because: “Yes Dorothy, chocolate really is an aphrodisiac.”
Tributes for this extravaganza: Tasting $75 an individual, $125 couple. Party $300 an individual, $125 a couple,. Tasting and party $350 an individual, $200 a couple. (Individuals at La D parties get a lot of our attention, – no wall flowers allowed, unless of course the individual is a voyeur!)
Like all our food events in the dungeon, attendance is very limited. To be sure you are on the list, everyone now needs to get in touch with me, even if you have already given a verbal commitment or said you would like to attend. Best way to reserve is to call: 518 375 3387, 10 – 7 est, m – f.

Celebrating 30+ Years
For more than three decades, La Domaine has been providing, as Skin Two Magazine said in 1996: “High Level SM.” Now, more than two decades later, reviewed in media around the world, having been the subject of TV shows and documentaries from Australia, Russia, Germany, Venezuela, England, and the US, and having been published and quoted as experts in newspapers and magazines as wide ranging as the Huffington Post to the London Sun, and with appearances on Lisa Ling and Vice Network among others, LA DOMAINE ESEMAR remains a simple, small, ranch house, with down to earth people, on a beautiful mountain side in upstate NY.
Training, Events, Education & Getaway
That ranch house just happens to provide some of the finest training for Mistress, Masters, slaves and submissives, professional and private, house and personal, found anywhere. It is also THE Get-away For Couples; the very first Bed & Dungeon. (Master R coined the term in 1993!) In the past 30 years, over 700 Couples have visited La Domaine. They have learned and loved here, and many of them still think of La Domaine as “home.”
The La Domaine Mistresses and Masters are like no others. With their firmly and carefully developed sense of the importance of BDSM in human psyche, La Domaine sessions, offered to individuals and couples, are at the highest end of professional BDSM session skill.
La Domaine’s Mistress and Master in Training Program has trained some of the finest professional and private Mistresses and Masters around today. Short visit, weekend and in-depth training are all available.
We also have: the most amazing, Couples Parties with special Guest Workshop presentations, an incredibly well-equipped Dungeon, a large, out-of-doors play space, Special Events and Educational Workshops and gourmet Dinners in the Dungeon. The La Domaine Kitchen is renown among chefs, and uses only the finest organic and all natural foods! Come dine with us.
Master R is available to provide and has been giving Educational Presentations and Workshops for Colleges, Mensa groups, BDSM organizations and rowdy bars since 1985. He is frequently joined by other members of the La Domaine family. These presentations are often said to be life changing. Please use the contact information below to inquire.
With all this to offer, we ask you be patient while we bring our new website to fulfillment. All the links will soon have both the appropriate information and the sexy photos you came to expect when you went to the old website.
Think You Are Not Advanced Enough?
One of the most important things to remember when looking through our website is that everyone here started as a beginner. We all greatly enjoy working with beginners, and we feel there is no better place on earth to start your explorations. One of the most central precepts we teach here is: “It does no good to take anyone anyplace they do not belong.”
This danger is one that novices face in their explorations, but it is a danger that is lessened here specifically because of the advanced level of expertise you will encounter at La Domaine. At La Domaine, no one will ever take you somewhere you do not want to go. We will even stop you from going to places we feel you are not yet ready to explore.
Please do not feel deterred because you think you are not advanced enough to share with us. Rather, you should feel this is the finest, as well as the safest, place, to begin your earliest explorations. If you are taking the first few steps out of your own bedroom, whether you are an individual or a couple, please understand that you are welcome to come and grow with the extremely knowledgeable Mistresses, Masters and slaves at La Domaine, and your sexuality will be the most enhanced by starting with the best that is available for your journey.
We Look Forward To Hearing From You
