    Most incredible Tuscany wedding location

    I planned this wedding without a planner from USA. From the first time I emailed them last year to our wedding night, I have no words to describe how patient, kind, and professional they were. Sandra my point person at Vicchiomaggio made the entire process not just seamless and easy but SO fun! Coordinating 40 guests from around the world to Italy for this wedding in a pandemic, I would do it all over again at Vicchiomaggio! The wedding day, I had to pause and take a moment to just take in how amazing everything turned out!I was blown away and in awe, how they took my vision and you brought it to life, in a way that was even better.

    Our 3 night stay:
    We stayed with our 28 guests at Vicchiomaggio for our destination wedding weekend. I have no words to describe how magnificent the property is. It’s truly an old castle, the rooms are old world gorgeous and massive and pictures just don’t do it justice. The landscape is breath taking and the food and wine is incredible. From the moment of check in to check out, yes Vicchiomaggio as a place is STUNNING, but the reason why it is EVEN more amazing is because every staff member was the most kind and generous, and everyone felt so well taken care of. Every guest had nothing but wonderful things about their stay and how amazing everything was.

    Things are just slowly sinking in, on what a weekend it was. I will forever remember Vicchiomaggio and THANK YOU for the most memorable weekend and the best wedding a girl can ask for!

    Beautiful Castle for a perfect wedding.

    Beautiful castle. From the moment we visited the castle we knew it was going to be a perfect wedding. From the beautiful building its self to the beautiful courtyard, grounds and infinity pool. Not forgetting the garden lit by fairy lights making it feel like you are in a fairy tale. All of our guest could not believe that it existed it was so amazing. The rooms were comfortable, the facilities great and the staff so hospitable to everyone. Thank you Castello Vicchiomaggio.

    The wedding of our dreams!

    We had a wonderful experience getting married at Vicchiomaggio! We organized everything from Canada and Federica was very helpful, we felt like we were in good hands. Our wedding was perfect! Our guests loved the place and we would recommend it to anyone looking to get married in Tuscany.

    Fall Wedding

    Castello Vicchiomaggio was the perfect place to hold our fairytale wedding. From the moment we booked we were very well taken care of. I couldn't imagine a more beautiful place to stay and get married!

    Our dream wedding

    My husband and I decided to get married in Italy about a year ago and we tied the knot in Tuscany in Sept 2018. I worked with a wedding planner throughout the process but selected the venue, Castello Vicchiomaggio, myself before we began working with her.

    I worked with Sandra, who oversees events at the Castello and she was so easy to work with, incredibly organized and accommodating when we arrived prior to the wedding.

    The venue itself is a dream. The Castello sits up on a hill overlooking the surrounding vinyards and made for a breathtaking wedding location and fulfilled everything we had imagined. We hosted 50 guests and the castle had enough rooms to fully accommodate our immediate family and friends for 3 nights plus a great infinity pool to occupy them during the day. In addition to the space, the food was phenominal and all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about it throughout the weekend. The in-house chef was incredibly experienced and wow’d the entire party with everything from the dinner itself to the cake and wine.

    It’s only been a few months and we are already dying to return. I would recommend Castello Vicchiomaggio to anyone who is looking for a charming, historic location for their dream wedding. We are based in NYC, admittedly selective and particular and we wouldn’t have changed a single element.

    More than a dream wedding

    Where do I begin? I cannot say enough amazing things about Castello Vicchiomaggio and all the staff. My now husband and I had our wedding at Castello Vicchiomaggio on August 18, 2018. We spent Thursday through Sunday at the Castle with 30 of our closest friends and family. From arrival to departure, Sandra and Delphine were so welcoming and accommodating- making everything so easy and relaxing. The rest of the staff, from chefs to our wedding servers, to the grounds crew, know exactly what they are doing. The castle itself is very well kept, the food is excellent, and the wine is truly award winning. It’s so good, we now buy cases to serve at our family restaurant in CT! And I can’t forget to mention the infinity pool that overlooks the beautiful hills of Tuscany. It provides the perfect spot for all to relax before the big day.

    The wedding itself was picture perfect. The venue provides a truly beautiful Tuscan setting, with historic touches. The castle comfortably fit all 30 guests, where each guest had a bed, but it could hold more if needed. We had a Catholic ceremony in the Church of Santa Maria. This church is a true historic gem! I was worried since it was hot outside, the church would be too hot for guests. It wasn’t. The church keeps quite cool. The bar and food service during cocktail hour and our reception was flawless. Everyone was professional and on top of it all. We held our cocktail hour in the garden, the reception outside on the main gravel patio, and dancing outside on the covered patio near the garden.

    Castello Vicchiomaggio makes you feel like family. Did I mention my husband’s mother forgot a carry-on bag at the castle and they mailed it to us?! Bottom line, I would highly recommend this venue and tell you not to look anywhere else if planning a wedding in Tuscany!

    The most beautiful Tuscan setting!

    We got married here in August 2018 and it was the best decision! It was very hot that week but everyone at Vicchiomaggio did their best to help is. The setting is just stunning. Sandra was such a blessing and so wonderful to work with. Would highly recommend Castello Vicchiomaggio!

    Don't look anywhere else!

    Castello Vicchiomaggio is the most breathtakingly beautiful venue. From its location overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany to the quaint town of Greve, from the mouth watering handmade food to the homegrown wine, from the grand castle to the intimate feel the family who own it have created - you'd be hard pushed to find a better venue. We, and our guests, were simply blown away.

    The venue has an onsite chapel, an Italian gardens, a vineyard, a terrace, a courtyard, a ballroom - there's so many areas to choose from to host different parts of your day. There are also rooms where your guests can stay and lots of local B&B's and hotels for overflow guests.

    The food and wine is obviously something the Italians do well. Having all the food sourced locally and the wine from their own vineyard made our day feel all the more special. To this day, our guests still refer to our millefoglie chocolate chip cake as the best wedding cake they've ever had!

    The staff and family who own Vicchiomaggio are so friendly, helpful and easy to deal with. Whilst they are onsite for most of the time, you sometimes wouldn't even know they were there. No query or problem is too much for them.

    Honestly, if you're looking for a traditional Italian castle with that wow factor, then this is your place.

    Fairytale down to the last detail!

    We had our wedding at Castello Vicchiomaggio last May and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was. We rented the entire castle for 3 nights, sight unseen. We arrived to find the most beautiful backdrop, it’s seriously better than the photos. The staff was helpful and flexible in getting us in the proper rooms and settled. Our guests were just in awe as they arrived. The first night they made a beautiful dinner in the garden and cake for our daughter’s first birthday. The 2nd day many of us attended the wine and lunch tour - both were delicious. The wedding was that night and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I felt like a princess marrying my prince. Everything was perfect and gorgeous. It took my breath away. Every member of the staff was courteous and helpful. If you are looking for the perfect venue, look no further!

    Smooth and understanding organisation

    We organize our wedding from Paris which was quite challenging. Hopefully with the castello Vicchiomaggio team, we had a very kind and trustful relationship. So they offer the best they can to wedding organization, without any bad note or surprise. The best way to enjoy the wedding

    Stunning Castle in the heart of Greve in Chianti

    My husband and I got married at Castello Vicchiomaggio in September of 2018. We had the most incredible experience with the entire staff from day one! The property is owned by a wonderful family and we personally dealt with each member of the family throughout the process. Everyone was very accommodating to our needs. The property is SO beautiful and the food was to-die-for. All of our guests were blown away by the amazing meal and the beautiful views. We had so much fun relaxing by the pool the day before the ceremony and felt so relaxed throughout the entire stay. If you are considering Vicchiomaggio for your wedding venue then you have found the perfect venue.

    My husband and I went back this year for our anniversary and will be going back again this year as well! We love returning and seeing everyone, which says a lot. Truly a magical, magical place.

    All our love,
    Ali and Dani

    What.a. Dream

    We planned our wedding at Castello Vicchiomaggio from the USA with the help of InTuscany Wedding Planning and we are still questioning whether it was real life? We had seen pictures and had extensive video calls before deciding on this venue, but never saw it in person until we checked in on the Tuesday before our Friday wedding. The grounds are immaculate, with the most picturesque view of the Tuscan landscape. The courtyard was a perfect place for our welcome party (pizza dinner). We also hosted a wine tour/tasting/lunch for our guests, in addition to the actual wedding. The food, the drinks, the view, the pool, the wine, the service-everything- absolutely perfect. I would say the only downfall was the inconsistent communication with some aspects of planning and execution, but I know that is part of the Italian culture, just being more laid back. We hosted 57 people total, with 38 sleeping at the castle. The rooms are much more spacious than they look online and again, the pictures just don't do the venue justice. We would highly recommend this venue to our friends and cannot wait to go back for our anniversary next year. Thank you, Castello Vicchiomaggio, for helping make our dream wedding come true.
