Enchanting Wedding Venues in Italy’s Wineries
For many couples, the concept of a wedding ceremony is often envisioned with traditional backdrops such as churches or modern town halls. However, envisioning a wedding against a backdrop of vibrant vines, sun-ripened grapes, and olive trees swaying in the breeze evokes a unique charm.
As the Roman poet Ovid eloquently stated in his work “The Art of Love” around 17 AD, wine not only “warms the blood” but also has been a longtime companion to love. Therefore, what better setting for your wedding than the idyllic landscapes of Italian vineyards?
From the picturesque hills of Piedmont to the captivating landscapes of Tuscany, we present some of the finest venues for couples seeking to celebrate their nuptials at Italy’s most beautiful wineries.
Chiesa Del Carmine, Umbria
A lovingly restored farmhouse enveloped by serene meadows, Chiesa Del Carmine exudes rustic charm while providing modern amenities perfect for weddings. This eight-bedroom farmhouse offers ample space for a bridal party, featuring tastefully renovated accommodations with original wooden beams and plush Italian furnishings. Many rooms boast sun-drenched terraces, with Assisi offering sweeping views over the olive groves and vineyards.
Guests can explore beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with stone fountains, shaded aperitivo tables, and a sparkling turquoise pool framed by a stunning vine-draped pergola.

Following a symbolic ceremony, couples receive a wedding certificate from Chiesa del Carmine, which is followed by a delightful dinner under the stars.
