A Wine Estate, Exclusively Yours.

Villa Mangiacane is an exclusive-use estate taken in its entirety for a wedding weekend. Ceremonies are held beneath the frescoed loggia, in the Italian garden courtyard or among the olive oil gardens; receptions unfold in the terrace-view salons or under the stars by the pool. The estate's own Chianti Classico flows; catering is custom. Twenty-eight rooms sleep up to 60 guests, with the Nadushka Spa and La Barricaia cellar for the days before and after.

Chianti Classico from Vine to Table.

The estate produces around 50,000 bottles of Chianti Classico and extra-virgin olive oil annually; both reach the wedding table. In-house chefs compose seasonal menus matched to each event, served in the salons, on the terraces or in La Barricaia, the ancient vaulted wine cellar that seats up to 100 for intimate dinners with no music curfew.
