Why We Love Planning Weddings at Castello di Banfi
We adore planning at Castello di Banfi because it is a complete sensory experience. From a designer’s perspective, the castle’s warm stone and terracotta tones provide a stunning neutral palette. As Sabrina always says, this allows us to be intentional with design, using lush, romantic florals to soften the historic architecture and strategic lighting to transform the courtyard into an unforgettable, magical space as dusk falls.
Logistically, the beauty of having the exclusive Il Borgo on-site is that it creates a private retreat for you and your inner circle. This allows us to craft a truly seamless guest journey, from private tours of the world-renowned cellars to curated truffle hunting excursions. While the estate feels wonderfully remote, our team’s deep experience here ensures we orchestrate complex logistics like guest transport and vendor access with invisible precision, so all you and your loved ones ever feel is the magic.
Event Spaces: Ceremony, Reception, and More
Castello di Banfi offers a collection of magnificent spaces that allow for a dynamic and flowing celebration.
Enoteca Courtyard
Sheltered by the medieval castle walls, this stone-paved courtyard offers an atmosphere of historic grandeur. We love hosting the wedding dinner here, where long imperial tables can be set under the open sky, allowing guests to dine in the heart of the estate’s prestigious wine heritage.
Castle Entrance
For a truly majestic ceremony, we utilize the open space directly before the castle’s main gates. The imposing medieval façade serves as a dramatic, movie-set backdrop for your vows, ensuring your arrival and the exchange of rings feels like a scene from a modern fairytale.
Main Lawn
This expansive green space offers a breathtaking 360-degree experience of the estate. With the castle rising majestically behind you and sweeping views of the prestigious Brunello vineyards stretching to the horizon, it is an iconic setting for a grand ceremony or a sunset aperitif immersed in the Tuscan landscape.
Inner Courtyard
Set deep within the fortification, this enclosed space is ideal for the late-night celebration. The high stone walls create excellent natural acoustics and a sense of total privacy, allowing us to transform the historic heart of the castle into an exclusive, open-air dance floor for you and your guests.
