Why Summer Is the Perfect Season for a Wedding in Chianti

Planning a destination wedding in Italy but worried about the summer heat? You’re not alone—and we’re here to put your mind at ease. At Borgo Castelvecchi, nestled in the heart of Chianti, summer is cool…

Sunny Days by the Pool, Cool Evenings Under the Stars

One of the biggest advantages of getting married in Chianti during the summer is the perfect balance of warm, sun-soaked days and cool, breezy evenings. Picture this: your guests arriving early to relax by our panoramic swimming pool, soaking in the Tuscan sun with a glass of local wine or a ice cold beer in hand. Then, as the day fades, the gentle evening breeze sweeps through the countryside, creating a naturally refreshing atmosphere for your outdoor dinner and dancing.

The Weather Is On Your Side

When planning a destination wedding, unpredictable weather can be a major source of stress. But here’s the good news: summer in Chianti is incredibly reliable. With virtually no chance of rain in July and August you can confidently plan an outdoor ceremony, aperitivo, and reception without the need for backup tents or last-minute changes.

Is It Too Hot in Tuscany in Summer?

We get this question all the time—and the answer might surprise you. Unlike cities like Florence or Rome, Borgo Castelvecchi is located in the hills of Chianti, where the elevation brings cooler temperatures and constant airflow. The heat is rarely overwhelming here, especially when compared to lower-lying parts of Tuscany.

Your guests won’t be sweltering in the sun—they’ll be enjoying fresh, country air, shaded trees and unbelivable views

Beyond the comfortable climate, summer brings out the best of the Tuscan countryside. The vineyards are lush and green, the sunsets are long and golden, and the atmosphere is full of life and romance.

At Borgo Castelvecchi, we offer a stunning blend of rustic charm and refined elegance—perfect for couples seeking an authentic yet elevated destination wedding experience. Our experienced team will help you plan every detail, ensuring that your summer wedding in Chianti is not only beautiful, but completely stress-free.
