A Tuscan Wedding Weekend

Getting married at Castelvecchi, in the heart of Radda in Chianti, means offering your guests much more than a wedding day.
It means welcoming them into a private Tuscan estate, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and centuries of history, where time slows down and every moment feels intentional.

Castelvecchi is not just the wedding venue — it becomes home for you and your guests during an unforgettable 3–4 day celebration.
