The estate and its settings
The estate covers a large part of the hills around Montalcino. At its centre is the borgo, a cluster of stone buildings around a small chapel, where most ceremonies take place. Around it, the vineyards, the gardens and the valley views give each event of the weekend its own setting.
The chapel and the borgo
The chapel suits an intimate ceremony. For a larger guest list, the ceremony moves outside, to a terrace above the valley.
Evenings across the estate
The welcome dinner, the rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself can each be held in a different place: the gardens, the winery, the glasshouse or the lawns of the borgo.
Rooms and exclusive use
The estate offers suites and private villas, enough to host most of the wedding guests on site. Reserving it in exclusive use closes it to other visitors for the length of the celebration, which matters for families who value their privacy.
Exclusive use is agreed directly with the estate, usually more than a year ahead, and shapes the whole budget of the weekend.
When to celebrate
Late spring and early autumn are the most sought-after moments in the Val d'Orcia: long evenings, a gentler heat and the vineyards at their most beautiful. The harvest, in September and October, brings its own atmosphere to the estate.
How the house works at Castiglion del Bosco, A Rosewood Hotel
The house has produced two weddings on the estate: a celebration of ten events over four days for Sophie and Gordon, and an intimate wedding for Agatha and Peter. That experience shapes how we plan: the arrivals from Florence and Rome, the order of the evenings, the teams on site and the way each setting is dressed.
