Podere San Giorgio in Palaia, open June–September.
Podere San Giorgio commands sweeping views across the Tuscan countryside from its elevated position in Palaia, where rolling hills and cypress-lined horizons create a naturally dramatic backdrop for ceremonies and celebrations.
This working estate spans multiple restored buildings and manicured gardens, offering both intimate indoor spaces and expansive outdoor areas framed by the region's characteristic landscape.
The property's authentic rural character—maintained through 20+ acres of operational vineyards and olive groves—provides an immersive Tuscan experience rather than a polished resort atmosphere.
We just stayed at Podere San Giorgio for 2 nights with 40 of our closest family members and friends for our wedding and the whole experience was way better than we could have ever imagined. When we arrived at the venue only 2 hours before our guests to see it in person for the first time after months of virtual planning, it completely blew us away. The property and scenery are breathtaking and belong on a post card- even way better than the online photos are able to convey. The rooms are renovated but still charming and very clean. All our guests were so comfortable. There was delicious food, snacks, and drinks rolling out constantly and the pizza party the first night and wedding dinner the second night were both phenomenal. Then hanging by the pool surrounded by olive trees was the perfect way to relax before our wedding night kicked off. Lastly the DJ was so professional and accommodative and paired SO well with the live saxophonist he helped refer to us, which was our dream set up and was such a vibe during cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance party. We are so happy with how everything turned out and cannot recommend this venue, Andre, and his entire team enough- they were so friendly and helpful with every request we had to literally create the perfect wedding weekend for us.
