Tenuta Bichi Borghesi in Casole d'Elsa, open April–August.
Tenuta Bichi Borghesi operates as a working estate hotel in Tuscany's Crete Senesi region, meaning you'll have exclusive use of authentic farmland grounds without the typical venue markup.
The property combines a functioning agricultural operation with 12 guest rooms, allowing your wedding party to stay on-site while maintaining the intimate scale of a private estate rather than a commercial wedding factory.
Located in Casole d'Elsa, it sits at the crossroads between wine country and rolling countryside—practical for guests arriving from multiple directions.
Our host recommended this winery. So we contacted them by e-mail and they respondent very quickly. We Booked an tour with tasting and some food for the next day. The owners are very kind and told everything about the estate and their wines. They took their time and answerd all the questions we had. There was absolutely no haste. The wines are very good. We hope to come back in the future!

Asked along the way.
Can we have an exclusive venue buyout?+
Yes, Tenuta Bichi Borghesi offers exclusive estate use for weddings. Since it operates as a hotel, discuss blackout dates and room block requirements directly with management at the website contact form.
Is the venue suitable for both ceremony and reception?+
The estate includes multiple spaces—outdoor gardens, terraces, and interior rooms—allowing ceremony and reception on the same grounds. Many couples use the natural landscape for ceremony and covered areas for dining.
Do we get wine from the estate for the wedding?+
The property produces its own wine. Ask about estate wine packages during your consultation; this often reduces beverage costs compared to external sourcing.
