Tenuta Carapace in Bevagna, open June–September.
Tenuta Carapace sprawls across rolling Umbrian countryside near Bevagna, where vineyards and cypress-lined pathways command views of the Val d'Orcia.
The 16th-century estate sits at elevation with stone buildings anchoring the landscape, their terracotta roofs catching afternoon light.
Guests move between garden spaces and a working winery, the terrain itself becoming part of the ceremony and reception experience.
Arrived at 620pm but could not get any service. I understand not being able to go on a tour but surely had time for a tasting, wouldn't even sell us a glass of wine so we could sit out and enjoy the view. She offered us a glass of water!!! Please change your hours to say closes as 630pm.
