About Tenuta Montenari

Tenuta Montenari operates as both a working agricultural estate and restaurant in Salento, distinguishing itself by hosting celebrations directly within its vineyard and olive grove setting rather than in a separate event space.

The venue leverages its on-site wine production and farm-to-table restaurant operations, allowing couples to serve guests wines produced on the property alongside regional cuisine.

This agricultural transparency, rare among destination wedding venues, creates an authentic connection to Puglian terroir that commercial event halls cannot replicate.

Fantastic wedding, stunning location, everything was very pleasant, the timing was very long, and as they say, weddings in the South are very long, starting in the morning and finishing in the evening.
