We planned our entire wedding at Tenuta Pinto remotely from Australia, and it was an absolute dream come true. Chiara and the whole team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. The venue is truly stunning – even more beautiful in person – with such a special atmosphere. The food was out of this world, the service was flawless, and every detail was handled with care. The Pinto family have truly created magic – our guests are still raving about it! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate. Thank you, Tenuta Pinto!
