Tenute Maci in Cellino San Marco, open June–October.
Guests arrive at Tenute Maci to discover a working agricultural estate where the ceremony unfolds against authentic Salento countryside—rolling vineyards and centuries-old olive groves frame every moment.
The reception flows through the restaurant's intimate dining spaces, where locally-sourced courses connect guests directly to the region's culinary traditions.
What lingers is the sensory immersion: dust from the estate paths, the taste of Primitivo wine grown on-site, conversations that extend long into the evening.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Villa Enrichetta proved to be a wonderful setting, combining elegance, attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere that captivates from the first moment. Special thanks go to Diego Paticchio and Emanuela, exemplary professionals who, with discretion and helpfulness, made the experience even more enjoyable. The dinner was simply excellent: carefully prepared dishes, rich in flavor, and prepared with evident passion, conveying the warmth and authenticity of tradition. A place that makes guests feel truly special, and one I recommend without hesitation to anyone seeking quality, professionalism, and warmth." Thank you for making my son's 18th birthday special.
