About Villa Avanzi
Villa Avanzi stands apart on Lake Garda's shores with its authentic Lombardy architecture and working wine estate operations, allowing couples to marry within active vineyards rather than manicured grounds alone.
The 25-hectare property offers genuine agricultural heritage as your backdrop, where ceremony spaces overlook production facilities and reception areas feature estate wines as a central element.
