Villa Avanzi in Polpenazze del Garda, open April–November.
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.
This is a working villa first, event venue second, which creates an uncommon sense of place.
Amazing location and atmosphere. I am convinced this is one of the best places, I went to in in Italy. This is only possible through the amazing staff which goes the extra mile for the guests. Shoutout to Stefano who personally took care of food preferences etc.!
