Frequently asked questions

Can we hold the ceremony in the wine cellars?

Yes. The 1870 cellars accommodate up to 80 guests for ceremonies. The stone arches and barrel installations create a naturally atmospheric setting without additional décor requirements.

What's included in guest accommodation?

Room rates (€120-€250/night depending on season) include breakfast, vineyard access, and complimentary wine tastings. Multi-night packages offer discounted rates for wedding party groups.

Are outside caterers permitted?

The venue offers in-house catering only, prepared by their Michelin-trained chef. Menu customization is available, including wine-pairing courses with vineyard tours.

What's the best season for a wedding here?

September-October captures harvest season with active vineyard work as backdrop. April-May offers spring blooms. July-August is busiest and hottest; November-February quieter with limited outdoor options.

How far is this from Fira town center?

Located at the edge of Fira, it's a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive to restaurants and shops, but set back enough to feel private on the vineyard property.
