Sent on 12/07/2023Incredible October Destination Wedding in the Tuscan Countryside
Castello del Trebbio was an absolute dream venue for us. We found the venue through a friend of ours who had considered the Castle for their wedding pre-covid. We were hesitant at first at the idea of planning a destination wedding, but Alberto and the whole team made everything so easy.
We were able to visit the Castle in March 2023 to meet everyone in person, see the villas and the Castle, and to taste our wedding menu (and wines!). It really helped to make sure that we felt confident in the vision and experience ourselves and our guests would have in a few short months.
We had 73 guests attend our wedding in Oct 2023, staying for four nights. A little over half of our guests stayed at the Castle in the 7 villas (5 big villas, 2 annexes), and the remainder of our guests stayed at two local Agriturismos less than a 15 minute drive from the Castle.
The villas are gorgeous. They are beautifully remodelled while keeping their historic charm. Just walking between the villas through the Castle grounds you can see the care and passion that went into making Castello del Trebbio the destination spot it is today. We really enjoyed spending time in the main rooms of the villas and at the pools – although they’re not usually open in October, we got lucky with unusually hot weather for the time of year.
Our wedding day was in the middle of the week, so we planned a few dinners at the Castle before and after our wedding day. The Castle offers a Welcome Dinner & Wine Tasting which we highly recommend doing. You learn so much about the history of the castle, the family who currently runs the vineyards, and about the products and types of wine they produce. We had a few history-loving guests who really enjoyed the tour of the Castle before the dinner; we won’t give away any spoilers but we can confirm that Alberto is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.
For the majority of the meals, including our wedding day, we worked with the restaurant, La Sosta del Gusto. Everyone was kind and professional and the food was incredible. They did a wonderful job working around a few allergies and dietary preferences our guests had so that everyone had more than enough to eat throughout the week.
On our wedding day, we used a few of the Castle's recommended vendors, and found a few others through Wedding Wire. Everyone was so kind and professional and coordinated with Alberto and his team on our wedding day. It took a lot of the stress away knowing that the people we had chosen to work with had good relationships with the Castle and were well known and well reviewed vendors in their given fields.
Final shoutout to Alberto who is the absolute best. He was always available to answer our emails when we had questions, and we had a lot! He had really good suggestions to help make the week go by smoothly and we’re so glad that we were able to work with him to give ourselves and our guests a truly once in a lifetime experience.Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Lara and Colton, I cannot enough express my gratitude for your words and for taking so much time to write a long, detailed review. We are happy to have been part of your dream and look very much forward to seeing you again!

All of our friends and family that attended said it was like a fairytale wedding.
Planning a wedding from the US was easy with Alberto, the event manager. He is patient and very professional. We went over for a weekend to do the menu tasting and tour the castle. That was well worth the trip. From the minute we arrived for our wedding weekend, everything we planned was in motion. Our guests felt welcome and very comfortable. The accommodations are really nice. The bathrooms are updated. The food was delicious! From the welcome dinner to the farewell dinner, every meal was amazing. The venders that were recommended by Alberto were excellent. The florist, hair and makeup and musicians. We were very happy with all of them. Our guests have all told us it was like a fairytale wedding. In our eyes it was perfect!Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Brenda and Alan, thank you so much for your review! You happiness and satisfaction is the best reward to our job
We are very much looking forward to host you again

Tara M. Sent on 08/24/2023A Fairytale Wedding
Where do we begin!?! Our wedding at Castello del Trebbio was everything we could have wished for and more, for our intimate wedding of 30 people. From start to finish Alberto was a dream to work with. He responded within minutes to any query we had and treated any matter that arose with patience and kindness. The venue was absolutely breathtaking. Although our August wedding took place in 35 degree heat everything was perfect, every villa is equipped with outstanding air con and the pools were always there to cool us down. The welcome tour, wine tasting and dinner on the first night was an ideal way to get all of our guests together and start the celebrations. We could not get over how amazing the food was! The day of our wedding was like a dream. Our fantastic wedding planner Samuele, assisted us in selecting all of our vendor's and organising everything on the day. Our wedding dinner was out of this world and the guests loooooooved the wedding cake! The following day, once again the BBQ food was exquisite. We enjoyed our special weekend so much from the moment we arrived to when the vans pulled off with our guests and we couldn't hold back the happy tears as we stood there with Alberto and waved them off. We will never forget the unique experience we had for our wedding and will forever hold Castello del Trebbio close to our hearts. Tara and Conor, Ireland. (Wedding 12th August 2023)Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Tara and Conor, again I had tears reading your words...truly the best reward for our planning work. We are happy to always be in your mind and look forward to seeing you again

What an amazing experience!
We had the best wedding we could possibly have imagined…….it was like a fairy tale.
All the team at Castello del Trebbio pulled out all the stops from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. We chose this beautiful place for our wedding weekend and couldn’t have asked for more. From the uninterrupted landscape and scenery, to the rustic and spacious accommodation, to the delicious food and wine tasting, the personal touch from the Castle owner, the friendly staff and of course the welcoming Alberto!
Family and friends all commented on the breath-taking, historical and magical nature of the location and we would all rush back in a heartbeat. We have laughed, relaxed and all had a fabulous and unforgettable time. Thank you so much and, with a bit of luck, we will see you all again for our anniversary.
Ian, Tricia and Iona. xx

Quinn G. Sent on 07/19/2023A dream wedding!
We selected Castello del Trebbio after an initial zoom call with Alberto. I remember he mentioned, we can hire a wedding planner, but he takes care of everything - that couldn’t be more true! Alberto really took all of the stress out of planning a wedding.
We did not have the opportunity to see Castello del Trebbio in-person beforehand and we could not have been more blown away. We had 51 guests stay on-site and the accommodation was stunning - each room / villa was unique.
As far as the food and the weekend itself, everything went above and beyond. Alberto is always a quick message away if you need anything. He helped us with olive oil favors for the guests and they were a huge hit.
We celebrated with all of our guests for three nights and can not wait for a return trip in the future.
Thank you Alberto and team for helping us achieve our dream wedding. -

Stevi C. Sent on 07/16/2023Our Magical Tuscan Wedding!
Our wedding at Castello Del Trebbio was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the beauty of the castle and the surrounding countryside. The staff had everything prepared for us upon arrival, and we were able to work with Alberto on placing welcome bags & the Castello's wine for our guests. Every room was spacious and had good A/C for the warm summer days. We were very pleased, especially having to plan this from California and not visiting prior.
Alberto was absolutely amazing. He was so organized and efficient, and he always made sure that we were on track. He was also incredibly creative, and he helped us to come up with some truly unique and special touches for our wedding.
One of the things that we loved most about Castello Del Trebbio was the variety of activities that were available for our guests. We had cooking classes, a pizza party with the chef, and pool gatherings at our villa. Everyone had such a memorable time and said it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended!
The food at Castello Del Trebbio was also incredible. We had a great welcome tour of the Castle with Alberto that concluded with such an amazing meal! We also had delicious breakfasts in the restaurant. The pasta class and pizza party were both delicious too! Each meal was in a different & unique location on the property.
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, and we're so grateful to Alberto and the team at Castello Del Trebbio for making our day so special.Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Stevi and Dave, you have no idea of how we feel when we read your words...this is the fuel that moves our machine and our hearts. I am so happy that you trusted me in an "all inclusive" package and that everything worked for the best.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you again

Dream Wedding
Planning a wedding in Italy from the US can sound stressful but Alberto at Castello del Trebbio made this the easiest event I have ever planned. Alberto is super responsive and detailed to make sure everything is ready to go well before you arrive. And the venue itself is breathtaking! Pictures just don't do it justice but it was an absolute dream. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding. We picked this venue before having ever seen it and when we finally got a chance to come before the wedding to see everything, it beat every expectation we could have had. The team is very experienced and does many weddings so they know exactly how to have everything done smoothly. No issues on the wedding day. The food was amazing. There are not enough good things I can say about Castello del Trebbio and our wedding there. We loved every moment and can't wait to travel back one day for an anniversary celebration. :)Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Jojo and Alex, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You have been such a pleasant couple and I do really hope to see you again for some anniversary
thanks again

If we could do it all over again, we would do it just the same.
We are big planners and we at one point had a spreadsheet with 170 Italian wedding venues on it, Castello del Trebbio seemed too good to be true, then it was.
We don’t speak any Italian but the venue and Alberto (who is as amazing as everyone says) made everything MUCH less daunting.
We can’t wait to go back!Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Natalie and Julian, I cannot enough express my gratitude for your words. Me and the staff of Castello del Trebbio are so glad to have contributed to make your special day unforgettable
Have a happy life together and come back to us

Amazing wedding weekend
We had the most amazing wedding at Castello del Trebbio. We and the 56 guests had the wedding weekend of a lifetime. It was better than we could ever dream of. The food and wine was amazing. The villas and apartments was bigger and better than expected. Every guest was happy with their rom.
Alberto is the best host/manager we could have asked for. He was amazing. We will never forget the amazing people, food, wine and place this is and are definitly coming back again when we get the chance. Every guest fell in love with the place.Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Thea and Fredrik, thank you so much for your review! When you left the castle this morning, I saw your eyes full of joy and this was the best "thank you " for our passionate work. We are so much looking forward to seein you again

Dana R. Sent on 05/16/2023Our Tuscan Fairy Tale Come True
If you are looking for your perfect wedding venue in Tuscany for a destination wedding look no further. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Castello del Trebbio and its hard working team for making our wedding weekend truly remarkable. Almost every one of our guests have commented that this weeding was the best they have ever been to and I can honestly say that if you book here you will not regret it.
Let's start from the beginning. It was Christmas time and we sent our inquiry for more information. Immediately we received a response from the true superstar of the operation Alberto. He was so responsive and attentive to all of our questions it made my then-fiancé and I feel immediately comfortable and at ease. As many of you who are reading this now may know, booking a destination wedding in a foreign country seems like a huge undertaking. But with Alberto's expert guidance and recommendations we knew that Castello del Trebbio was the pick for us.
Fast forward a few months, we were invited to come to do a site visit and taste the menu. We came in November and finally met Alberto and the restaurant manager, Maurizio. We were thrilled that not only was the venue breathtaking and beautiful the food was amazing too. Each course was carefully plated and presented with such attention to detail. And, of course, the wine was superb. After meeting with our vendors we left knowing that we made the right pick.
Now, for the wedding. We booked an entire weekend of wedding events for our guests. For the first night, we booked the Castle tour and wine tasting. Learning the history of the historic castle and the family that inhabits it was so remarkable and each guest thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the tasting. The dinner was served in the great hall and the food was prepared by the family. It was the perfect start to the weekend. The next morning we opted for brunch on the restaurant terrace. Overlooking the vineyards on the morning of my wedding with my closest family and friends was so special and the perfect start to my wedding day. We chose to have the ceremony in the Castle courtyard. My florist arranged for flowers to flank the aisle and a large floral arch for us to stand under during the ceremony. From the moment the castle doors opened to the courtyard I gasped at how beautiful it was. We had the cocktail hour in the castle courtyard followed by the dinner inside the restaurant. Since we only had 48 guests, I opted for one large table and chose to gift our guests bottles of the first pressed olive oil from the Castle. The dinner was several courses and we opted to have both the millfeuille cake and a tiered wedding cake. Following dinner, which was amazing, we went out to the terrace to cut our cake and have our first dance. The terrace was lighted with string lights with the Castle in the background. It was magical. Then the dancing began and we danced until 2 am. It was the wedding I always dreamed of.
The following morning we had wedding brunch out on the terrace and then opted for the Tuscan BBQ in the evening to end the wedding weekend. Some may say the Florentine steak served here could rival any in Florence it was that good. Overall, as I think back writing this review I wish I could do it all over again. And I hope that you chose this venue so your day will be just as special and magical as ours. Special thanks to Alberto, Maurizio and the entire Castello del Trebbio team you made our Tuscan Fairy Tale come true.
Here is a list of our vendors each of which I would highly recommend:
Day of Wedding Planner- Elena Italian Wedding Designer (Book her! It is the best decision we made).
Florist- Flowers Living
DJ- Paolo Audiodress (Best DJ ever- we got compliments all night and the day after at how amazing the music was)
Pianist-Lux Music (Lavinia was so sweet to work with and prepared custom songs for me and my husband to walk down the aisle with)
Photographer- Linda Nari Photography (Amazing husand and wife team- we only have a few sneak peaks back but they are amazing)
Videographer- Vertigo Wedding Films (Nicola is great to work with)
Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Dana and Jacob, I have no words to express our gratitude for your incredible review and for choosing our home for your dream day
We are just looking forward to seeing you again

We had the most magical experience at Castello del Trebbio. I can’t express how PERFECT everything turned out to be, and how incredible the whole staff was, especially Alberto. Our destination wedding could not have been possible without him. He was the most accommodating, sweetest, and reliable host we could have ever had. Any time I had any question, he emailed me back so quickly with all the answers I needed. Also, the photos truly do not do this place justice, it was 10x even more beautiful in person!!! If you are considering Castello del Trebbio, DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THEM! I promise you will not regret it ❤️Castello del Trebbio's reply:

Grecia R. Sent on 11/14/2022A fairytale come true
Castello del Trebbio was the most magical venue we could have chosen for our wedding. The castle, villas and surrounding vineyards transport you to a Medieval world in Tuscany. We picked our venue from the Wedding Wire app without ever seeing it in person until our wedding day. Alberto Peroni, the Events and Wedding Manager, made us feel confident from Day 1 that we picked the right venue. He was with us every step of the way during the wedding planning to ensure we had all the right vendors in place for our big day. He is super quick with his responses and extremely helpful. We made so many changes - from our guest list to our accommodations and he was flexible and very accommodating with all of it. Alberto did a video call with us so we could see the venue from afar. For anyone thinking about doing a destination wedding, but afraid of booking things from afar, choose Castello del Trebbio and you can trust that your destination wedding will go very smooth! From the delicious, gourmet food (the truffle crepe was my favorite) to the service and attention Alberto provides during the wedding day, your wedding will be just as you dreamed. Ours was. Thank you to the entire team at Castello del Trebbio. We are forever grateful that you helped make our destination wedding in Italy a dream come true. Thank you for granting us the fairytale wedding we envisioned. We hope to return soon!Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Grecia and Mike, this long season, full of hard work and happy couples and satisfied guests, could not finish better than with this wonderful review which fills my heart and makes me smile thinking that our team has done a good job.
The same smile that I see in your face...happy life together and we are so much looking forward to seeing you again...thanks for taking your time to write this feedback

Dream Wedding in Tuscany
After extensive research online last year, I found Castello del Trebbio for our wedding in October 2022. Those three days were better than I could have ever dreamed.
From the beginning, Alberto made the entire process seamless as well as stress free with his communication, planning, and quick response time even with the time difference. I loved that the wedding package was unique to what we wanted and all-inclusive (a huge bonus when planning an overseas wedding during a pandemic). Alberto went above and beyond to ensure every detail was set prior to the event.
Once we arrived at Castello, we found the estate was even more beautiful and charming in person. Alberto greeted us with a very warm welcome. He was so kind and easy to work with. The castle and wine cellar tour with tasting the first night was fascinating and the welcome dinner was delicious. We added a brunch the morning of the wedding which was also very good and kept everyone full until aperitif and dinner that evening.
The wedding and reception dinner exceeded our expectations. It truly was a fairytale wedding. The team working with Alberto delivered exceptional service. The florist, Chiara, worked with me directly to make sure the bouquets and decor were exactly what I wanted. Sara is a true makeup artist who will make every bride feel like a princess on her big day. The violinist, Simone, delivered every song during the ceremony perfectly and even played our special request of Harry Potter. When the cellist joined during dinner, it made for the most lovely atmosphere. The restaurant staff went above and beyond during both the aperitif and dinner. Our photographer, Giuseppe, was easy to work with and did a wonderful job in capturing the perfect evening.
For the last day of our stay, we planned a tour to Sienna, a Tuscan winery, and San Gimignano, with a tour company per Alberto’s recommendation (Gianluca). It was a wonderful way to end the trip to Castello.
Highly recommend Castello del Trebbio, Alberto and his team if you want the best wedding experience you could ever dream of. We can’t wait to visit Castello again for our anniversary!Castello del Trebbio's reply:
Dear Sarah and Scott, thank you so much for your words!! seeing you happy is the best reward for our work!!

We are not sure where to even begin, in short: Castello Del Trebbio is THE PLACE to host your Tuscan wedding. We booked the placed pre-pandemic, and had to cancel/reschedule three times. Albi, the host was extremely accommodating every single time, and extremely responsive. He is also very knowledgable so trust his recommendations. The venue is breathtaking, the food excellent quality, the wine is delicious and the itinerary (castle tour, wine tasting, courtyard ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner) is perfect for a small group setting.
The entire property is lovingly maintained and renovated. We could not have had a better wedding experience - it exceeded all our expectations.
Thank you Albi and the entire staff for this once in a lifetime experience.Castello del Trebbio's reply:
it was a great experience to work 2 years with you and we cannot thank you enough for rescheduling the wedding 3 times and never give up. We very much look forward to seeing you again
