Weddings & settings
Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Meneghetti are shaped by the landscape—vineyards, olive groves, and open lawns creating settings that feel connected to the estate rather than separate from it. The in-house events team works closely with couples from the outset, managing planning and logistics while allowing each celebration to take on its own tone.
Licensed for civil ceremonies as well as symbolic unions, the estate offers a range of outdoor options.
Oaks & Vineyards
A natural clearing beneath mature oak trees, surrounded by vines. This setting feels expansive yet grounded, well suited to larger ceremonies.
Poolside Lawn
A more contemporary space with clean lines and open views across the estate. Often chosen for its relaxed atmosphere and ease of transition into the reception.
Restaurant Terraces
Smaller, more enclosed spaces overlooking olive groves, offering a quieter setting for intimate ceremonies.
Each location can be adapted depending on guest numbers and flow, with the flexibility to adjust plans across the estate if needed.

Receptions
Weddings at Meneghetti tend to unfold over several days, with different parts of the estate naturally lending themselves to each moment.
Celebrations often begin in the Sculpture Garden, where guests gather for welcome drinks among large-scale contemporary works set into the landscape. From there, the flow moves towards the Pool Terrace and surrounding lawns, where cocktails and outdoor dining take place as the evening settles.
Dinner can be arranged al fresco or within the restaurant spaces, depending on the size and style of the celebration. Outdoor receptions accommodate up to 130 guests, while indoor spaces offer a more intimate setting for smaller groups.
As the evening progresses, the poolside areas and terraces shift into a more relaxed atmosphere, with music and dancing continuing into the night. Private villas and residences across the estate also provide additional settings for smaller dinners, after-parties, or pre-wedding gatherings.
For larger groups, exclusive use of the estate ensures privacy and a seamless experience across all spaces.

With 58 rooms, suites, residences, and villas, Meneghetti is designed for guests to stay, not just visit. Accommodation is spread across the estate, creating a sense of a small, self-contained village.
Rooms & Suites

Residences
One- and two-bedroom layouts with contemporary interiors, often including private gardens or pools. Ideal for small groups or families wanting more independence.
Villas
Three-bedroom homes with generous outdoor space and private pools, offering a more secluded stay for close friends or family.

Dining moves across different settings throughout a stay. The main restaurant offers a more structured experience, while Oliveto provides a relaxed, poolside alternative for daytime meals and informal gatherings. Terraces and outdoor spaces are frequently used for drinks and dinners, particularly during weddings.
Meals can range from multi-course tasting menus to more informal shared dining, depending on the moment. The estate’s wines—produced on site—are central to the experience, alongside its olive oils, which feature across the menus.
