Cuvée’s Tuscan Farmhouse
Tuscany, Italy
Set the Scene: Chianti Classico Vineyard Estate
Located in the town of Gaiole, which is in the heart of Chianti Classico, is our signature Tuscan estate, the Cuvée Tuscan Farmhouse. The area is alive with weekend farmers markets and hidden wineries.
Wedding guests will love walking to Vertine castle village, where a quaint restaurant serves coffee, wine and cheeses. And, it’s less than an hour’s drive from Florence and only a half-hour drive from Siena. Gaiole was also named the “Most Idyllic Place to Live in Europe” by Forbes.
Welcome to the Luxury Wedding Venue
Owned, managed and designed by Cuvée, this is a highly-coveted, 16th century Tuscan estate that was designed to bring the dolce vita of Tuscany to life. Tucked in the vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico, Cuvée’s restored farmhouse is a magical and luxurious Tuscan experience.
The outside grounds include olive groves, Italian cypress and the villa’s own wine roots, the grapes. The Tuscan infinity pool is pure bliss and a wonderful gathering spot for guests along with the onsite bocce ball court.
The Interior Estate Revealed
Designer elegance is in every nuance of this restored 16th century estate boasting views of rolling vineyards and a Medieval castle. The eloquent farmhouse has five luxurious bedroom suites, all with their own spa-like bathrooms, that creates ultimate privacy, perfect for bride and grooms.

Additional elevated amenities include air conditioning, audio system, balcony (perfect for dramatic wedding photos), fireplace, flat screen televisions, gym, heated floors, and media room.

Or, the great room, also known as the loggia, connects the main and guesthouses and showcases striking views of the Vertine castle’s turrets and towers—the very view that inspired the name “La Veduta di Vertine.”
All your food can be prepared in the fully-equipped, chef-style kitchen. Highlights include a working fireplace for grilling meats and vegetables, a large antique butcher block borrowed from neighboring France, and a hand-forged chandelier.

Vue De Rêves
St. Barts, Caribbean
Set the Scene: Ultra-Luxe St. Jean Villa
St. Barts is one of the most stunning and pristine of the Caribbean Islands. Renowned for its culinary and luxury adventures, this gem is a true world apart from anything else.
Cuvée’s wedding estate is above Baie de St. Jean, with its charming collection of boutiques and cafes, and Eden Rock. Views of Eden Rock and Nikki Beach, and, of course, views of the shimmering blanket of turquoise sea extending to the horizon (arguably the best on the island) are visible from the estate.
Welcome to the Luxury Wedding Venue
This estate lays claim to the “the best views on St. Barts,” hence its name, Vue de Rêves, and has been an iconic property for decades, hosting high-profile guests from the Kennedys to Mariah Carey. Therefore, this destination wedding estate will surely impress guests and be more than memorable, but a lifetime event for everyone.
The designer infinity pool is simply breathtaking. To create a completely unique effect, the pool’s stone is imported from Portugal. The stone was hand-cut to pick up the different colors of the Caribbean as the sun moves through the sky. The result is a shimmering, turquoise pool on the edge of the iconic Baie de St. Jean.
The Interior Estate Revealed
The Cuvée design team collaborated with local artisans for eloquent and authentic details, like South American woods and natural stone. Peak ceilings finished with wood beams allow for open spaces with tons of light, and a spectacular wine wall carved from natural stone. There’s also a state-of-the-art entertainment center in the entertaining space. Custom French and Portuguese cabinets enhance the large gathering area.
In the upper terrace of the estate is a fitness center complete with weights, cardio equipment, yoga (and views!), you’ll have no trouble earning your rosé for the big day.
The Wedding Ceremony + Celebration
The wedding will have plenty of space for chef-driven cuisine. A French designer customized a “La Cornue” Kitchen from Bordeaux, France in the Cuvée St. Barts estate. The chef’s kitchen opens fully to the outdoors’ breathtaking fire-and-water setting. Outside, a pizza oven, Evo grill, and outdoor wine cave + bar make for the most intriguing wedding celebrations.
