Reviews for Castello di Sorgnano
Incredible venue, incredible staff
It’s a tremendous venue with gorgeous views, but also with the on site accommodation it was a perfect fit for us. Being able to book the whole vineyard out and use the historic castle was amazing.
Marco the owner was the other main reason, from our first visit, Marco was fantastic. His approach to ensuring the wedding was everything we wanted was incredible. He was very friendly from the start and he was so responsive across the 18 months from our first visit to the wedding.
Marco and his staff were loved by all our guests which was testament to their high quality service, and their flexibility during our stay was amazing.
The food and wine - all provided by Marco and his team was perfect. When coming out to do tasting we were amazed by so many dishes and found it hard to pick what we wanted.
Cannot recommend forte sorgnano and Marco enough - amazing venue and thanks for giving us the wedding we always wanted and more!
Thank you Marco and team! You have completely exceeded expectations and we will definitely be visiting again :)

Couldn't ask for a better venue and host, Italian perfection!!
The castle itself is the most incredible location for a wedding, regardless of the weather, and the food is to die for. When we went for our menu tasting back in April my eyes literally watered when I tasted the sliced angus. Aside from the wedding food, the breakfast, lunch and the buffet dinner (we requested this) were incredible and the portions were huge, nobody was ever left wanting.
In terms of value for money I think you would struggle to find a better location. Not only was it great value for my wife and I for the wedding, our friends and family felt it was great value for what they spent on drinks and meals throughout the stay.
Marco and his staff were wonderful hosts and made us and our guests feel at home the entire time. I can't thank them all enough and my wife and I will never forget our wedding week.
