Villa Mosconi Bertani
A grand estate, unique of its kind, in an oasis of unspoiled nature
A majestic estate, prestigious and historic, dedicated to the production of wines since the first half of the 18th century, the Villa Mosconi Bertani is an architectural jewel without equal. Located only fifteen minutes from Verona in an enchanting valley of fields and shaded woods, an island of green cloistered and protected from contamination, seemingly frozen in time and surrounded by verdant woods and sprawling vineyards, the estate presents the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding reception.
The many different spaces, two full gardens, and eight hectare Romantic-era park nestled in an extensive walled vineyard from the 1500s create the perfect frame for wedding receptions —or for any kind of private or corporate event where the desire is to provide an unparalleled welcome for your guests— immersing them in a unique atmosphere both relaxing and refined.
The estate has maintained its allure and splendor over time, an object of admiration for centuries as revealed in writings dating back to the 1700’s when the Villa hosted a literary salon. The noble facade of neoclassical design, adorned with decorative statues of figures from Greek myths, stands framed against a backdrop of contrasting greens; leafshade and stately vines producing grapes for Amarone and Valpolicella Classico wines, verdant lawns and lush vegetation in the meandering park designed in the English style by poet Ippolito Pindemonte.
The structure itself rests entirely at ground floor level, allowing for a wide variety of staging possibilities in picture-perfect settings. Outside, gentle sounds of woodland creatures, rustling breezes and murmuring of fountains which in Roman times fed the Veronese acqueduct all combine to weave a fairytale atmosphere. The culmination is reached at sunset, that hour when one can best appreciate the magic of the vaulting skies, an air of enchantmentenhanced the warm illumination of the villa and grounds enhances rather than dispells.
Inside, the magnificent Chamber of the Muses, decorated with frescoes by the masters Prospero Pesci and Giuseppe Valliani, in addition to more than eleven rooms and halls of varying dimensions allow you to welcome your guests in surroundings tailored to your needs, setting the scene for a unforgettable wedding celebration.
Just as in centuries past, the Villa Mosconi Bertani continues to be admired today for its artistic and natural beauty. The estate is frequently cited in the media, as well as chosen for location shots in movies and television.
