Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery

There’s something timeless about saying “I do” surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and warm Istrian light. Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery captures that feeling effortlessly. Tucked away in the countryside near Bale, just a short drive from Rovinj, this estate is known for its elegant stone villas, award-winning wines, and the kind of peaceful luxury that never tries too hard.

Weddings here feel refined but relaxed. You’re not in a ballroom. You’re in a vineyard, with the scent of lavender in the air and the sound of glasses clinking under a canopy of stars. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after the last dance.

 

Why couples choose Meneghetti

 

 

If you're searching for a luxury wedding venue in Istria, Meneghetti is often at the top of the list, for good reason. It’s perfect for couples who love food, wine, design, and nature, and who want a celebration that’s both elegant and deeply personal.

You can hold your ceremony right between the vines, or in the courtyard lined with olive trees. Receptions often happen al fresco with long tables under fairy lights, surrounded by the estate’s gardens. The estate is also fully licensed, so legal weddings in Croatia are possible here. No need for an off-site registry.

Menus are seasonal, creative, and rooted in Istrian tradition, with in-house chefs and sommeliers who know how to turn a dinner into a story. This is one of the few wine estate wedding venues in Croatia where everything is done to five-star standards, without ever feeling formal or stiff.

 

Meneghetti isn’t just a venue. It’s a full resort experience. You and your guests can stay on-site in beautifully designed villas and rooms, each with its own character. Some have private pools, some open out onto vineyards, but all offer calm, space, and understated style.

There’s a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, a boutique, and, of course, the winery itself. Perfect for tastings or a pre-wedding tour with your guests. Couples often book the estate for 2–3 nights and turn the wedding into a whole weekend of celebration.

 

Meneghetti doesn’t shout. It whispers. Everything feels curated, but nothing feels forced. It’s not just about being “luxurious”, it’s about being present, surrounded by people you love, in a place that’s rooted in tradition and beauty.

Whether you’re planning a small elopement with a vineyard ceremony, or a full-scale multi-day wedding with 50+ guests, this is one of the most exclusive and romantic wedding venues in Croatia.
