Picturing a fashionable destination wedding in Italy, complete with top-notch gourmet food, fabulous wine, and captivating views of the vineyards and mountains? While most people know Salvatore Ferragamo for his glamorous shoes and quality leather accessories, the legendary designer may also hold the keys to your dream destination wedding venue. As the director of Il Borro, a picturesque resort, spa, and winery in the Tuscan countryside in Italy, he aims to create "a tailor-made wedding experience custom to each bride and groom"—which features a stately villa, vineyard tours, and accommodations for up to 130 guests for both indoor and outdoor weddings.

Located in the village of San Giustino Valdarno—deep in the heart of Tuscany—Il Borro features sweeping views of the Pratomagno Mountains. For a gorgeous outdoor wedding with panoramic vistas, the Manor House (above, top) boasts over 200 years of history, and a private garden with lush flowers and plants. Those looking for a more rustic, nature-inspired wedding experience can choose the elegant, recently restored Old Lemon House (above, bottom).

Don't worry though, there is more for your guests to do than just gaze at sunsets. In addition to horseback riding, tennis, golf, soccer, and mountain biking, the estate also provides a relaxing spa and vineyard tours for those who are less athletically inclined—phew.
