Venue overview
Everything you need to know
Tenute Baglio Passofondo is a 19th-century Sicilian baglio — a traditional fortified farmhouse built around a quadrangular courtyard — set within a 9-hectare estate of vineyards and olive groves near Alcamo in the province of Trapani. Originally built by Marquis Pottino, who was drawn to the area for its ideal vine-growing conditions, the baglio has been carefully restored into a luxury resort while preserving its distinctive chiseled stone architecture and characteristic courtyard layout. Nine luxuriously appointed suites with features including stone fireplaces and spa baths are arranged around the central courtyard, which contains a heated Jacuzzi pool. The estate produces organic wines from indigenous Sicilian grape varieties — Nero d'Avola, Grillo, Zibibbo, and Frappato — grown without synthetic chemicals. For weddings, the property accommodates celebrations of up to 350 guests, with ceremonies in the gardens and receptions in the courtyard or the atmospheric restaurant beside the estate's ancient fireplace. A modern spa and wellness area, wine tastings, vineyard walks, and cooking classes offer guests an immersive Sicilian experience.

About this venue
Tenute Baglio Passofondo — wedding venue in Alcamo, Sicily
The baglio was built in the 19th century by Marquis Pottino, a nobleman drawn to the northwest Sicilian countryside by its exceptional conditions for cultivating vineyards. The traditional baglio architecture — a quadrangular courtyard enclosed by stone buildings — served both as a working agricultural estate and a fortified rural residence.
The estate's organic vineyards continue the Marquis's original vision, growing indigenous Sicilian varieties that have thrived in this terroir for generations. The Nero d'Avola, Grillo, Zibibbo, and Frappato grapes are cultivated without synthetic chemicals, honouring both tradition and the land.
