An 18th-century masseria near Mola di Bari in Puglia, run by the Pinto family, with olive groves, an illuminated courtyard and a kitchen that cooks from its own farm.
Tenuta Pinto in Mola di Bari
Tenuta Pinto is an ancient 18th-century Masseria in the Apulian countryside near Mola di Bari, owned and run by the Pinto family as both a residence and a place of culinary excellence. The family bought the estate to create a setting for weddings in the Apulian countryside, and the whole property can be taken for exclusive use. Olive groves surround the Masseria, and the grounds offer many fabulous locations for a wedding; weddings of all sizes are welcome, from the most intimate to larger celebrations. Every event can be customised according to the couple's wishes, with the estate's own spaces and kitchen shaping the day.
Weddings here are rooted in Apulian traditions and in the warmth and hospitality that mark the Pinto family's approach. The estate has a small collection of suites and rooms with an intimate country retreat feel for guests who stay. The kitchen is the estate's own, and the food draws on the vegetable garden, on local seasonal ingredients and on regional recipes. Outdoors, the olive grove, the 'finale' and the illuminated courtyard are the settings in which the celebration takes place. That warmth runs from the welcome through to the table, and the result is a wedding that feels closely tied to its place in Apulia.

Welcome
An 18th-century masseria in the olive groves
Domenico Pinto and his wife Isabella bought the masseria, and over the years it became a place for weddings, private events and stays. Domenico built up the agricultural business and Isabella the hospitality, and their children now work beside them: Chiara on sales and events, Nicole on administration and Vito on the land.
The setting
Ceremonies under the olive trees
Vows can be exchanged under centuries-old olive trees, in the illuminated courtyard or beneath the timber pergola facing the grove. There is no minimum number of guests: a ceremony can be as intimate as a couple wishes, and weddings are welcome for couples of every kind. The courtyard is lit after dark, and that lighting is part of its setting.
Receptions
From aperitif to dinner
A reception begins with an aperitif in the courtyard, followed by a chef's cooking show and appetisers that range from cold cuts and cheeses to raw fish and vegetables from the estate garden. Dinner is served in the barn, the fienile, seated or as a buffet, and Apulian street food booths offer panzerotti, dairy products and other local recipes. Weddings of up to 200 guests can be hosted.
The stay
Staying on the estate
The estate has seven rooms, named after Mediterranean plants: Melograno, Glicine, Carrubo, Lavanda, Ulivo, Rosmarino and Corbezzolo. Together they sleep up to 21 guests. Rooms have air conditioning and a smart TV, the Junior Suite has a whirlpool bath, one room has a Turkish bath and a private solarium terrace, and some are adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Agreements with nearby bed and breakfasts and hotels are available for larger wedding parties.
Food and drink
Chef Giuseppe Pedone and the kitchen
Chef Giuseppe Pedone, an Ambassador of Italian Cuisine in the World, trained in Parisian nouvelle cuisine and in starred restaurants before returning to Puglia to cook at Tenuta Pinto. The kitchen builds its menus on the estate's own olive oil, vegetables, fruit, herbs and legumes, grown and prepared through the seasons, and both the cooking and the pastry are made in house. The restaurant is open on Saturday and Sunday for lunch and dinner, with a seasonal tasting menu at Sunday lunch.
The farm
A working farm
Tenuta Pinto is a working organic farm. Vegetables, legumes, fruit and olives are grown on the estate with methods that limit environmental impact and protect biodiversity, and the kitchen follows the produce from the field to the table. Solar panels on the farmhouse roofs produce energy for the estate.
The family
A family business
Chiara leads sales and events, Nicole handles administration and management control, and Vito works as a farmer and researcher, looking after the land and the green side of the estate. Chef Giuseppe Pedone leads the kitchen. Couples are looked after by an events team that plans each wedding with them, from the choice of spaces and Apulian styling to menus, lighting and flowers.
Responsibility
A benefit company
Tenuta Pinto is a Società Benefit, committed to looking after people, the territory and its resources. Its commitments include reducing food waste, an ethical supply chain, protecting biodiversity and sustainable tourism, and it works with academic institutions, including CIHEAM Bari, on sustainability and wellbeing.

A absolute dream come true
We planned our entire wedding at Tenuta Pinto remotely from Australia, and it was an absolute dream come true. Chiara and the whole team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. The venue is truly stunning, even more beautiful in person, with such a special atmosphere. The food was out of this world, the service was flawless, and every detail was handled with care. The Pinto family have truly created magic, our guests are still raving about it! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate. Thank you, Tenuta Pinto!
