From the Etruscan coast to the bay.
Thirty-four minutes separate Marina di Castagneto from the Quercetano: the coast of wine meets the coast of terraces.
Bolgheri behind, the sea in front.
Marina di Castagneto is the beach of Castagneto Carducci, with Bolgheri just above and vineyards running almost to the coast. From here you drive up to Donoratico and take the Variante Aurelia: 36.2 km, thirty-four minutes.
Astragalo is the dinner that closes a beach day or a weekend in the hills: you arrive on the Bay of Quercetano and stay until evening.
Up the coast, down to the bay.
You drive up to Donoratico, join the Variante Aurelia north and exit at Rosignano Marittimo; then Castiglioncello and the descent to the bay. The route is long but free-flowing.
Those coming from Bolgheri can stop on the coast for a seafood lunch or dinner, perhaps after a tasting: the sea is half an hour away.
A wedding with the sea in front.
From this part of the coast come couples looking for a venue different from the Bolgheri countryside: the sea, the terraces and the civil ceremony on site.
The venue hosts one wedding per day, with four terraces, a central room, a summer garden and the club for after dinner.
