Villa San Giovese
A private Tuscan estate in the hills of San Diego
Vineyard views, a stone altar, and the whole estate to yourselves. We host one event at a time, never two.
Welcome to the villa
Tuscany, 30 minutes from downtown San Diego
We are Todd and Bruno, and this hillside is our home. We planted the vineyard, raised the cypress trees, and built a place where the golden light of Jamul meets the warmth of the Italian countryside.
When you celebrate here, the estate is yours alone. No other wedding on the next lawn, no stranger's event sharing the parking lot. Just your people, our hills, and a day that moves at your pace.
One event at a time, never two.
Celebrations
Every kind of gathering, one beautiful place
From a wedding for everyone you love to a vow exchange for two, we shape the estate around your day.
Elopements
All-inclusive packages for two. An intimate ceremony, golden-hour views, and time that is yours alone.

Micro-Weddings

Private Events
Corporate retreats, milestone birthdays, and celebrations that deserve more than a banquet hall.

The estate
Where the chaparral meets the vineyard
Three and a half acres of Sangiovese vines on a working hillside estate, with panoramic mountain views in every direction and not a neighbor in sight.
Your hosts
A retired naval officer and a Frenchman from the countryside
Todd spent his career in the Navy. Bruno grew up in the French countryside. Together we fell in love with a hillside in Jamul and built the villa we always dreamed of.
We host a limited number of events each year, on purpose. It means we are present for every couple, every toast, and every detail. When you tour the estate, you tour it with us.
And because we are a married couple ourselves, every couple is celebrated here. See LGBTQ+ weddings at the villa.

The table
Dinner with a view of the vines
Long tables on the terrace, wine from hills like these, and the kind of evening that nobody wants to end.
We help you plan every course and every detail with caterers and vendors we know and trust, so the day feels like a dinner party at home, not a production.
Come stand on the hillside
Photos are lovely, but the light up here is something you have to feel. Tours are free, personal, and easy to book.
