I love working with Villa Bellezza Winery as a wedding vendor! They have been a dream to collaborate with. From the beginning, their team was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for the couple's special day. The venue is breathtaking, with stunning views and a charming atmosphere that adds a touch of romance. The staff is friendly, professional, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Working with Villa Bellezza Winery has been an absolute pleasure. I cannot recommend them enough to fellow wedding vendors or couples looking for a magical venue for their special day.

I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now. The building is huge! And they have tons of parking and ev chargers even!You order your food at the window (outside because it was nice out) and they give you a number and bring your food to the table when it is ready.There was seating inside and outsideThere are heaters outside as well.The bathroom was really clean. The staff is friendly. There is a wine tasting room that I didn't really explore much in.I was really excited about the pizza but was sadly disappointed. Honestly I was kind of sad because I wanted to like this place a lot.My pizza came out somewhat burnt. But there wasn't much flavor in either of them.Overall the building is really cool and would be a really neat place for an event.

We came here to celebrate my dad and step moms wedding (pre-wedding dinner) and the food was amazing, staff was so friendly and absolutely loved the environment! Great vibes for sure!

Perfect relaxing day! Pasta was amazing. Wine was perfect. Didn’t enjoy as much the chicken pizza. Will try another one next time.

Love this place as a wedding venue! Photographed Shelby + Jason’s wedding day here and love the variety of outdoor to indoor spaces that feel like a little Italy in WI!The vineyards, fountain and the views from the reception balcony have my heart! Great staff and great night!Definitely recommend and don’t miss out of downtown Pepin if you get a chance!

Came here during the winter market, grounds had a few dozen maker shops - jewelry, gifts, food, wine and wine tasting.Personally I was there for the food, chilled white wine and then warm mulled wine. We had pizzas in the restaurant, and took some tiramisu and holiday chocolates to go.Had a great time and everything was delicious, even took home a souvenir glass mug with the mulled wine.Will be back in the summer

Amazing atmosphere and beautiful buildings. Makes you really feel like you are somewhere else in the world. The food and the restaurant was just okay. For some reason they were "out" of a lot of the items on the menu. Even our initial alternative choices we were told they were out of also... The rigatoni was quite good but the lasagna was actually cool in the center, probably just reheated but not enough. Aside from the food, it was a real cool place to visit for the scenery and wines.

We were a group of 4 who came here for wine tasting and lunch. At 5 usd we got to pick 3 wines and their wine of the day also came included in addition to the 3 wines. We liked the tasting - quick, no frills but good selection. We went ahead and ordered a bottle along with our lunch in the patio. We got a tavalo red bottle, 2 pizza, one pasta and a cheese board. One small gripe was that most of their pasta choices weren’t available and they had no vegetarian pasta option available despite listing on their menu. The have plenty of EV chargers and offer EV charging for free which is incredible. Close to 15 EVs ( maybe more) can charge simultaneously.

This was the first time at Bellezza Winery and I have to say it is absolutely beautiful! The grounds, buildings, tasting room, outdoor space all are the best I have visited! This is a true hidden gem in Wisconsin and worth the serve to come visit. The wines were very good and I would recommend doing a tasting so you are familiar with the wines as they are hard to decifer by just the names. The food was good, we tried the wood fired pizza and I enjoyed them, but I was expecting a more airy crust that you get from good homemade proofed dough that has structure, the edges where flat and hard, but still flavorful and enjoyed the fennel sausage. The bagit bread was wonderful and moreover what I expected and the cream cheese and honey spread was great. This winery did feel like your in a little Italy and will look forward to another visit.

Our favorite place to visit when we are in the area. Beautiful and relaxing, nice vineyards for walks, great wine to taste and delicious food to eat - pizza, pasta, panini, salads and more. The courtyard is absolutely gorgeous, a little piece of Italy right here in Wisconsin. Take some delicious wine home and come back again.

Villa Bellezza is a perfect example of a beautiful, unique and wonderful spot to check out in Western Wisconsin. I'd heard about it for a while and finally made my way there - and so glad I did. The buildings and grounds are immaculate. They almost transport you from Wisconsin. The wine was perfectly flavorful and delicious. I ordered the garlic chicken pizza; and although I loved it, I have a feeling any food you order from here would be amazing. In the outer court I saw countless tables of couples, family and girls days, even a wedding- and I think this is a perfect spot for all of them.

We treated ourselves to Villa Bellezza Winery in Wisconsin. The Rigatoni was so delicious! And the beet salad yummy. Both of their wines were smooth and tasty. The grounds are gorgeous and here is a peek at their vines.

We went to see the Christmas Market. Friendly place with friendly people! Had mulled wine that warmed us up. Tried their young wine, that was delicious. Met Cammie the alpaca. We will go back in warmer weather for sure! Highly recommend to check it out!

We ordered the Marquette ‘20 and the St. Pepin ‘21. The Marquette ‘20 was a medium-body dry red wine. It had berry aromas and flavors with roasted hazelnut as well as being lightly oaked. The St. Pepin ‘21 was a medium body dry white wine. It had a bold nose of citrus and peach.

Staff and wine are great. The food though is terrible. Easily the worst pizza I've ever had. The crust was terrible. The cheese was mediocre and the toppings were sparse. It was also sitting in a puddle of grease. The meat and cheese board was terribly balanced with poor cheese choices though the meat was good. I'll be back for the wine but won't be getting any food.

It's Christmas Market season Saturdays & Sundays in November and December! There's a nice little selection of vendors in the piazza and Great Hall, plus an extra food station in the Great Hall. Il Forno is also open for sit-down meals, but definitely make a reservation.Absolutely stunning location with delicious food and friendly, knowledgeable service. This is as close to Tuscany as you can get in the Midwest. The food was mouthwatering, authentic Italian served indoors or on the large courtyard patio. The wine tasting room is a very fun experience, 4 wines for $5 - you choose 3, and the sommelier chooses the 4th. Ask about the unique process for making ice wine! While this is high quality wine for the Midwest, it is not on par with Italian wine by any stretch of the imagination. There were some wines we enjoyed and ended up buying by the bottle, but others were just too acidic for our taste. Still, we definitely plan to be back. It's well worth a visit, and would also be a phenomenal location for special events. The property is rapidly expanding with several smaller buildings currently under construction.

Villa Bellezza is an absolutely incredible wedding venue! I LOVE photographing there! The ceremony site is large and makes for epic photos. The vineyard is stunning and conveniently located right next to where couples get ready. The staff is friendly and helpful! If you are looking for an Italy feeling wedding without leaving the Wisconsin/Minnesota area, I couldn't recommend Villa Bellezza more highly!!

The wine and food are average/below average. The grounds are pretty. That doesn't make up for the slow service and rude staff. Not worth the drive from the cities (or really from anywhere).

Amazing place! Simply said! Very easy to work with and has scored many points with wedding hosting and event hosting. Wine tasting is a blast here, fun bartenders make this a great quick spot to drop in at. Their tower is sweet and you can see so much from there. I do hope the city of Pepin grows around it as a big hurdle is getting over the lack of guest rooms for weddings.

Very excellent wine and wine tasting. Hayley or is Hailey? She was our taster and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. Really walked us through a nice tasting. The wine tasting section is incredible and the walk in cellar at the bar is very nice! Wisconsin wine? Yes please!

Phenomenal spot! First wines I've had from the Midwest area that I found to be highly drinkable. Love La Crescent and Cotes de Pepin(amongst others).The details that went into the piazza were extensive. The tastings are a good time with healthy pours, and the food is great too...we had the cheese plate (highly recommend), 2 pizzas, a panini, and a salad over two separate visits. All tasty! Great spot, makes you feel like you're on a mini vacation!

The venue is beautiful. I enjoy the wines. So, I think it's a really cool place and have been there 3 times so far. My only downgrade is for the pizza. I think they should knock this out of the park being an Italian inspired place. While the taste is fine...the pizza's are rather smallish (they're advertised as 11") and less than authentic (for me). My mother being from Italy, and having been to a fair share of wood fired pizza places, I have an opinion. So Il Forno has these pizza's for around $17. I say charge $22-24 and serve something amazing...more authentic like is shown in the pic attached (14"). Then I'd give 5 stars all day.

Went here this afternoon with a friend for my birthday. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They really made my birthday special! Special thanks to Chef Cecconi and Kelly in the tasting room !We did a wine tasting and there was not a single wine we did not like. They were excellent! We had the margherita pizza and garlic chicken pizza, followed by the chocolate cake and tiramisu for dessert. Soooo delicious!! I will definitely be going back and will bring more friends with me to experience this awesome place!

Meh. Pizza wasn’t great, pretty dull crust, not crispy, toppings all canned, sauce not spicy at all. Salad was similar. “Demi-baguette” was a room temperature hunk of supermarket quality bread with premade dips in plastic tubs. If this was a cafeteria, it’d be just OK. For a place that charges $17 for a 12” pizza, I was expecting more. To be fair, we were there in off season, and it’s probably hard to keep quality up with so few customers. But I’m not coming back in the summer to find out. Head down the street to the Homemade Cafe for much better food and local character.

Excellent wine tasting promotion where you get to choose 3 from a simplified list, plus a 4th that they choose. Tons of variety. And the bartender was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

Beautiful Italian style winery in the St. Croix river valley. Very welcoming staff compliment the delicious flatbread, meat and cheese plate, and delicious wines made on site! Very beautiful and scenic area!

It's almost like being in Tuscany! Great ambience and good wines. This would be an excellent wedding venue. A must-see winery.

Spent about an hour as part of our stay in Lake Pepin at Villa Bellezza. Very easy access off hwy 35 with decent parking. Went for wine tasting and the staff was very nice and helpful. Sampled three wines and wound up buying four bottles. Wines are very good and have variety for everyone's tastes from dry to sweet. Toured the outside plaza where you could sit and have a glass of wine or just people watch. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 protocols, couldn't get access to inside of the main building and get a view from top of the tower. We instead walked some of the vineyard and saw their outdoor activities area where they host weddings and other social activities. They also have a restaurant which we did not visit since we had already eaten. If you are into wine tasting would definitely recommend Villa Bellezza. Even though I did see some children, in my estimation, this is not a place to take kids. There is very little for them to do. Sure there are plenty of other places down by the marina for family activities
