Lovers of fine food will be delighted to taste typical regional Italian cuisine, served in summertime under the olive and cypress trees, and in winter in the castle's restaurant before the massive roaring log fireplace. On the castle grounds there are facilities that produce an excellent private label extra virgin olive oil, as well as important wines, including the famous Brunello di Montalcino.
 
Elegant and aristocratic, the Castello di Velona is the perfect venue for prestigious events with the Tuscan countryside as a backdrop. The meeting room seats up to 25 persons, while the beautiful library and the Salone dei Paesaggi can hold up to 10 participants. The whole castle can be privatised to make events even more memorable and exclusive while its service and modern technology including Wi-Fi complete the offer.
