Tabaccaia hosts brand activations, conventions, meetings, private dinners, weddings and creative productions in a former tobacco factory in Castrezzato, in the province of Brescia. Its eleven named indoor and outdoor spaces include halls of 295 to 454 square meters and open courts of up to 751 square meters, and guest numbers are given on request for each layout.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells corporate events in three formats. Brand activations use the industrial rooms for immersive experiences built around a product or a brand. Private dinners use the atmosphere of the factory for hospitality evenings. Conference and networking formats rely on modular spaces for meetings, conventions and company events. Several of the large covered rooms are heated, so the site can be used outside the summer season. Companies in fashion, design, automotive, home appliances and finance appear among past clients on the official site.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are organized in three stages on site: the ceremony, set up in one of the transformed spaces, the reception, with contemporary table setups, and the party, with music and lighting in the factory halls. Couples who want an industrial setting rather than a villa or a castle will find large volumes and open courts here, and the cloister and courtyard give outdoor options for the warmer months.
Rooms and capacities
The Magazzino di Stagionatura, the former curing warehouse, covers 445 square meters under a 15-meter ceiling and is heated. Sala delle Botti 1 covers 454 square meters with a 5-meter ceiling and heating, and three further Sala delle Botti rooms complete the series. The Giardino d'Inverno, a covered winter garden, has 323 square meters, a 5-meter ceiling and heating. The Sala di Essiccazione, the former drying room, covers 295 square meters under a 10-meter ceiling, with smaller drying rooms alongside. Outdoors, the Chiostro, a cloister, covers 751 square meters and the Corte, a courtyard, 520 square meters, with a further Cortile. A space called Tabaccaia Lab is announced as coming soon. The official site does not publish guest numbers, so ask the team for seated and standing figures per room.
Catering
The official site does not name a caterer or describe a kitchen. Ask the events team how catering is organized for dinners, receptions and weddings, and whether you can bring your own supplier.
History and setting
The complex was built to process tobacco, and the room names keep its working past: curing, drying and barrel rooms. It has been converted into a venue for events, culture and immersive experiences, with its industrial volumes, high ceilings, cloister and courtyards kept in place. Fashion and creative productions also use the site for shoots and cultural projects.
Getting there
The address is Via Valenca 21, 25030 Castrezzato, in the countryside west of Brescia. Brescia and Bergamo are the nearest cities, and Milan is within driving distance for a day event.
