Mintcello is a stunning wedding venue located in Malibu, CA, perched high in the Santa Monica Mountains on 4.5 private acres. The Tuscan-inspired villa feels like a secluded romance above the coast—where golden-hour light, wide-open nature, and sweeping ocean views create an effortless sense of magic. With the Pacific just minutes away, the setting offers the rare balance of “destination” beauty and Malibu convenience, perfect for a wedding weekend, an intimate celebration, or a serene retreat with your favorite people.
From sunrise to dusk, the home is defined by its views—especially at nightfall, when the sky melts into a glowing Malibu sunset, and the ocean turns to glass. The property is exceptionally photogenic, framed by natural surroundings and expansive vantage points that elevate every moment—first-look photos, toast-worthy evenings, and quiet mornings with coffee in hand. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a custom stone deck and an upper-patio jacuzzi with ocean-and-sunset views, ideal for unwinding after a day of celebration.
Inside, warm, light-filled interiors flow into generous gathering spaces designed for togetherness—comfortable for hosting, relaxing, and lingering over meals. A fully equipped kitchen supports extended stays, while the calming atmosphere throughout the home feels restorative and private. And when it’s time to explore, you’re within easy reach of Malibu favorites, including Cielo Farms, Saddle Rock Ranch, and the iconic Old Place.
