There will be lots of food and plenty of drinks flowing so please come hungry! This will be the perfect way to unwind, mingle, and soak in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside before we say “I do.” We can't wait to share this special moment with you!

Recommended Attire: Garden Party

Ladies are welcome to wear casual dresses or a blouse and skirt/pants, while gentlemen should wear slacks and a button down or collared shirt. Ladies - there will be grass and gravel to walk across therefore we do NOT recommend stiletto heels.

It's Wedding Day!!!

Mama mia!! The big day is finally here! Our ceremony will commence at The Pond &amp; Arches Overlooking the Hills at 4PM. Please arrive at 3:30pm to enjoy a vino (or two..) and settle in pre-ceremony. All guests will enjoy an apertivo hour following the wedding ceremony. This is your chance to soak it all in, and by “it” we mean local wine, cheese, charcuterie, artisanal breads and more. Following the aperitivo hour, we will enjoy a formal sit down dinner in the Monaciano courtyard, and finally, will make our way to the dance floor located inside the Monaciano wine cellar.

Recommended Attire: Black Tie Optional

Ladies are encouraged to wear dresses (cocktail or floor length gowns) and we ask that all gentlemen wear suits (tuxedos are optional).

SUNDAY OCTOBER 5, 2024

The Recovery - Poolside Brunch at the Poggio

Because we simply don’t want this weekend to end, please join us for Brunch on Sunday morning starting at 10AM at the Poggio Pool. There will be sandwiches, fruit, coffee and hair of the dog for those who might need it ;). Weather permitting, we will continue our casual celebrations by lounging poolside. You bring the good vibes, we will provide the cocktails and something to snack on. Should we find it is not necessarily pool weather, there are other activities for guests to partake in. If you’d like, the team at Monaciano will be hosting tours of the vineyard as well as wine tastings in the cellar.

Recommended Attire: Casual & Comfy

Feel free to pack some swimwear and comfy clothes to lounge in.
