Our Summer Vineyard Dinners - 2024 Edition! 
June 15th, July 13th, August 3rd & September 7th

The wait is over and it’s time to book your seats at our dreamy table among the vines this summer.  

As always, expect an evening of good times, lively conversation, live music, lots of laughter and a touch of magic. Once again, the brilliant team from Albergaccio di Castellina will craft the most delicious of menus for each of our Vineyard Dinners. 

Our incredibly talented florists, Marielou Piante e Fiori and Winston & Winston Floral Design, are already coming up with ideas for each table scape that are truly what Tuscan dreams are made of. 

Calligrapher and creative extraordinaire, Betty Soldi, will also add a bit of whimsy and wonder to our Vineyard Dinners this summer as well. 

We hope you can join us for an evening that you will surely remember for years to come.
