Our Summer Vineyard Dinner Series 2022

JUNE 11TH, JULY 16TH, AUGUST 6TH + SEPTEMBER 10TH 

Our Summer Vineyard Dinner Series is back and there will be fairy lights, romantic and whimsical floral design, incredible musical artists, elevated Tuscan fare, creative brilliance, a few surprises and just a bit magic at these events this summer.

We’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with the culinary geniuses at Ristorante Albergaccio di Castellina this season.

Marie Lou Piante e Fiori and Winston & Winston Floral Design will once again add their stunning floral design to our seemingly endless table in our Livia vineyard.

We are over-the-moon to welcome back the Mascarade Opera Studio and Orsini Virtuosi to perform at our events and have the Cafe Society (the dynamic duo of Vicenzo Lodato and Matteo Londero) add a little speakeasy/lounge vibe to one of the dinners as well.

Calligraphy extraordinaire Betty Soldi will lend her creative brilliance to our September dinner, along with Irene Berni from Valdirose who will add her beautiful design touches and style.
