……the beginning of something very good

A LOVE STORY IN TUSCANY
W'e’re getting married.
We're trading ordinary for unforgettable and saying "I do" beneath the Tuscan sun.
Join us at Castello di Cafaggio, a 14th-century castle nestled among vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills, as we celebrate the beginning of our next chapter with the people who mean the world to us.
We hope you'll turn this into more than a wedding weekend. Wander through Italy, linger over long dinners, raise a few Aperol Spritzes, and share in a celebration we'll remember forever.
PACK A BAG.
Tuscany is calling.
Two Days in Tuscany.

THE PLACE
Somewhere in Tuscany…
IMPRUNETA, ITALY
Dating back to 1100, Castello di Cafaggio has seen centuries of artists, aristocrats, winemakers, and a little Italian intrigue pass through its doors. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, it’s the kind of place where history doesn’t feel stuck in the past…it’s simply part of the atmosphere.
Old-world, wildly romantic, and now the setting for one very good party.
STAY WELL
We've selected a handful of places we genuinely love, all within fifteen minutes of Castello di Cafaggio. Staying nearby means less time on winding country roads and more time enjoying long dinners, late-night conversations, and every moment of the celebration.
Where to rest your head.
p.s. book early
AGRITURISMO INALBI
Closest to Castle
The most authentic countryside experience. Stone farmhouses, olive trees, homemade breakfasts, and the feeling that you've stumbled upon a place locals hoped you'd never find.
HOTEL VILLA CESI
Spa & Resort
If you're turning this wedding into a proper Tuscan escape, this is it. Spend the morning by the pool, the afternoon exploring wine country, and the evening celebrating with us.
RELAIS VILLA OLMO
Boutique Luxury
Elegant rooms, vineyard views, and the kind of place that makes every morning coffee feel cinematic.
LA QUERCIA ESTATE
Perfect for Groups
Traveling with family or friends? This private estate offers space to spread out while still keeping everyone together.
LOGISTICS
Getting there without losing your mind.
THE AIRPORTS
Florence (FLR): Closest at 30 min. Small, easy, ideal.
Pisa (PSA): About 1 hour out from Florence.
Rome (FCO): About 3 hours. Worth it if you’re adding a few days extra to your trip.
PASSPORT
No visa needed for U.S. citizens staying under 90 days.
Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your trip.
Go check. We’ll wait.
DATA & SIM
Grab an eSIM before you land. WindTre and Vodafone both work well.
Already have international coverage? Even easier.
GET A RENTAL CAR
You’ll want one in the countryside. Book an automatic early, they go fast.
And avoid Florence’s ZTL zones. The cameras are real. So are the fines.
EUROS & CARDS
Cards are widely accepted, but keep a little cash handy for smaller countryside spots.
JET LAG IS REAL
Italy is 6 hours ahead of Eastern, 9 ahead of Pacific.
Come a couple days early. Reset. Explore. Consider it part of the trip.
LA DOLCE VITA
The Aesthetic
We invite you to dress for a summer evening in the Tuscan countryside. Think timeless silhouettes, beautiful tailoring, flowing fabrics, and effortless Italian elegance.
For color, embrace rich, deep tones or soft, romantic pastels. Burgundy, chocolate, olive, navy, rust and plum, or blush, butter yellow, powder blue, sage and lavender.
Please choose solid colors only. No patterns, prints, or florals.
Leave the traditional black-tie rules behind. We’re after elevated, effortless sophistication with a distinctly Italian point of view.
LOGISTICS
Things you’re probably wondering.
-
Early 2027, with your official RSVP, full event details, and everything else. This page is just the early drop so you can get ahead of flights and accommodation before everyone else figures it out.
P.S. SUMMER FLIGHTS TO EUROPE GO EARLY. DON'T SLEEP ON IT.
-
Think elevated, not stuffy. Linen suits, tailored trousers, blazers for the guys. Midi and maxi dresses, sleek jumpsuits, anything that looks like you tried without looking like you tried too hard. It's a Tuscan castle in July, lean into the moment. The cobblestone paths are beautiful and uneven, so if you're wearing heels, bring a backup pair of flats or wedges you can actually walk in.
P.S. WARM TONES, NEUTRAL LINENS, FLORALS. NOT WHITE. YOU KNOW THE ONE.
-
Hot. Like, actually hot. Tuscany in July runs around 90°F (32°C) during the day with warm evenings around 70°F (21°C). The ceremony and dinner are mostly outdoors. Dress for it. A light layer for late night is never a bad call.
-
Book yourself using our list as there are no official blocks. More flexibility for you, but it also means no one's holding rooms. Move on it when you're ready to commit to coming.
P.S. TRAVELING WITH A GROUP? LA QUERCIA ESTATE HAS MULTI-ROOM OPTIONS. WORTH LOOKING INTO EARLY.
-
Not at all. But learning a few words genuinely makes the trip better, people appreciate it. "Grazie" (thank you), "per favore" (please), "un cafe, per favore" (a coffee please), and "il conto" (the check) will carry you almost everywhere. Most places in the Florence area have English, but deeper in the countryside, effort counts for a lot.
-
Note them on your RSVP when invitations go out, the caterers will be on it. Tuscan food is naturally great for vegetarian and gluten-friendly diets. You will be fed, and fed well.
-
Yes. The venue is in the hills, ride shares don't really exist out there, and you don't want to be problem-solving logistics at the end of a great night. Having a car means total freedom to come when you want, leave when you're ready, and explore Tuscany on your own timeline. If driving abroad feels like a lot, coordinate with someone at your hotel. Split it.
P.S. BOOK AN AUTOMATIC. MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS A WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE IN ITALY.
WHILE YOU’RE THERE
You crossed an ocean. Stay a while.
30 MIN AWAY
Florence
Duomo. Uffizi. Ponte Vecchio. Back-street trattorias. Espresso at the bar. Go wander.
OBVIOUSLY
Chianti Wineries
You’re in wine country. Drink Chianti where it was born. Enough said.
DAY TRIP
San Gimignano
Medieval towers, tiny streets, excellent gelato. The drive through the hills is half the point.
RIGHT OUTSIDE
Impruneta & Chianti
Vineyard roads, market squares, and views worth pulling over for. You’re already in the good part.
DAY TRIP
Siena
Medieval streets and the iconic Piazza del Campo. Go early, beat the heat, stay for lunch.
Best advice:
Get Lost. Pick a direction. Stop when something looks good. Eat where it smells good.
Coming all the way to Tuscany is more than enough. But for those who asked, we put together a few things we’d love to bring home with us.
Consider this the completely optional part.
P.S. SAVE THE BAG SPACE. SHIP IT.
