Because great guests ask great questions...
— here are the answers!
What should I pack as a guest?
Pack for spring in Tuscany — think layers and comfortable elegance! Essentials include:
-
Light layers: The weather can shift from warm daytime sun to cooler evenings.
-
A light jacket or shawl: Evenings in the countryside can be breezy.
-
Comfortable shoes: Borgo Casa al Vento is a charming hilltop estate with cobblestone paths and grassy areas — heels can be tricky! Consider wedges, block heels, or dressy flats.
-
Swimwear: There’s a pool at the venue, and you may want to relax before or after the festivities.
-
Sunscreen and sunglasses: The Tuscan sun can be strong, even in May.
-
A travel adaptor: Italy uses Type F/L plugs (230V, 50Hz) if you’re coming from abroad.
What should I wear?
Dress code for the wedding day itself is formal, beyond that we want you to feel comfortable and wear what feels good for you.
-
For women: Flowy dresses, midi or maxi lengths, in light fabrics like linen, silk, or chiffon. Pastels, florals, or earthy tones look beautiful against the Tuscan landscape.
-
For men: Lightweight suits or smart separates — think linen or cotton in beige, navy, or light grey.
-
Footwear: As the venue is rustic, choose shoes that can handle uneven terrain.
-
Evening layer: Bring a light jacket, wrap, or blazer for cooler nighttime temperatures.
What will the weather be like in early May?
Early May in Tuscany is pleasant and mild, perfect for a countryside wedding!
-
Average daytime temperature: 20–23°C (68–73°F)
-
Evening temperature: 10–13°C (50–55°F)
-
Rain: There’s a small chance of light rain, so a compact umbrella or wrap is handy, but sunshine is the norm.
Expect golden light, green hills, and blooming vineyards — a gorgeous time to visit!
