— 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!
