Borgo Divino · Tuscany, Italy
Welcome
After eight years together, we're making it official, and we'd love nothing more than to have you there with us.
Join us for a weekend in the Tuscan countryside. Good wine, good food, and the people we care about most.
The Venue
A farmhouse in the hills outside Florence
Nestled among the rolling hills of Montespertoli, just a short drive from Florence, Borgo Divino is a place where time seems to stand still. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and cypress trees, this historic estate offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Chianti countryside.
“Wine is sunlight, held together by water.”
— Galileo Galilei
The Weekend
Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th May 2027
The weekend kicks off with a relaxed pizza night at the venue. Wood-fired pizza, a complimentary bottle of wine to share between two, and a chance for everyone to meet and settle in before the big day.
Breakfast is provided for those staying at the venue. After that, relax around the grounds and by the pool. Drinks are on you for now. The open bar starts after the ceremony, so pace yourselves. Just remember to leave time to get ready!
Take your seats in the garden as we say “I do” under the Tuscan sky. Expect around 30 minutes of vows, readings, and a lot of smiling.
Sip prosecco and spritzes poolside while you mingle. Canapés, live music, and photos with the photographer while the light is good.
A Tuscan feast served family-style as the sun sets over the hills. Multiple courses of local cuisine, unlimited wine, speeches, and the cutting of the cake.
First dance, DJ, and dancing under the stars until late. Open bar all night with beers, wines, and a range of cocktails. Bring shoes you can move in.
Getting There
The venue is in Montespertoli, about 40 minutes from Florence. Here are the easiest ways to reach us.
Saturday 29 May: Pizza party at the venue (be there by late afternoon)
Sunday 30 May: The wedding
We've included Friday travel options for those who'd like to arrive a day early and enjoy Florence before heading to the venue. It's completely optional. Plenty of people will fly in on Saturday morning and that works perfectly.

Flight prices may be higher than usual right now due to global fuel costs, but are likely to come down closer to the wedding. Book early if you spot a good deal.
Coming from elsewhere in the country? Manchester, Leeds Bradford and Birmingham also fly direct to Pisa or Florence.
