Le Filigare Vineyard in Chianti

Check-in: Friday September 27 | 3pm

Check-out: Monday, September 30 | 10am

We have reserved the vineyard and villas at Le Filigare for our guests from September 27 to September 30. Each villa has private bedrooms, but it's possible that you may be sharing your villa (common areas such as kitchen + bathroom) with others.

Your stay at Le Filigare is on us! You do not need to contact the vineyard to pay for rooms.

Kindly RSVP if you would like to stay at Le Filigare as our guests. If you prefer to arrange your own accommodations, please decline. There are many Airbnbs, hotels, and agriturismos in the area.

Accommodations are set as a separate event on the RSVP page.

TransportationWe will handle transportation from the vineyard to the wedding at Castello il Palagio and back.

Please Note: Le Filigare is situated atop one of the highest points in Chianti, offering breathtaking views. While it is in a secluded location with no nearby stores within walking distance, there are towns accessible within a 15-minute drive. Enjoy the convenience of complimentary breakfast, and each villa is equipped with its own kitchen for your comfort.

Things to Do

Book tours in advance!

If you would like to visit museums, buy your tickets in advance! September is still very busy in Tuscany, especially in Florence. Purchasing your tickets in advance will ensure you don't miss out on the historical sites and beauty of Tuscany.

With apps like VIATOR you can explore tons of excursions as well as book private transportation.

Museum Passes

Museum Passes

Rome has two cards, one lasting 48 hours and the other 72. You can visit 1 or 2 museums but you’ll have full access to transports and discounts for events or exhibitions.

Florence has a pass that lasts 72 hours allowing you to enter all the museums of the cities once. I highly suggest this option while in Florence, a gem in the art history world. Do not miss out on visiting the Uffizi and Accademia. 

Customs when Dining Out

Tipping & Asking for the Check

When dining out, you can forgo tipping your server. They're compensated generously. Tourism is a major industry in Italy, and one of the things that brings visitors from all over the world is their food culture. Most restaurants will have menus available in both English and Italian. You can also ask your server any recommendations. They love to chat about food and will often make some amazing suggestions.

In Italy, food and company aren't meant to be rushed, so it's considered rude to assume a table is done with their meal. When you are ready, simply ask your waiter for the check. They'll be happy to assist you.

"Il conto, per favore."—The check, please.
