Castello di Ristonchi will be our host for the wedding as well as all other events we have planned throughout our stay. Castello di Ristonchi was commissioned by Italy’s famous Medici family in 900 AD and this 1,000 year-old castle is still watching over the gorgeous Tuscan hillside landscape. Its rich history shows throughout the property with signs of monks, wars, and stonemasons. Surrounding the castle are olive groves, hemp fields and fruit trees all in the middle of an ancient chestnut forest. We understand that a destination wedding is an enormous ask of our guests. We hope that if you choose to join us, you will look at this as an opportunity to travel to Italy and enjoy a vacation. We've tried to make things as simple as possible for you by working with Ristonchi to provide your housing for the duration of the wedding weekend. If you choose to join us for the wedding weekend then all accommodations for the three-day weekend will be included in a one-time reservation fee ($350.00/per guest). This price will include your lodging and meals for all three days. In addition to the traditional wedding evening hosted by the bride & groom, we will be hosting events throughout the three days-- including a welcome dinner, a pasta-making class and an optional wine tasting. Check-in begins at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 and check-out will be at 11:00 AM on Friday, September 12, 2025. There is a bar and small shop where you can buy coffee, drinks, ice cream and snacks. The castle is secluded so please bring everything special (like medication) you'll need for the weekend with you. If you have any questions that are not answered on the FAQ page, please feel free to reach out to one of us.
