More Vino?

Who hasn’t dreamt of sitting by the vineyards in Tuscany, sipping a local Red and gazing into the countryside, all while the sounds of “Ciao Mam-ma” and “Hey Tony… You like-a another piece of pizza eh!?” echo in the distance?
OK so maybe it’s a cliche that only lives in my well-developed imagination… I’m not Italian, so the idea of a big family gathering with hearty comfort food a-plenty and conversation as bubbly and robust as the wine on the tables, sounds like a treasure to me. I could think of nothing better than to mimic this notion at a place where celebration, cheer and chatter is in abundance … At a wedding reception.
Whether you chose to be inspired from the mere idea of a family celebration or take the concept to the limits and host a Tuscan Wedding Banquet, it’s the good ol’ Italian hospitality that will make your guests feel right at home. Think wine from various regions of Italy, plentiful free-formed buffets of local fresh produce, long trestle tables for guests to sit and converse and a beautiful natural setting where nature is allowed to take centre-stage. For authentic decor nothing beats those tall happy Sunflowers in rustic tin-pails or wooden crates full of aromatic herbs. Let guests help themselves and relax in the surrounds of family, friends and celebration. Is there any better gift than that? ♥
