EXTRA WEDDING EVENTS TO PLAN IN TUSCANY

Outdoor wedding reception couple

When you’re getting married in Tuscany, why limit the celebration to just one day?

​

With its postcard-perfect landscapes, slow pace of life, and world-class food and wine, Tuscany is the ultimate setting for multi-day wedding experiences. Whether you're bringing a handful of guests or hosting a full-scale destination wedding, adding a few extra events can help you make the most of your time together—and create memories that go far beyond the ceremony.

​

Here are some beautiful, Italian-inspired ideas to make your Tuscan wedding a full weekend to remember:

Wedding table decor

1. WELCOME DINNER WITH A TUSCAN TWIST

Start the festivities with a warm welcome the Italian way—think long tables under the stars, rustic local dishes, and plenty of Chianti flowing.
You might choose a casual pizza night or a traditional trattoria meal.

​

Add a few local musicians, a spritz station, or even a gelato cart to make it feel extra special.

2. RELAXED POOL PARTY

Tuscany is known for its glorious sunshine—so make the most of it with a laid-back pool day. Think:

​

  • Aperol Spritzes and prosecco popsicles

  • Pool floaties and parasols

  • Lounge playlists or a live acoustic set

  • Grazing tables and BBQ bites

​

Perfect for day-after recovery or a pre-wedding meet-and-greet.

3. TUSCAN COOKING CLASS

A fun and interactive way to connect your guests with the region—and each other. Organise a hands-on cooking experience where guests learn how to make:

​

  • Fresh pasta or gnocchi

  • Traditional Tuscan dishes like ribollita or pappa al pomodoro

  • Tiramisu or cantucci with Vin Santo

​​

Bonus: Everyone gets to eat the results together!

4. WINE TASTING OR VINEYARD TOUR

Tuscany is wine country, after all! Host an elegant wine tasting with a local sommelier or organise a vineyard tour. Add cheese, honey, and olive oil pairings to make it a full experience.

​

This can be a daytime activity or a pre-dinner event with sunset views.

5. SUNSET APERITIVO NIGHT

Set up a relaxed, elegant sunset drinks evening with a classic aperitivo vibe:

​

  • Negronis, spritzes, and prosecco

  • Antipasti platters

  • Background music or a live duo

  • Cozy seating and candlelight

​​

A stylish and informal way to welcome guests or say goodbye before everyone heads home.

6. POST-WEDDING PICNIC OR BRUNCH

After the big day, give your guests a gentle landing with a Tuscan brunch or picnic:

​

  • Local breads, cured meats, and cheeses

  • Fresh fruit and pastries

  • Lemon water and espresso

  • Optional lawn games or relaxed music

​​

Keep it casual and come-as-you-are—it’s a great time to relive the best moments of the day before.

8. GUIDED WALKING TOUR OR LOCAL MARKET TRIP

Offer your guests a taste of authentic Tuscany with a guided town walk or a trip to a nearby market. You can include:

​

  • A history-rich city tour

  • Artisan shopping

  • Street food tastings

  • Coffee stops in charming piazzas

​​

It’s a great way to break the ice and help guests fall in love with the region.
