The Perfect Wedding Weekend Itinerary in Tuscany, Italy
For Couples Dreaming of an Unforgettable Destination Celebration
When you choose Tuscany for your destination wedding, you're not just selecting a venue — you're inviting your guests into a world of rolling vineyards, candlelit dinners, and slow, meaningful moments.
To help you craft an unforgettable experience from arrival to farewell, we’ve curated the perfect three-day Tuscany wedding weekend itinerary — designed for couples who value connection, beauty, and elevated simplicity.
Friday: Arrival and Welcome Dinner Under the Stars
Settle In:
Most couples opt for a luxury villa, private estate, or countryside resort that can accommodate both the celebration and a portion of their guests. Not only does this create ease with logistics, but it also transforms your wedding into an immersive, shared experience.
Welcome Gift Ideas:
Greet guests with a curated welcome bag: a bottle of Chianti Classico, small-batch olive oil, biscotti, a handwritten note, and a printed itinerary.
Evening Welcome Dinner:
Host a relaxed al fresco dinner at a local osteria or your villa’s courtyard. Think wood-fired pizzas, handmade pici pasta, Aperol spritzes, and acoustic guitar in the background. It’s the first taste of the joy to come.

Saturday: The Wedding Day
Slow, Simple Mornings:
Begin with a slow breakfast overlooking the olive groves. Consider offering optional activities: morning yoga, a poolside espresso bar, or a short group excursion to a nearby town like Montepulciano or Cortona.
Ceremony in the Golden Light:
Exchange vows in a sun-drenched garden, a chapel on the property, or amidst the cypress trees. Plan for early evening to catch the iconic Tuscan glow.
Reception to Remember:
Celebrate with a multi-course meal prepared on-site, local wines poured freely, and music flowing well into the night. String lights, candlelit tables, and an Italian band or DJ make it magical.
Sunday: Farewell with Intention
Brunch & Recovery:
Ease into the morning with a farewell brunch. Fresh pastries, fruit, frittatas, and espresso served poolside or in the vineyard. Invite guests to linger, share memories, and savor the last slow bites.
Optional Excursions:
For guests extending their stay, suggest a wine tasting at a nearby vineyard, a Vespa ride through the countryside, or a private cooking class to carry a taste of Tuscany home.
