Slowdays (www.slowdays.it) will be organizing a cooking class, winery visits, a truffle hunt (with light lunch), a picnic at a vineyard and a walk through the vineyards (with wine tasting and a light lunch). They will help you choose and book -- if you haven't received Sean's email with the details of the activities, please contact Claudia directly at claudia@slowdays.it. Just don't stuff yourself - we're hosting a celebration dinner this evening (see below)

We're not having a formal wedding party, so instead of a rehearsal dinner, we're hosting all of our wedding guests for a casual Italian feast.

We're getting married! Guests will gather at Villa Beccaris at 3:30pm and walk in procession to the Oratorio di Sant' Agostino (about 3 minutes on foot) for the wedding ceremony. Shuttles will transport guests from the hotels listed on the website (in the Travel section) to Villa Beccaris. Please check back here closer to the wedding date for pick-up times at your hotel.

Immediately following the ceremony. After a cocktail hour and dinner consisting of (what else) more delicious Italian food and wine, get out on the dance floor. Don't be shy. What happens in Piedmont stays in Piedmont.
