Pizza Dinner Welcome Party
7:30 pm
We cannot wait to share our love of pizza...okay David's love for pizza with you, our guests. The pizza dinner will be a make your own style event - top your pizza with fresh ingredients from the castle garden and cook it yourselves in the stone oven built right into the castle tower! Roll out fresh dough, sip local wine, and watch the sunset from the terrace. The goal is to relax and have some fun getting to know one another before the big day.

Join us for a light breakfast on the terrace. Indulge in Fresh Bread with Local Jams and Honey, Cheese Boards, Yogurt, Muesli. Includes Coffee, Juice and Still Water. All the honey and olive oil we consume all weekend come from bees raised right on site at the Castello and olives harvested from the olive groves. Still hungry? No problem!

Ristonchi Farm Tour and Beer Tasting
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Follow our guide around the castle grounds as they show you the amazing variety of plants and flowers and what they can be used for. Come ready to taste and experiment directly from the plants. Depending on the season look at our olive groves and hemp fields and visit our beehives. At the end you’ll enjoy tasting our refreshing CBD beer made from the hemp we grow and the fresh olive oil we harvest ourselves. - Good walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen are recommended. Bug repellent might be a good idea too.
