Winery with rooms
The evening ends with a glass under the stars and bed a few steps away. Tasting, dinner and rooms in one place.
South-eastern Sicily
Weddings, stays
and experiences
in the Val di Noto.
One agency for the ceremony, the villas, the boat and the honeymoon. Ten years on the ground in Sicily.
Who we are
We don't only plan weddings.
We plan the time you'll spend here.
For over ten years we have worked in weddings and luxury events in south-eastern Sicily. In that time we built a network worth more than any catalogue: the winemakers who open the cellar after hours, the fisherman in Marzamemi, the seamstress in Ragusa Ibla, the cooks who still cook the old way.
Everything else comes from that network: a night among the vines, a lunch that lasts until sunset, a ceremony in an 18th-century farmhouse, a honeymoon across the Aeolian Islands. One point of contact, start to finish.
Five ways to be in Sicily
The place
Eight cities of stone,
two hundred kilometres of coast
The Val di Noto is a UNESCO World Heritage site: eight cities rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake, all in the same limestone, all in the same century. It is the only place in Europe where the baroque runs straight into the sea. Add Etna an hour away, the Cerasuolo vineyards, the tuna fishery at Marzamemi and the October light, and you understand why we stayed.
Val di Noto · Noto · Ragusa Ibla · Modica · Marzamemi · Vendicari · Etna
Noto
The great staircase, stone that turns gold at sunset, palaces with carved balconies.
Ragusa Ibla
The Iblean garden, stepped alleyways, trattorie where you still eat outside.
Marzamemi
The old tuna fishery, the square on the sea, fish landed steps from the table.
Vendicari
A nature reserve: flamingos, dunes, coves reachable only on foot or by boat.
Modica and Scicli
Cold-worked chocolate, churches that look like theatres, real film sets.
Etna
An hour's drive. Wineries on the lava, sunrise above the clouds, nerello mascalese.
Where to stay
Houses, masserie and wineries
Some you can book straight away. Others appear on no portal and open only with a phone call: those are the ones we recommend for weddings and events.
Winery · Ragusa
Country winery
A garden, spaces made for hosting, solar power. An orderly, living place for long lunches and intimate ceremonies.
18th-century farmhouse · Val di Noto
Our farmhouse
We run it ourselves. That means we guarantee the date, and every detail, from the lighting to the table, is decided together, with no middlemen.
To do
Days, not activities
Half day
A boat at Vendicari
Coves reachable only from the water, a swim by the old fishery, lunch aboard with the day's catch.
Afternoon
Tasting among the vines
Cerasuolo and Frappato where they are born, with the people who make them. A table set between the rows.
From dawn
Etna before sunrise
Climb in the dark, breakfast above the clouds, descend through the lava wineries.
Three hours
Cooking side by side
Market in the morning, cooking in the afternoon, dinner in the evening. Family recipes, not school ones.
Evening
Noto after the lights go down
The city once the coaches have left: private courtyards, terraces, a glass on the staircase.
