In August the Magazzino Dianella takes its summer break. But this does not mean that lunch stops at Villa Dianella. Quite the opposite. In the hottest month of the year, lunch simply changes address: from the Magazzino it moves to the Bistrot delle Scuderie.
It is a change that combines the best of two worlds. The convenience and genuineness of the everyday lunch meet the atmosphere and cuisine of the estate’s evening restaurant. The result is a summer lunch among the vineyards, in the shade of the stable courtyard, with the Bistrot’s refined cooking and the view over the hills of Vinci.
A Lunch That Is More Beautiful, Cooler, More Relaxing
In August, while the Magazzino observes its summer break, the Bistrot delle Scuderie extends its service to the lunch slot as well. It is a choice designed for resort guests, for passing visitors, but also for those who work in Empoli and the surrounding area and are looking for a lunch break out of the ordinary.
The idea is simple: to offer, in the hottest month of the year, a more beautiful hour. A lunch in the shade of the stable courtyard, with the breeze rising from the valley, the green of the vineyards all around and the silence of the Tuscan countryside. A cooler, more relaxing break, away from the heat and hurry of the town, just a few minutes from Empoli but in another world.
It is also a way to let those who know the Bistrot only as an evening restaurant discover it anew. Lunching here, in the full light of summer with the open view over the vineyards, is an experience different from dinner but every bit as beautiful.
What to Expect from Lunch at the Bistrot
Lunch at the Bistrot delle Scuderie brings to the table the same philosophy that characterises all of Villa Dianella’s cuisine: garden ingredients, local produce, refined preparations and the estate’s organic wines in pairing.
In the warm season, lunch is enjoyed outdoors, among the tables of the stable courtyard, in the shade with the breeze rising from the valley. It is the ideal setting for a summer lunch: cool, relaxed, with the landscape of the Vinci hills all around.
The offering follows the season and the rhythm of the garden. Fresh, light dishes suited to hot days: rich salads, seasonal first courses, garden vegetables, boards of Tuscan cured meats and cheeses, and of course the dishes that tell the story of the Bistrot’s cooking. All accompanied by a cool glass of Sereno e Nuvole or the rosé All’Aria Aperta, the wines made to be enjoyed outdoors on summer evenings and at summer lunches.
It is a lunch that suits everyone: resort guests who want to stay on the estate without moving, passing visitors seeking a quality stop, and those who work in the area and want to enjoy a slow, pleasant lunch immersed in the Tuscan countryside.
A Summer at the Table Among the Vineyards
With the Bistrot open for lunch, August at Villa Dianella becomes a month in which the table accompanies every moment of the day.
Lunch at the Bistrot, in the shade of the courtyard. The Rosso di Sera aperitivo on Thursday at sunset. Dinners at the Bistrot every evening. The Steak Night on Wednesday and Sunday, with the grill fired up in the courtyard. The Green & Grill, the appointment that brings the flavours of the grill to the table in its summer version. Each appointment has its own moment, its own rhythm, its own atmosphere, but all share the same substance: real cooking, estate wines, the beauty of the place.
This is the beauty of experiencing Villa Dianella in August. The Magazzino rests, but the estate continues to live and to welcome guests at the table, from the full light of lunch to the long evenings of summer.
