Set amid the picturesque landscape of the vineyards at the renowned Hillinger Winery, this casual, modern wedding celebration takes place. The rolling hills and sprawling vineyards provide a natural backdrop for a relaxed wedding with a youthful vibe that is nonetheless steeped in tradition.
The bride glows in her elegant dress, whose fabric gently skims her silhouette. After a relaxed “getting ready” session in the company of her favorite makeup artist and bridesmaids, the bride-to-be heads toward the winery. As the wind plays with her hair, she clutches her bouquet tightly—a creation made from local flowers and grasses. Now it’s finally time to marry the love of her life and gently hold her dream man in her arms...
Under the open sky, surrounded by the beauty of nature, a traditional wine ritual is performed during the wedding ceremony. This symbolic ritual, accompanied by the gentle sounds of the wedding band, connects the couple in a unique way to the region and the tradition of winemaking.
After the ceremony, a lovingly prepared reception on the winery’s stone terrace invites guests to linger. Here, under the bright sun and with a glass of the finest Hillinger wine in hand, guests can enjoy the summery atmosphere and regional delicacies. Particularly impressive is the “Gracing Table,” which is set with a cheese cake and numerous traditional regional delicacies. The mix of sweets and savory dishes offers something for every taste and invites guests to indulge.
The band provides atmospheric music to accompany the delightful agape reception. Even while they’re still on the sun terrace, the first guests begin to sway gently to the beat of the music—no sooner are the first wine glasses set down than people are dancing on the terrace.
Even after moving indoors, the atmosphere remains lively. The bride and groom are welcomed with a special entrance at Hillingers’ event venue: The guests wave their cloth napkins and, in keeping with tradition, welcome the couple to the celebration. It’s a perfect start to a wonderfully lively wedding celebration, which continues into the late evening hours with wine and a zest for life.
