Grand Opening
15 – 29 August 2026
An estate of 1623 reopens its doors. Two weeks of music, dinners and experiences among the vineyards of Valpolicella, twenty minutes from Verona.
The reawakening
For four centuries it has watched over the hills of Valpolicella. Now Villa Saibante Monga comes back to life: fifteen days of music, art and feasting to celebrate its rebirth — together.

The movements
Two weeks, a crescendo
The villa is never silent
Two Sundays of festival and, every evening, live music: harp and cellos in the afternoon, violin and opera voices towards sunset, bands and DJ sets late into the night. Among the guests, an illustrator and a calligrapher for a hand-drawn keepsake.
Dinners as rituals
Nonna's dinner among the vines, convivial and served “just like grandma would”. Medieval dinners in two sittings of twenty-five. Wine Socials with Valpolicella's wineries, told by those who make them. And, for those who wish, a day in Venice or Florence, departing from the villa.
The grand finale
Venetian Gala Dream
Each week rises to a single evening. A sunset aperitivo with harp and cellos, dinner accompanied by tenor, soprano and string trio, then music and dancing into the night. Silk, lace and masks: Renaissance Venice comes alive again — for one night.
