One of the main things I wanted to do when we moved into our new place was to give our patio a makeover and get it all prettied up for outdoor entertaining and lounging. I’m happy to report phase one of that is done! (I’ll be sharing more about that soon.)

To celebrate I invited some of my new neighbors over and threw a little shindig with the help of Risata Wines. My neighbors didn’t want their photos shown because of privacy reasons, but I did get some photos of my pre-party set up on the new patio.

Hooray!

I invited everyone over for a quick meet and greet so I set out different types of Risata Wines and some snacks to nosh on. I wanted a casual vibe so all I did was lay everything out on a table and a few chairs scattered around.We also hung string lights to add a nice glow in the evening hours. Don’t the mylar balloons spelling out happy phrases look great against our new hedge? I’m thinking about leaving these up full time!We also served a fruity moscato punch that’s super easy to make. All you have to do is puree a handful of strawberries and a handful of pineapple in a pitcher.Then pour in a bottle of chilled Risata Moscato d’Asti and give it a quick stir. Serve cold with a strawberry to garnish!

I can’t wait to entertain more here!Cheers to summer celebrations!
