We have started to check out a few options to make it possible to visit a Winery and maybe oil production. So far we found out that a visit to a winery will most likely be arranged Friday 3.8. We have received some tips on where to go, and we can then make arrangements witht the winery.
We have also found out that there are some trips that can be arranged with the Tourist information. They have different options that give you the chance to taste local food while going sight seeing. These trips can be arrange for up to 7 people. It has fixed prices, so if you go 7 persons you divide the total price on 7. A problem is that the guiding is in Italian, and I don't know if it's possible to get English speaking guides. However, buildings, food, wine, and sceneries still should be interesting.
The tourist information where these trips can be booked (in advance) is situated on one end of a big parking, between the bus station and hovedgaten (Corso).
An other tourist information is situated on the right side when you come out of the Cathedral after passing the square.

Bus transport the wedding day
We are aware of the fact that many of you prefer to not have to stress with driving around to find parking for the wedding. As you should know the church is situated “in piazza” as central as yo can get in Lanciano. To avoid parking problems we have ordered a bus that will come to Valle di Venere (the restaurant where the receiption will be) at 10 am, Saturday the 4th. The guests that are staying at Valle di Venere and others are therefore welcome to use this bus to the church. Estimated time to travel is about 15 minutes.
After the ceremony in the church, you are all welcome to take the bus to Valle di Venere. We advice those staying within walking distance from church to walk to the church in the morning and then take the bus to the receiption. The bus will leave from outside the church when all the photos are taken etc.
For the transport back to town, we have arranged with some friends of Venusia that will work as taxies and can bring people back to town when they want. For that tranportation we will probably arrange with a fixed fee to pay the kind drivers.

Contact information in Italy
With less than two weeks left to the big day, both of us have arrived in Lanciano. I can tell you that the weather is very different from Norway at the moment. It is very hot! We're hoping that it will cool down a bit, because it's a bit too warm to do anything else than staying at the beach.
We have been thinking that it would be practical for us to be accessible on Italian cell phone numbers, since it's going to be very expensive answering and calling on our Norwegian numbers. I guess it can be usefull in case someone is lost, can't find the hotel etc.
Our phonenumbers are: (I suggest you save it on your cell phone instead of writing it down on a paper you are not going to find when you need it)
Venusia: +39 3477210579
Birger: +39 3348446780
We will also be available on our Norwegian phonenumbers.

Bus to Lanciano
Do you arrive in Rome?
The best way to come to Lanciano from Rome (if you don't have a car) is with bus.
From the airport (Fiumicino or Ciampino) you have to arrive to Tiburtina bus station (across the street from Tiburtina train station).
Once there, you should find the office that sells tikets for a company called "di fonzo" or in general tickets to Abruzzo. The office should be the letter C, but you can just ask or look a bit around. There you can ask a ticket fot the first bus to Lanciano.
I suggest you bring some cash with you, because they do not accept credit cards (weird, I know), and the cost of the ticket one way is 17€.
The bus then should leave from platform 13, however you can ask the sellers.
The bus then normally take a 10 minutes break on the higway. Furthermore sometime you'll have to shift bus on your way to Lanciano (the driver will tell the passengers). The journey hould take about 3hours according to the traffic conditions.
You find busses at this times:
Rome-Lanciano
10.00-13.00 monday to saturday
14.30-17.10 always
14.30-18.15 always (slower because goes into a town on the way)
17.30-21.00 monday to saturday
19.00-21.41 monday to saturday
21.00-23.40 always
From Lanciano, you will have to buy your ticket at Di Fonzo agency, on the main street (corso Trento e Trieste), open in office hours.
