For One Night Only, Brunello Cucinelli Transformed the Wölffer Estate Stables Into an Italian Piazza

The threat of rain didn’t deter guests—including Christie Brinkley and Alexandra Daddario—from donning their finest Brunello Cucinelli and heading to the Wölffer Estate Stables in The Hamptons last night. Upon arrival, they were immediately and perhaps unexpectedly transported to an Italian piazza, where two long, winding tables circled a fountain and a makeshift mercato was set up, stocked to the brim with ripe tomatoes, fresh cheese, and an assortment of charcuterie.

Dressed in the quiet luxury brand’s signature shades of beige, cream, and brown, attendees mingled during cocktail hour, chatting about the looming storm and their end-of-summer plans out east. “I brought sunglasses too, but where’s the sun?” joked Kelly Turlington Burns.

Next, the evening gave way to a seated dinner with an Umbrian-style menu of rigatoni pomodoro and gelato with fresh fruit, serenaded by live acoustic guitar, and of course paired with Wölffer Estate Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc.

“This was a tiny little farmhouse on a potato field,” co-host Joey Wölffer told the crowd, gesturing at the surrounding space. “It’s spectacular. It’s way more than I could ever imagine.”

Brunello Cucinelli CEO Riccardo Stefanelli flew in for a quick 24 hours to make an appearance. “I’m not complaining—being in such a beautiful place with such beautiful people,” he said. “There are many words—beauty, dignity, craftsmanship, attention to detail—but what we have here is not just a winery or a cellar, it’s a community.”
