Do you know what I love the most about our deck and backyard?
Nights spent outside, enjoying a glass of wine and delicious food, unwinding after a long day. It’s so simple, but it’s one of my favorite things to do in summer. The quietness that comes with living in the middle of nowhere makes it even more peaceful. 
One of my go-to beverages for these stress-free evenings?
This white sparkling wine from Italy is such a fun alternative to traditional cocktails and wine. It’s delicious on its own, but paired with garnishes or juices? Swoon! Need some ideas of what to make? Check out these Riondo Prosecco Cocktails!
Riondo Prosecco is an inexpensive alternative to Champagne so I can enjoy it more often, too! It’s the perfect drink for brunch, family get-togethers, BBQs, beach days, and of course – quiet evenings with friends or loved ones in the backyard.
Plus, it goes so well with grilled pizza. This Grilled Onion Sausage Fennel Pizza recipe paired with Riondo Prosecco is a mouthwatering way to go a little Italian for the summer!

This is the first grilled pizza recipe we’ve made, but this is far from the last. It’s the only way I want to make homemade pizza now. The smokiness of the grill lingers in the crispy crust while bringing out the flavors of your toppings in a way that the oven just can’t. SO good! 
Plus, I have a little secret.
It’s store-bought pizza dough.
I know, I know. Homemade is always better.
But if you’re looking for relaxing on the patio with your friends or just to unwind – a can of pizza dough that you grabbed from the store is SO much easier. And it still tastes delicious.
