Every patio has one person who calls the hour. The Tuscany personalized wine bell gives them a bell to do it with. The sign above the bell reads Time for Wine, framed in vine detail, with your family name cast into it. It’s the gift people buy for a couple who host, and it ends up by the grill or the back door more often than anywhere else.

Your name on the sign

One line, up to 12 characters at 1.25 inches tall. The sample reads “The Taylors.” Spaces count, so “The” plus a surname works up to about eight letters. The name on a Tuscany personalized wine bell is cast with the rest of the plaque, so it stays as long as the bell does.

Finish on the Tuscany personalized wine bell

Bronze/Gold is the only finish for this one, and it suits the theme. The bronze tone looks like an old Italian courtyard piece, and the gold picks out the lettering and the vines. On a stone wall or a stained pergola post it blends in; on white it stands out.

Cast aluminum outdoors

The Tuscany personalized wine bell is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, which won’t rust. Its all-weather coating is covered by a five-year warranty. Rain, snow and spilled wine all rinse off with a hose.

Hang it where it can be rung without hitting the wall behind, and where the sound carries to the yard. A post at the edge of the patio works well.

If black suits your space better, the bells category has a Wine Time bell with a grapevine design in Black/Gold. For other garden pieces cast from the same aluminum, see the Garden Collection. Then read the name back before ordering, because personalized castings can’t be modified or returned.
