Cooking classes
You can take vegan cooking inspiration back home since we show you how to prepare plant-based special dishes for every occasion.
Wine tour and cellar visit
Without any chemical influences, at i pini we press harmonic, organic quality wines which resemble the terroir of its origin. All our wines are vegan since we renounce animal products during its production. Visit our rustic wine cellar and taste Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Chianti, accompanied by vegan snacks.
Excursions
In spring when the fruit trees are blossoming and the vines awake from hibernation, Tuscany is best discovered by foot. Peace surrounds the soul and from the Tuscan hills, the world looks like a different one.
For your hikes, we recommend planning in some more time since you could pass by a remote farm which invites to stay. Take off your hiking boots and have a sip of wine. Leave words behind and let emotions be your guidance. Feel small amidst the immensity of the region and at the same time as the world is yours. Enjoy this special feeling of freedom. Everything is as it should be.
Biking
Tuscany is a biker’s paradise. Take in the stunning views while taking a casual ride or taking on a more challenging mountain climb.
The kitchen
As Agrivilla guests enjoy Tuscan cuisine differently: vegan, creative and special. Simply carefree. The natural is no trend, but a lifestyle. The ingredients? Preferably from the own garden and local farmers, which we know by name. Our plates colour with the seasons and follow the rhythms of the moon. Therefore we strongly believe in the intelligence of nature and the wholesomeness of her fruits.
Priceless, but always included at the villa i pini: The view from the patio on the towers of San Gimignano, the medieval Manhattan. The perfect location for nice hours at any time of the day. Uncomplicated, vegan and spontaneous.
BUONGIORNO
At the Agrivilla the sun already smiles with the breakfast: Everyday freshly baked bread by Grazia. Sun-ripened tomato salad, jams and spreads, homemade cake, granola and fruit. Days that start like this can only make one happy.
BUONASERA
And in the evening the Agrivilla provides organic, vegan plates. Four handmade courses. Including the best cold-pressed olive oil, Mediterranean herbs and a pinch of hospitality. The vine derives from the Agrivilla organic vineyard. From the historic i pini cellar just next door.
RESTAURANT
We gratefully open our restaurant during the day. From 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm our creative cuisine prepares creative plates according to the seasons. In the late afternoon, we serve an elegant aperitif with handmade vegan delicacies. This is how we prepare for an evening in Italy.

The Agrivilla i pini is not a place that you just randomly stumble upon. The small vegan winery wants to be discovered, far away from the bustling streets of the old town center of San Gimignano. Off the beaten track from tourists that seek their way through the narrow alleys. Tucked away on a small hill. Quiet, close to nature, pristine. A place where time has stopped. Once you pass the majestic entrance gate beneath the high growing pine trees you sense that you will spend your days stressless in a place that makes you feel like home. Sometimes we hear that the dusty road that leads there will test your patience. But the best places are hard to reach, aren’t they? And that’s Tuscany! We can’t change that, and we wouldn’t want to anyways. This is what gives this place its charm. Our job on the vineyard is as challenging and unique as that dusty road. Our approach to natural farming can be so wonderfully multifarious. Including you, our lovely guests that we want to make feel at home. We would love to tell you more stories about i pini, our variety of quality wines which are gratefully filled into their bottle by the moon itself. Maybe you want to experience our lively vineyard or even lend us a hand during our grape harvest in September? We also recommend May as a good month to travel, since it is cherry season and you can watch them growing at i pini waiting to be picked and eaten. Whereas summer brings apricots, black berries and figs. All of high quality. All natural without any use of pesticides. i pini in San Gimignano is a wonderfully vegan place. Join us to shape it.
