At Il Vigno, mealtimes are more than just nourishment – they’re the heartbeat of our home.

Tucked into the forested hills of Caprese Michelangelo, far from tourist crowds and traffic, our remote agriturismo brings people together around the dinner table to share local food, meaningful conversation, and stories from around the world.

If you’re looking for an agriturismo in Tuscany that celebrates slow food, real connection, and community – you’ll find it here.

1. What “Farm-to-Table” Means at Il Vigno

We don’t use the term “farm-to-table” lightly. Our food is grown, raised, and sourced locally – often right here on our land or from neighboring farms we know personally.

🍅 Seasonal vegetables
🥚 Fresh eggs
🌿 Herbs from our garden
🥖 Bread made with ancient grains
🧀 Local cheeses and cured meats
🍷 Natural wines from nearby producers

Menus change with the season – and the weather. What stays constant is the flavor, the care, and the joy of sharing what we have.

2. The Ritual of the Shared Dinner Table

Every evening, our guests gather around a long communal table for a family-style dinner. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or part of a small group, you’re invited into the warmth of our kitchen and our community.

There’s no menu, no rush, no separation.

Just:

Home-cooked Tuscan dishes passed hand-to-hand

Stories and laughter in many languages

Local wine flowing as the sun sets over the valley

“We arrived as strangers and left as friends. These dinners were the highlight of our trip.” – Guest from Germany

3. A Slow Food Philosophy That Respects the Land

We’re proud to support biodiversity, local heritage, and seasonal balance. Inspired by the Slow Food movement, we prepare everything by hand – with respect for ingredients and tradition.

What you won’t find here:

Processed foods

Imported ingredients

Rushed service or commercial “Tuscan experiences”

You’re not just dining. You’re becoming part of a story that’s rooted in the soil, the seasons, and the culture of rural Tuscany.

4. A Culinary Experience for Adults Who Appreciate Depth

Because we host an adults-only agriturismo, our dinners have a special tone – relaxed, intimate, and grown-up.

There’s space to share travel stories, wine notes, and personal histories. No distractions, no stress – just long conversations and memorable flavors.

Many of our guests return year after year to taste what’s new, and revisit that feeling of slow, grounded joy.
