PÈPPOLI “La Cucina Toscana”
For reservations call (831) 647-7423
The Pèppoli Vineyard in Tuscany, owned by legendary Italian winemaker
Marchese Piero Antinori, inspires Pèppoli at Pebble Beach. For more than 600 years
the Antinori family has led a “renaissance” in Italian wine making by combining
long traditions, a love of authenticity, and a dynamic, innovative spirit.
This tradition continues at Pèppoli at Pebble Beach. The menu
showcases the centuries-old traditions of culture and cuisine of the
Antinori family, Florence and the Tuscan countryside, and pairs
perfectly with the wines from the estates of Antinori.
