Dine in our Family run Farmhouse – Traditional organic Food & Wine
Book on Viator →Operated by La Vigna degli dei · Bookable on Viator
A farmhouse meal can feel like a secret you share. This experience at La Vigna degli dei mixes a tour of a family organic farm with a wine tasting and a full 3-course meal. I especially like the human touch: Pasquale and Rosanna are known for cooking with warmth, so it doesn’t feel like a stiff production. One thing to consider is the schedule: it’s only about 2 hours, so you’ll want to show up on time to get the full flow.
The day runs around two service windows, one midday and one evening, so you can match it to your plans in the Positano area. You’ll start at Via Castello, 3 (San Lazzaro area), tour the farmhouse for about 30 minutes, and then settle into the meal. It’s a private setup for your group, in English, with a mobile ticket and a tour host/escort.

Family-Run Farmhouse Dining Near Positano: The Feel You’re Buying
This isn’t a fancy restaurant night where you watch strangers move through a script. The draw here is that it’s built around a family farmhouse setting, with food and drink that feel grown-up but still personal. You’re not just sampling local flavors; you’re getting a hosted meal where the people behind the cooking matter.
I love experiences like this because they solve two travel problems at once. First, you get quality food without hunting for the right spot. Second, you get context for what you’re eating because you’re seeing the farmhouse side of the story. With organic food and wine at the center, it’s a good match for anyone who wants something more grounded than the usual tourist dinner.
One practical note: the experience is about 2 hours, which is great for a day that’s already packed. It also means you won’t have a long, slow afternoon with lots of extra stops on your own schedule. Show up ready to eat and enjoy the short, friendly window you get.

Meeting La Vigna degli dei at the San Lazzaro Farmhouse
Your day starts at Via Castello, 3, 80051 San Lazzaro NA, and it ends back at the same meeting point. That matters more than it sounds. In this area, transportation can be fiddly, and returning you to where you started keeps things simple.
The tour itself includes a farmhouse introduction at La Vigna degli dei for about 30 minutes. Think of it as a guided welcome to the setting: you’re shown the family farmhouse and the working reality behind the meal. It’s not framed as a long walking tour, so it’s a good fit if you want to avoid steep climbs or a full-day excursion.
The experience is also designed to be easy to manage. It’s offered in English, you’ll have a tour host/escort, and you get a mobile ticket. There’s even a note that it’s near public transportation, which is helpful if you’re traveling without a private driver.
If you’re traveling with kids, the information says children must be accompanied by an adult. If anyone in your group relies on a service animal, service animals are allowed.
Organic Food and Wine Tasting, Served Like a Home Meal
What you’re really paying for is a hosted meal built around traditional organic food and wine. The package includes wine tasting, bottled water, and coffee and/or tea, so you don’t need to add extras or negotiate drink costs at the table. That’s a real value factor, especially on the Amalfi Coast, where “small add-ons” can add up fast.
The tone matters here. Pasquale and Rosanna are highlighted for cooking delicious food with warmth, and that kind of hospitality changes how a meal lands. If you’ve ever sat through a dinner where you can tell the staff is counting minutes, you’ll appreciate how this one is described: friendly, welcoming, and focused on making you feel included.
There’s also an extra little perk that stands out in the story around this experience. After dinner, Pasquale took one group up the road to a lookout point that overlooks Sorrento. Even if you’re expecting only the meal, that kind of personal touch is the sort of thing that turns a planned activity into a memory.
A quick practical tip: if you have dietary needs, you should plan to say so at booking. The experience specifically asks you to advise any dietary requirements, and it also offers a vegetarian option if you request it.
Lunch or Dinner Slots: How the Timing Shapes the 2 Hours
This experience runs during two daily windows:
- 1:00 PM–3:00 PM (Monday–Sunday)
- 7:30 PM–9:00 PM (Monday–Sunday)
Opening hours run across a long season window listed as 01/15/2023 to 01/31/2027, so it’s not a one-month-only thing. Either way, the schedule is built around meal time. That’s important because it tells you how to plan your day in Positano.
If you book the midday slot, you’ll treat it like your main lunch stop—ideal if you want a later evening free for wandering and views. If you book the evening slot, it functions like a dinner anchor, so you can build your night around it instead of squeezing in a last-minute restaurant reservation.
Either slot should keep you within the stated approx. 2 hours, plus the initial farmhouse visit. Since the experience ends back at the meeting point, you’ll also know exactly where you’ll be when you’re done—handy for getting back to where you’re staying.
What a 3-Course Meal Means Here (and What to Expect)
The inclusion list is straightforward: a 3-course dinner and a 3-course lunch, along with the drink and comfort items (wine tasting, bottled water, coffee and/or tea). Because the experience has two service windows, you should expect that the 3 courses align with the time you choose—midday equals lunch; evening equals dinner.
Here’s why that structure is valuable for your trip. A 3-course meal lets you taste more than one thing without playing the “what do we order” game. You also avoid the common trap of getting full from one dish and then leaving hungry for dessert and wine. The pacing is built in.
Now, the quality angle. The food is described as traditional and organic, and the hosts are credited as amazing chefs who cook fresh and delicious meals. That lines up with the farmhouse context: you’re not eating generic “tourist Italy.” You’re eating in a setting meant to support agriculture and traditional cooking.
You’ll also have an escort/host present. That helps if you’re not sure how the meal works or you have questions about what you’re tasting. Since it’s in English, you should be comfortable asking about dishes and the organic angle without language stress.
If you’re the type who likes to take your time, remember: your total time is limited. Eat slowly enough to enjoy, but don’t expect a long, free-form hangout. The best move is to go in with the right pace.

Where the Money Goes: Value at $57.67 for Food, Drink, and Hosting
At $57.67 per person, you’re buying a lot more than a plate. Your price includes:
- Taxes, fees, and handling charges
- Tour escort/host
- Wine tasting
- Coffee and/or tea
- Bottled water
- A 3-course lunch and/or dinner (based on your slot)
- A guided stop that shows you the family farmhouse
That “all-in” feeling is what makes the cost easier to justify. On the Amalfi Coast, meal pricing can swing wildly once you add drinks, service, and extras. Here, the basic meal and tastings are already part of the ticket, so you can budget your day with less guesswork.
It’s also a private experience for your group. Private doesn’t automatically mean fancy chairs and private driver; in this case it mostly means you get the host attention and the experience runs just for you. The practical outcome: fewer coordination hassles and a calmer meal atmosphere.
One other detail that boosts value: a lot of people book this well ahead. The data says it’s typically reserved about 71 days in advance on average, which usually signals demand. If this timing fits your schedule, booking earlier can help you lock in the service window you want.
Practical Positano Tips: Getting There and Knowing What to Ask
Because the meeting point is fixed at Via Castello, 3, you’ll want to plan simple arrival. The tour also notes that it’s near public transportation, which can be useful if you’re moving around the area without a private vehicle. That said, Positano geography can be steep and time-consuming, so allow extra time for walking or transfers.
Bring a simple list for your host:
- Any dietary requirements you have
- Whether you want the vegetarian option
- Any questions about what you’ll be tasting in the wine tasting portion
Also, keep your expectations realistic about duration. Since it’s about 2 hours, you’re not choosing this as a half-day sightseeing replacement. It’s a meal-centered experience with a short guided farmhouse stop. It works best when you treat it like the main event and let the rest of your day be flexible.
Language is handled (English is offered), and the tour is labeled “most travelers can participate.” If you have concerns related to health or mobility, the most responsible move is to ask before booking, but you already have a clear structure and a fixed meeting point.
Who This Experience Suits Best (and Who Might Want a Different Plan)
This is a strong fit if you want:
- A family-run setting instead of a crowded restaurant dinner
- Organic food and wine as the theme
- A host-led experience with an English-speaking escort
- A clear plan: farmhouse visit + wine tasting + 3-course meal
It may be less ideal if you’re looking for a long activity with lots of stops. The total time is short, and the itinerary focus is food, wine, and a quick farmhouse introduction. Also, if your schedule is very tight, the two fixed windows (early afternoon vs evening) matter, so you’ll need to align your day around them.
If you’re traveling as a couple, this can feel especially intimate because it’s private for your group. If you’re traveling with friends, it’s also a good way to keep everyone together and off your feet for a while. For families, children are welcome with an adult, and for pet owners, service animals are allowed.
Should You Book La Vigna degli dei in Positano?
I think it’s an easy yes if you want a true meal experience with organic food, wine tasting, and a warm family atmosphere. The best signs are practical: price includes the main meal and tastings, the meeting point is clear, and the hosts (Pasquale and Rosanna) are repeatedly described as welcoming and caring in the way they cook and serve.
Book it if you can match one of the two time slots and you’re excited to spend your time eating rather than running between sights. Skip it (or look for an alternative) if you need a longer day of sightseeing or you’re only interested in quick snacks.
If your goal is a memorable Italian dinner that feels personal, this one is built for that.
