Dine in our Family run Farmhouse – Traditional organic Food & Wine
Book on Viator →Operated by La Vigna degli dei · Bookable on Viator
Lunch at an organic farmhouse beats big tours. At La Vigna degli dei, you get traditional organic food and wine from a family-run farmhouse setting just outside Positano, with a host in English and a simple, personal pace. Expect to see the place up close, taste wine, and settle in for a proper 3-course meal without the usual tourist bustle.
I especially love how warm and human the hosts make it. Pasquale and Rosanna turn the meal into something like dining with family, and the wine tasting and course service feel genuinely cared for rather than rushed. The main thing to consider is logistics: private transportation is not included, and the meeting point is at Via Castello, 3, 80051 San Lazzaro NA, so plan how you’ll get there.

La Vigna degli dei: a family farmhouse near Positano
This experience is based around a family farmhouse at La Vigna degli dei. You’re not doing a bus-and-museum day. Instead, you’re heading to a working, family-run place where the focus is food, wine, and hospitality.
The setting matters. Positano is famous for views and crowds, but this is a different flavor of the coast: calmer, more local, and built around an actual farm home. You’ll start and end at the same meeting point (Via Castello, 3, 80051 San Lazzaro NA), so you’re not piecing together multiple drop-offs and pick-ups.
One practical note: private transportation isn’t included. That can be totally fine if you like using local options, but if you’re relying on a driver, you’ll want to arrange that yourself. The good news is it’s near public transportation, so reaching the start point is usually manageable.

Your 2-hour farmhouse meal plan (afternoon or evening)
The total duration is about 2 hours, with a schedule that splits into two windows:
- 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
- 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Within that time, there’s a first stop focused on the farmhouse itself: about 30 minutes to see the property, with admission included. The rest of the time is built around the meal and tastings.
This is also a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That’s a real quality-of-life upgrade. You can ask questions about the food, the wines, or what’s grown, without shouting over other tables.
English is offered, and you’ll have a tour escort/host. That matters because the experience isn’t just eat-and-go. It’s guided in a way that helps you understand what you’re tasting and why the hosts do it their way.
The farmhouse tour: what you’ll actually do
The schedule is simple. You arrive, meet your host, and spend the first stretch at La Vigna degli dei, where they show you the family farmhouse for about 30 minutes.
This is not a long walking tour with a lot of stops. It’s more about context. Even if you don’t know anything about organic farming before you arrive, you’ll have a chance to connect the place to the food you’re about to eat. That connection is what makes the meal feel earned, not generic.
And because the experience is private for your group, you’re less likely to feel like you’re being pushed through on someone else’s timetable.
Wine tasting that stays friendly and food-focused
Wine tasting is included, and I love that it’s paired with a meal rather than treated like a separate event. You’re tasting with your dinner or lunch rhythm in mind, which keeps the whole thing relaxed.
In the reviews, the organic wine gets direct praise, and that tracks with the way the experience is set up: this is a farm-to-table style stop, where the wine is part of the same story as the food. So don’t expect a stiff, lecture-style tasting. Expect more of a conversation—what you like, what they recommend, and how the wine fits with what’s on your plate.
If you’re driving the Amalfi Coast for just a few days, this is a smart way to enjoy local wine without needing a full wine-day itinerary.
3-course lunch or dinner, plus water and coffee
The included meal is a 3-course dinner and a 3-course lunch (depending on the time slot you book). In other words, you’re covered for the session you choose—afternoon or evening—rather than arriving wondering what you’re actually getting.
Beyond the courses, the package includes:
- bottled water
- coffee and/or tea
That’s not a tiny detail. In Italy, it’s common for drinks to vary by package. Here, you’re not piecing together costs mid-meal.
Vegetarian is available, and they ask you to advise when booking. That’s exactly what you want from a family operation: clear communication up front so the kitchen can do the right thing. Also, tell them any specific dietary requirements at the time of booking. If you’re avoiding anything beyond vegetarian—like allergies or medical restrictions—this is where you’ll get the best chance of a smooth meal.
What you can count on is this: you’ll be eating a full sit-down menu, not a snack. For $57.67 per person, the structure matters. You’re not only paying for food—you’re paying for the host’s time, the tastings, and the included meal experience, plus taxes and fees.

Pasquale and Rosanna: the hospitality that makes it feel personal
The stand-out theme in the experience is the human side. Pasquale and Rosanna are named as the hosts, and the tone that comes through is warmth—inviting, attentive, and not overly formal.
That warmth changes how a meal lands. When the hosts are engaged, you slow down. You taste more carefully. You ask questions. And you feel like you’re part of what’s happening instead of watching from the outside.
There’s also a small extra moment people appreciate: Pasquale has been known to take guests up the road to a viewpoint that overlooks Sorrento after the meal. It’s not something you should count on as a guaranteed add-on in every case, but it fits the personality of the place—someone wants you to see something beautiful before you go.
If you want the Amalfi Coast version of a home-cooked dinner, this is the kind of experience that can deliver it.
Price and value: what $57.67 really buys you
Let’s talk value plainly.
At $57.67 per person, you’re getting:
- tour escort/host
- wine tasting
- bottled water
- coffee and/or tea
- a 3-course meal (lunch or dinner depending on the session)
- taxes, fees, and handling charges
- a private setup for just your group
The big practical advantage is that you’re not building your own puzzle of add-ons. Wine, the full meal format, and the experience hosting are bundled.
What’s not included is private transportation. That one item can matter. If you’re already planning to use public transport or you’ll be near the meeting point, the price looks more attractive. If you need to hire a driver, factor that in so you don’t get surprised later.
One more subtle value clue: this experience is typically booked about 71 days in advance on average. That usually means people find it and return for it, not just for a one-time meal. In plain terms: it’s popular for a reason.
Who this experience suits best (and who should skip it)
This is a great match if you:
- want real organic food and wine without a staged tourist vibe
- like short, focused experiences instead of long day tours
- care about eating well and chatting with the people behind the food
- want a private setup for your group
- can handle a meeting point outside central Positano at San Lazzaro NA
It might not be ideal if you:
- need guaranteed pickup or private transportation
- want a big sightseeing program with multiple stops
- only have time for something quick and casual (this is built around a sit-down meal)
It’s also family-friendly in the sense that children can go, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate.
Booking tips that help the meal go smoothly
Because this is a kitchen-and-farm experience, a couple of choices can make your day smoother:
- Send dietary needs when you book. Vegetarian is available, but they ask you to advise ahead of time.
- Pick the time slot that fits your day. The experience runs two windows, afternoon and evening, and the meal style aligns with that.
- Plan your route to the meeting point. Private transportation isn’t included, but it is near public transport.
And if your plans change, cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. That makes it lower stress if you’re juggling your Amalfi Coast schedule.
Should you book La Vigna degli dei in Positano area?
Yes—if you want a true family-style meal and a wine tasting that feels personal. This is the kind of experience that’s hard to reproduce on your own: the hosts’ hospitality, the organic focus, and the fact that you’re treated as part of the evening rather than a number.
I’d pass only if your priority is large-scale sightseeing or if getting to Via Castello, 3, San Lazzaro NA is a hassle you don’t want to solve. Otherwise, it’s a strong value use of time: about 2 hours, a full 3-course meal, wine tasting, and an English-speaking host, all wrapped into a private group experience.
