Dine in our Family run Farmhouse – Traditional organic Food & Wine
Pasquale and Rosanna turn a simple farmhouse meal into a personal Italian welcome. At La Vigna degli dei, you sit down for a three-course lunch or dinner, taste organic wine, and enjoy food prepared by the family who hosts you.
I like the private setting and the generous three-course meal, especially because bottled water, coffee or tea, and wine tasting are included. I also like the chance to meet Pasquale and Rosanna directly rather than eating in a busy restaurant. The main consideration is the meeting point in San Lazzaro, not central Positano, and private transportation is not included.
Key points to know before booking

- Pasquale and Rosanna host the meal: You will meet the family behind the farmhouse and dine in a private group rather than with a large mixed crowd.
- A full three-course meal is included: The price covers lunch or dinner, plus wine tasting, bottled water, and coffee or tea.
- Organic food and wine are the focus: This is a farm-based food experience, not a sightseeing tour with a meal added at the end.
- The farmhouse visit is in San Lazzaro: The meeting point is Via Castello 3, 80051 San Lazzaro NA, so check your route before booking.
- Choose lunch or dinner: Sessions are offered from 1:00 to 3:00 PM and from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.
- Dietary needs must be shared in advance: A vegetarian option is available, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
A family meal in the hills above Positano
This experience is built around a family table, not a long sightseeing schedule. La Vigna degli dei welcomes you to its farmhouse for a meal made with organic ingredients and paired with wine from the property or family operation.
That focus matters. Many food activities in the Positano area take place in polished restaurants designed for a steady flow of diners. Here, the draw is the connection with Pasquale and Rosanna. They serve as your hosts and chefs, so the meal has a more personal feel.
I would choose this experience when I wanted an evening that slowed down a little. You are not racing between several stops or trying to fit a cooking lesson, a winery visit, and a dinner into one packed program. You arrive, see the family farmhouse, and sit down to eat.
The published duration is about two hours. The farmhouse visit itself is listed as 30 minutes, with the remaining time allowing for the three-course meal and drinks. That makes the timing easy to fit into a day, though you should not expect a full farm tour or a long guided walk.

Meeting Pasquale and Rosanna at La Vigna degli dei
The people are a major part of the experience. Pasquale and Rosanna welcome you as hosts and chefs, giving the meal a family-run character that you will not get from a standard restaurant reservation.
The setting is La Vigna degli dei, reached at Via Castello 3 in San Lazzaro. The address is important because San Lazzaro is a separate place from the center of Positano. The experience is marketed for the Positano area, but you need to plan your own way to the meeting point.
Private transportation is not included. That is the clearest practical drawback. If you are staying in Positano, ask your accommodation or local transport provider about the best way to reach San Lazzaro before reserving. The supplied information confirms that the meeting point is near public transportation, but it does not provide a dedicated transfer.
The activity ends back at the meeting point. This is useful to know when planning a dinner session. You are responsible for getting there and returning afterward, so allow time for the journey and check local transport schedules.
The 30-minute farmhouse visit

The first listed part of the experience is a 30-minute visit to the family farmhouse. This gives you a look at the place behind the meal and helps set the tone before you sit down to eat.
Do not book this expecting a full agricultural tour. The available details describe the farmhouse visit in broad terms, without promising a detailed explanation of crops, wine production, or farm equipment. I would treat it as an introduction to the family setting rather than a formal estate tour.
That shorter visit may suit you if food is your main reason for booking. You get enough time to see where the experience takes place, then move on to the meal. If you want a long winery program or a hands-on cooking class, this is not presented as that kind of activity.
The farmhouse matters because it gives context to the food. You are not simply ordering dishes from a menu in town. You are eating in a place connected to the people preparing the meal, with organic ingredients and wine at the center of the experience.
What arrives at the three-course table
The meal is described as a three-course lunch or a three-course dinner. The exact dishes are not specified, so I would not book with a particular pasta, dessert, or regional recipe in mind.
That lack of a fixed menu can be part of the appeal. A family kitchen may serve what is available and suitable for the day, rather than presenting a long restaurant menu. At the same time, anyone with strong food preferences should ask questions when booking and provide dietary information in advance.
The experience includes wine tasting, bottled water, and coffee or tea. Since wine is part of the farmhouse identity, it is not merely an optional extra that you need to purchase separately. The meal and drinks are included in the advertised price of $57.67 per person.
A three-course meal with wine tasting can be good value in the Positano area, where dining prices can add up quickly. The value is strongest if you want a complete meal and a hosted experience. It is less compelling if you only want a quick tasting or a simple plate of food.
The most important point is that this is a meal with social contact built in. You are paying for the food, but also for the time with Pasquale and Rosanna and for access to a family farmhouse setting.

Organic wine and a slower pace
Organic food and wine are central to the way this experience is presented. The wine tasting gives you a chance to try the farmhouse offering alongside the meal, rather than treating wine as an afterthought.
The available details do not specify the number of wines, grape varieties, or serving sizes. I would therefore think of this as a meal with a wine tasting, not as a formal technical tasting led by a sommelier. If you care about wine details, ask the hosts what will be served on your date.
I like the balance here. You can enjoy the wine without having to devote an entire afternoon to a vineyard program. The roughly two-hour schedule keeps the experience compact, while the private format gives the meal room to feel relaxed.
Alcohol may not suit everyone in your group. Bottled water is included, and coffee or tea are also provided, so non-drinkers still have something included with the meal. If you have special dietary needs, tell the host at the time of booking rather than waiting until you arrive.
Why the private format matters
This is a private tour or activity, meaning only your group participates. That changes the feel of the meal. You are not being seated with a large bus group or asked to keep pace with strangers.
For couples, families, and small groups, the private setup can make conversation easier. It also gives you a more direct chance to ask Pasquale and Rosanna about the food, the farmhouse, and the local way of eating.
The private format does not mean you should expect a custom menu or a fully tailored farm program. The stated inclusions remain the same: a three-course meal, wine tasting, water, and coffee or tea. Still, the smaller setting is a real part of the value.
Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The experience is offered in English, which makes it practical for English-speaking visitors who want to communicate directly with the hosts.
Lunch or dinner: choosing the better time
You can book an afternoon session from 1:00 to 3:00 PM or an evening session from 7:30 to 9:00 PM. The best choice depends on how you are arranging the rest of your day around Positano and San Lazzaro.
Lunch works well if you want the evening free. It also avoids arranging transport after dinner, which may be useful since private transportation is not included. You can make the meal the center of your afternoon and continue with other plans afterward.
Dinner has a more intimate feel, especially for a couple or a small private group. But I would plan the return journey before booking the evening slot. The activity ends at the farmhouse meeting point, and you should not assume that a transfer back to your accommodation is part of the package.
The schedule is fixed enough to help with planning, but the meal itself should not be treated like a quick restaurant stop. Allow time to arrive at the correct address and settle in. The experience is at its best when you are not watching the clock.
Price, value, and what is not included
At $57.67 per person, the price covers a complete three-course lunch or dinner, wine tasting, bottled water, coffee or tea, a host, and all taxes and handling charges. That is a fair package for someone who wants both a meal and a personal food experience.
The value depends on how much you care about the setting and the host interaction. If you compare it only with the cost of a basic meal, you may find cheaper choices. If you compare it with a private dining experience that includes several courses and wine, the price becomes more attractive.
Transportation is the main extra to budget for. No private transportation is included, even though the meeting point is near public transportation. Check the route from your accommodation before you commit, especially for the evening session.
There are also no listed promises of a cooking lesson, a long vineyard walk, or a detailed wine lecture. I would choose this for its hosted farmhouse meal, not for activities that are not part of the stated program.
Who will enjoy this experience most
I would recommend this meal to you if you value personal contact over a busy schedule. It suits couples, families, and small private groups who want to eat with local hosts and try organic food and wine in a family setting.
It is also a good choice if you want an included meal with clear timing. The activity lasts about two hours, and you do not need to organize separate reservations for wine, coffee, or dessert-style final drinks.
Families should note that children must remain with an adult. Vegetarian diners can be accommodated, but the request must be made at booking. Anyone with allergies or other food restrictions should also provide those details ahead of time.
You may want to choose another experience if you need door-to-door transport, a formal cooking lesson, or an exact menu. The food style is described broadly, and the farmhouse visit is brief. Those are not flaws, but they help define what you are buying.
Small details that make the meal memorable
The strongest part of the experience is the warmth of the hosts. Pasquale and Rosanna are repeatedly singled out for making the meal feel like dining with family, and that is the right way to think about this activity.
The meal is also praised for fresh, delicious food and organic wines. Those qualities work together: the farmhouse setting, the family cooking, and the wine tasting create a sense of place without requiring a long program.
One especially nice touch is the possibility of a viewpoint visit after dinner. Pasquale has taken diners up the road to a lookout with a view toward Sorrento. This detail is not described as a guaranteed part of every booking, so you should treat it as an occasional personal gesture, not a promised stop.
That distinction matters. The core experience is the farmhouse visit and three-course meal. Any extra moment with the host, such as a short look at a nearby view, is a welcome bonus rather than something to plan your schedule around.
Booking and cancellation advice
The experience is offered from January 15, 2023, through January 31, 2027, with lunch and dinner sessions available Monday through Sunday. It is often reserved well ahead, with an average booking lead time of 71 days, so popular dates may not remain open close to your trip.
Confirmation is provided at booking. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the experience are not accepted for a refund.
I would provide dietary information as soon as you book, even though a vegetarian option is available. That gives Pasquale and Rosanna the best chance to prepare for your needs.
Should you book this farmhouse meal?
Book it if you want a private, family-run meal with organic food, wine tasting, and direct contact with Pasquale and Rosanna. The three-course format and included drinks make the $57.67 price reasonable, especially when you want more than a standard restaurant dinner.
Think carefully about the location and transport. The meeting point is in San Lazzaro, private transportation is not included, and the activity ends where it begins. If you can manage that practical detail, this is a warm and personal way to spend two hours near Positano, with the food and family welcome doing most of the work.
