REVIEW · FOOD AND DRINK TOURS IN POSITANO
Dine in our Family run Farmhouse – Traditional organic Food & Wine
The best part of this experience is the chance to eat at La Vigna degli dei, a family farmhouse where Pasquale and Rosanna cook and host the meal themselves. This is not a quick restaurant stop. It is a small, private gathering built around homemade food, organic wine, and conversation.
I like the three-course meal and the fact that wine, water, coffee, and tea are included. I also like the personal touch: Pasquale has taken diners to a nearby lookout with views toward Sorrento after dinner. The main thing to consider is the meeting point in San Lazzaro, not Positano town itself, so you need to plan your own way there.
Key points
- Family-run farmhouse: Pasquale and Rosanna prepare and serve the meal themselves.
- Three-course lunch or dinner: Choose an afternoon meal from 1 to 3 PM or an evening meal from 7:30 to 9 PM.
- Organic wine tasting: Wine is part of the meal, along with bottled water, coffee, and tea.
- Private setting: Only your own group takes part, which makes the visit more personal.
- Vegetarian option: Request it when booking, along with any other dietary needs.
- Meeting point matters: The experience begins and ends at Via Castello 3 in San Lazzaro.
A Family Meal at La Vigna degli dei

This experience is about food, but the food is only half the story. You are welcomed into a family farmhouse and served a three-course lunch or dinner by the people who run it. That changes the tone from a standard restaurant meal to something more personal.
Pasquale and Rosanna are the hosts and cooks. Their role matters. You are not simply handed a plate by a large service team. The meal comes with the feeling of being hosted by the family behind the food and wine.
The setting is La Vigna degli dei, located at Via Castello 3 in San Lazzaro. The supplied schedule allows two daily choices: lunch from 1 to 3 PM or dinner from 7:30 to 9 PM. The total activity lasts about two hours, so you can fit it into a day without giving up an entire afternoon or evening.
The listed itinerary includes a 30-minute visit to the family farmhouse. The meal itself makes up the rest of the experience. Since the activity begins and ends at the same meeting point, you should treat it as a self-contained visit rather than a sightseeing tour with transportation between several locations.

What You Eat and Drink
The meal is a three-course lunch or dinner. The exact dishes are not specified, so you should not book this expecting a particular pasta, meat, dessert, or regional specialty. Instead, think of the appeal as a home-style meal built around what the family serves that day.
The organic focus is one of the strongest reasons to book. You get to taste the family’s wine during the meal, rather than paying separately for a formal tasting flight. Bottled water, coffee, and tea are also included. That makes the price easier to understand, especially if you normally add drinks to a restaurant bill.
I like this setup because it keeps the meal simple. You are not paying only for a plate of food. You are paying for the cooking, the hosting, the farmhouse setting, and the chance to taste wine connected to the family operation.
Dietary needs should be given when you book. A vegetarian option is available, but it is not something to arrange at the last minute. The same advice applies to any specific dietary requirement. The information provided does not list other special menus, so contact the provider through the booking process if you need something beyond vegetarian food.
Meeting Pasquale and Rosanna in San Lazzaro
The meeting point is Via Castello 3, 80051 San Lazzaro, Italy. The experience ends at this same point. This detail deserves attention because the product is often associated with Positano, while the actual address is in San Lazzaro.
I would check the route before booking, especially if you are building this meal into a busy Positano day. Private transportation is not included. You are responsible for reaching the meeting point and returning from it afterward.
The experience is offered in English, which keeps the arrangements straightforward for English-speaking visitors. A tour escort or host is included, but the listing does not describe a separate walking guide or sightseeing commentary. Expect the hosts to focus on the farmhouse, food, wine, and meal rather than a broad tour of the Amalfi Coast.
The private format is useful here. Only your group participates, so you do not have to share a family meal with a large busload of people. It can also make it easier to discuss food preferences and ask questions directly.
Lunch at 1 PM or Dinner at 7:30 PM

You can choose between an afternoon booking from 1 to 3 PM and an evening booking from 7:30 to 9 PM. Both options last about two hours.
The lunch time works well if you want a substantial pause during the day. You can take your time with three courses, wine, and conversation, then continue with other plans. It is also the safer choice if you prefer to avoid arranging transport late in the evening.
Dinner has a different mood. The later time gives the meal a more relaxed feel, and Pasquale has taken diners to a lookout point after dinner that overlooks Sorrento. That extra stop is a memorable possibility, but it is not clearly listed as a guaranteed part of every booking, so I would not treat it as the central reason to reserve.
The two-hour length is practical. You get enough time for a full meal without committing to a half-day excursion. At the same time, this is not the right choice if you want a quick bite before a scheduled ferry, train, or evening performance. A three-course meal with wine should be given its full time.

Why the Private Format Matters
Private does not mean private transportation. It means only your own group takes part in the activity. Transportation to and from San Lazzaro is not included.
That distinction is important. The private format gives you a quieter setting and more direct attention from Pasquale and Rosanna, but it does not solve the question of how to reach the farmhouse. You need to handle that part yourself.
I see the private setup as a good fit for couples, families, and small groups who want a more personal meal. It is also helpful for anyone who dislikes fixed group tours with a microphone, a strict walking pace, or a crowded dining room.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. The activity is near public transportation, but the supplied information does not specify the exact service, route, or frequency, so check current local connections before setting out.
The Personal Touch: Food, Conversation, and a View
The warm hosting is the part that gives this meal its character. Pasquale and Rosanna cook and serve the food, creating a direct connection between the people at the table and the people running the farmhouse.
One particularly nice detail comes from the dinner experience. After the meal, Pasquale took diners up the road to a lookout point overlooking Sorrento. That is the kind of small gesture that can turn a good meal into a memorable evening.
I would keep expectations sensible. The main activity is the farmhouse meal. The lookout is an extra personal touch described by someone who took part, not a separately timed sightseeing stop in the published schedule. If that view is important to you, ask about it when arranging your visit.
The experience also suits people who value conversation as much as food. You will have time to ask about the farmhouse, the organic wine, and the meal. Since the group is private, the setting should feel more like a hosted visit than a standard restaurant reservation.
Is the $57.67 Price Good Value?
At $57.67 per person, the price includes a three-course lunch or dinner, wine tasting, bottled water, coffee or tea, the host, and all taxes and handling charges. That is a fair package if you want a complete meal with drinks and a personal setting.
The value is strongest when you count the meal and hosting together. A three-course dinner with wine can quickly approach this cost at a restaurant, especially in the Positano area. Here, the price also covers the family farmhouse setting and the private nature of the visit.
The value is less clear if you are mainly looking for a wine tasting. This is not presented as a short tasting with several technical pours. It is a full meal with wine included. If you want a formal winery tour or a detailed lesson in wine production, the information does not promise that.
You should also budget for your own transportation because private transportation is excluded. That extra cost may be small or significant depending on where you are staying and how you reach San Lazzaro. Include it when comparing this with a restaurant closer to your hotel.
The activity is often booked well ahead, with an average of 71 days in advance. That suggests you should reserve early if your schedule is fixed, particularly if you need a vegetarian meal or have a specific dining time in mind.
Who Will Enjoy This Most
I would recommend this experience to you if you want an authentic meal hosted by a local family rather than a large organized tour. It suits couples and small groups who value personal attention, organic ingredients, and a slower meal.
It is also a good choice for food-focused visitors who want more than a restaurant table. You get a look at the family farmhouse, a three-course meal, wine, and the chance to speak with the people preparing the food.
Families can book it as long as children are accompanied by an adult. Vegetarians can also take part if they request the appropriate meal in advance.
This may not suit you if you need a very flexible schedule, want private transport, or are looking for a full-day tour of Positano and the Amalfi Coast. The activity stays centered on the farmhouse and meal. You will need to arrange your own transport and make your own sightseeing plans around it.
Booking Details That Matter
Confirmation is received at the time of booking. The activity is available daily during the stated operating period, from January 15, 2023, through January 31, 2027, with lunch and dinner times listed each day.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not refunded, and changes within that final 24-hour period are not accepted.
I would provide dietary details as soon as you book. Vegetarian meals are available, but the host needs notice. Also remember that the meeting point and end point are the same, and transportation is not part of the price.
Should You Book This Farmhouse Meal?
Book it if you want a private, family-hosted meal with organic wine and a personal connection to the people cooking. The three-course format, included drinks, and possible Sorrento lookout make it a strong choice for a relaxed afternoon or evening.
Before booking, confirm that San Lazzaro works with your plans and that you are comfortable arranging your own transport. If you want a formal wine lesson, a broad sightseeing tour, or a quick meal, choose something else.
For the right person, this is a valuable way to slow down and enjoy the human side of Italian food. Pasquale and Rosanna provide the welcome, while the farmhouse, meal, and wine give you a focused two-hour experience away from the standard restaurant routine.
