Milk the Cow & Make Mozzarella and Gnocchi with Our Family

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves at La Vigna degli Dei, a working farm perched above the Amalfi Coast, where you'll milk a cow, transform that fresh milk into Fior di Latte mozzarella, shape gnocchi by hand, and craft tiramisù from scratch. Over two and a half hours, you'll move between barn and kitchen, learning how Rosanna and Pasquale make their living from the land—then sit down to eat what you've made, paired with their own organic wine. No farming experience required; just show up ready to get your hands dirty.

What to expect

Start with a stroll around the property to meet the livestock and understand how the farm operates. You'll then move to the barn for a guided milking lesson—straightforward, even for first-timers. That milk becomes your mozzarella. In the kitchen, you'll watch Rosanna guide you through stretching and shaping curds while the cheese sets. Once that's done, you'll move on to rolling out gnocchi dough and cutting it into pillows. Between tasks, there's a wine-cellar visit and a tasting of Pasquale's organic production. You'll finish by assembling tiramisù—either the traditional cocoa-dusted version or a zesty lemon variation made with homemade limoncello. Finally, everything lands on the table in front of you.
