Vivaio Ruoppo - Sorrento Lemon Farm in Sorrento, open May–August.
Guests arrive through the gates of a working lemon farm perched above the Amalfi Coast, where terraced groves and sea views create an immediate sense of arrival in Italy's most storied landscape.
The property's vintage stone architecture and sprawling citrus gardens provide genuine photo moments—no artifice required.
Your ceremony unfolds among the trees themselves, while receptions take place in restored farm buildings with 19th-century character and modern amenities.
By far the best experience my family and I had during our time in Sorrento, Italy. The hospitality was truly top notch. The property itself was beautiful—calming, clean, and full of unique charm. The family who runs the farm are some of the warmest and most welcoming people we've ever met. We booked the cooking class and had an exceptional time. It was fun, relaxing, and surprisingly informative. Our two kids loved it so much they asked if we could come back and do it again! The food we made was absolutely delicious, and we got to enjoy it under a shaded area surrounded by lush, green trees. They even have a charming little store filled with authentic local products—homemade marmalades, limoncello, clothing, culinary items, and other beautiful Italian souvenirs. It was the perfect place to pick up meaningful gifts and keepsakes. Honestly, it was a marvelous experience from start to finish, and we can't thank them enough for the memories they helped us create. Highly, highly recommend!
