Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm

You can disappear into a dreamy world of purple haze and super-relaxing aromas at Lavandula. This extraordinary lavender farm is like a scene straight out of the south of France with 1850s-style stone buildings, floral archways, stone pathways and sweeping views of the surrounding ranges.

Depending on when you visit, the best of the season will be on show — think the amber tones of autumn and a floral sea throughout spring and summer. On top of the lavender fields, there are flourishing veggie and herb gardens, which provide produce for the onsite cafe. Grab an antipasti board, woodfired pizza or house-made scones to enjoy with lavender cordial or honey in the garden. Afterwards, poke your head into the barn that houses a gift shop peddling essential oils, beauty products and more.
