Lavandula
Lavandula is a little taste of Europe. Established in the 1860s, this Swiss Italian Farm is simply beautiful. The stone farmhouse buildings cluster around a cobbled courtyard, surrounded by a beautiful garden, lavender fields, the creek and distant hills. Each season Lavandula has a special festival day to showcase garden produce, rural skills, regional wines and foods, and acoustic music.
