Lavandula - Swiss Italian Farm

functions

weddings and other functions at Lavandula

 

Set around 1860s golden stone buildings, Lavandula is a beautiful European garden setting for open air functions and memorable weddings. Beside the creek, the garden and lawns stretch under a huge walnut tree.
A special feast can be set in the ash grove or in the stone loggia.

We have a range of options for your special occasion, but we like to create a small informal country festivity; a  simple ceremony and wedding feast in keeping with the atmosphere of this Italianate farm.
