Seasonal Closure

The farm will be closed to visitors from Saturday August 16th–December 26th 2025, with the exception of the Swiss Italian Festa on the Sat 25 & Sun 26 October.

During this annual seasonal closure our farm will enjoy upgrades to it's infrastructure to support future visitation, and the return of large events and festivals. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Sat 25 & Sun 26 Oct, 10am–4pm

Lavandula is thrilled to once again take part in the Swiss Italian Festa!

This iconic regional celebration of heritage, food and culture is not to be missed!

Join us for live music all weekend, a special performance by an Italian choir on Sunday, and all the Festa favourites — wood-fired pizza, bullboar sausage sizzle, an Italian spritz bar, and our much-loved gelati cart.

Our regular gate fee of $5 for adults and $1 for children will be charged and donated back to the Festa committee.

We can’t wait to see our beautiful community back on premises for one special weekend until we officially re-open.

Lavandula is a working farm, historic property, and family-friendly destination tucked in the hills of Daylesford.

For over 30 years, we’ve been sharing the beauty of our gardens, food, lavender paddocks, and old stone buildings with locals and visitors alike.

We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Lavandula stands. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise the ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, culture, and community.
