5.00Friendly workshop; the person in charge added his personal and friendly touch to the family estate. You can tell he is a passionate person who wants to share a bit of his local heritage. After the harvest, we enjoyed a snack with local products (a plus for people from other regions). I recommend it with my eyes closed.

4.00Very interesting tour of all things lavender. Very friendly staff and willing to help educate you on lavender from start to finish. Interesting facts that there are three types of lavender that lend to different strengths in perfume.
A beautiful sharing

5.00I am from the area and yet I did not know this place so close to home. Super interesting and educational visit with a touch of humor with our dear guide who is no more or less than the boss who developed his family's Enterprise. So he talks about it with love and passion.
