Let's take a Sunday drive in the country to the Daylesford area, to visit Lavendula Swiss Italian Farm, a large lavender farm and tourist destination famous for its fields of lavender, historic stone buildings and European-style gardens. It offers a cafe, farm produce, and products like soaps and lotions made from its lavender harvest.

Members have the option to take a byo picnic or purchase something from the Post Office Deli and Larder where you can grab a gourmet paninis, sausage rolls, sweet pastries and a barista coffee to enjoy in the gardens or take with you as you explore, or you may like Tinetti's Dairy Barn & Wine Shoppe where you can enjoy a selection of wines, spritzes with local cheeses and classic grazing boards. The choice is up to you.

We will meet at Bourkies Bakery in Woodend for morning tea at 10:00am and leave around 10:30am and arrive around 11:30am at Lavendula where you can explore the grounds and than find a shady spot for a picnic or buy lunch from the cafe.

Entry to Lavendula will be $5.00 per person
