Warratina Lavender Farm

Discover Warratina Lavender Farm, a serene haven for lovers of nature and all things lavender.

This family-run farm is located in Wandin North, at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, only an hour's drive from Melbourne. The scenic Yarra Valley provides a stunning backdrop for the farm, and with its doors open all year round, it is the perfect getaway from the busy city life.

From November to January, the lavender farm comes to life with a breathtaking showcase of rows of lavender blooms. Take a stroll among the fields and breath in the soothing aromas of the lavender flowers before they get harvested. The visual and olfactory experience is one that cannot be missed during these months. In January/February, you can witness the harvested crops hanging to dry in the drying sheds, adding to the farm's charm.

The farm also provides year-round entertainment, including seasonal events like Easter Egg Hunts and specialized markets and exhibitions in Autumn and Winter. It's an ideal setting to capture that perfect family photo or observe the peacefulness of the surroundings. To complete your visit, head over to the tea room and indulge in some delicious and wholesome regional fare. Choose from a late breakfast, lunch, or morning/afternoon tea, all made on the premises with fresh and local ingredients.
