Travel Guide

The cafe at Lavandula Swiss-Italian Lavender Farm near Hepburn Springs, Victoria takes the humble 'Ploughman's Lunch' to the next level. Plenty of other delicious choices on the menu too. All appear to be home-made.

Lavendula Swiss-Italian Lavender farm presents the visitor with a particularly mellow day out. Head for Daylesford, Victoria and then meander through Hepburn Springs to find it. Highlights include - - a farmhouse created by Swiss-Itailian migrants in 1851; - a gourmet cafe using produce from the farm's market garden; - gentle walks and farm animals (no wellies required) - fields of sweet smelling lavender One visit had us hooked. We shall return the next time we have overseas visitors to stay. http://www.lavandula.com.au/
