A sense of serenity among the lavender



Just an hour from the Melbourne CBD, Warratina Lavender Farm is the perfect countryside escape for those seeking beauty, tranquillity, and a touch of charm. While the fragrant lavender blooms through the summer months, there is so much more to discover throughout the seasons. The heritage garden is a true highlight, brimming with colourful cottage plants, delicate roses, vibrant azaleas, and impressive staghorns that delight visitors all year round. In early spring, the gardens come alive with a dazzling display of daffodils, painting the landscape in a sea of yellow.

As you wander the grounds, take time to explore the old homestead and immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of the Yarra Valley. The gentle sounds of birdsong add to the sense of serenity, as local birdlife busily build their nests among the trees and gardens.

After your stroll, why not indulge in a delicious Devonshire tea or a hearty lunch in the welcoming Tea Room? It’s the perfect place to relax and soak in the farm’s calming surroundings. Before you leave, be sure to visit our Gift Shop, where you’ll find a wide range of handcrafted lavender products, lovingly made right here at Warratina.

Open Wednesday to Sunday, and most Public Holidays 10am to 4pm, Warratina Lavender Farm is a destination that captures the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of country life. They are also able to open by special request for groups of 15 or more on closed days (Monday and Tuesday). Keep an eye on the website for events at the farm and also monthly specials through our online Shop.
