Ten minutes North of Daylesford, Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm is an iconic property nestled among the rolling hills of Shepherds Flat. The 100 acre property was once farmed by Swiss-Italians, who came to Australia in the 1850s looking for new opportu ...
The farm was originally operated by a Swiss-Italian family, who came here in search of gold but stayed to farm. The Tinetti's ran their dairy farm from 1860 until about 1975. In the late 1980s, Carol White restored the crumbling buildings and planted out European-style gardens.
Every day at 12 noon, 2 pm and 4 pm there are free tours of the original stone farmhouse.
From late December, the lavender begins to flower and throughout January we hand-harvest the crop. From the field, the lavender is hung to dry for use as bunches or winnowed for its precious flowers and seeds for potpourri. Lavender is distilled for its floral water and essential oil. We make a wide range of lavender products right here on the farm.
Our gift shop carries a huge range of products made right here on the farm from lavender hand creams to lavender room mists. You can be assured of the finest quality because the raw materials come straight from our own fields to be processed. You can either visit us or go to our online shop.
Eat outdoors under the ash trees, in the snug timber room or in the stone loggia.
The style is based on the grotto of Ticino (in southern Switzerland, a simple local caf serving an antipasto platter and local wine). The menu is seasonal and explores European cuisine. You can have frittata, soup, or a full meal.
We make our own scones, biscuits, cakes, and preserves. Or you can purchase Lavandula's own lavender cordial or lavender honey.
We're fully licensed and carry a wide selection of local wines, beers and ciders. Why not try our house specialty: lavender champagne.

Autumn brings colour and cooler weather. It's the traditional season for bringing in the harvest. Our festival is a celebration of great food, local stallholders, rural and artisan workshops, great music and entertainment. There will also be activities for the kids and tours of the original 1860s stone farmhouse. We're a 100-acre farm with plenty of space to roam and explore. It really is a great day for the whole family.
