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.
