Stroll through 20 acres of lavender in full bloom while tasting lavender-infused food and drinks at the 21st Annual Lavender Festival at 123 Farm in Cherry Valley, California. It’s the perfect Summer event for friends and family.
Running now through July 20, 2025, this enchanting event transforms Southern California's largest organic lavender farm into a sensory wonderland.
It’s not only walking through acres of blooming lavender on a working farm…there are plenty of things to do and see including the distillation demonstration, a winery tour or an educational history tour.
Visit the Sourdough Bread Hall or the Flower Eatery and sign up for the Sip-n-Paint or Perfume Blending workshop.
Shop the lavender-themed marketplace with food and beauty products created from the lavender harvested from the farm. And what would a visit to a working farm be without a tractor ride, live music and a private S’mores Pit?!
🌸 A Blooming Paradise
Organic fields with varieties of lavender including Provence, Vera and Munstead in full bloom until mid-July. The vibrant purple hues and soothing aromas create a picturesque setting perfect for exploration, relaxation and photography.
