White Oak Lavender Brewery

You’re probably already a fan of family-owned White Oak Lavender Farm for its relaxing atmosphere, lavender products, and wine in the Purple Wolf tasting room. But the farm is also brewing a variety of beers. Several feature subtle notes of lavender, including the Lavender Lemongrass Blonde Ale and Lavandé Lager. Enjoy a beer or wine tasting and a dish of lavender ice cream. If you want to take some lavender products home, you’ll find a gift shop stocked with great-smelling items like essential oils, candles, bath products, jellies, jams, and other good things to eat. Kids with you? Come to the farm on a Friday or Saturday for the small animal experience, or on a Monday for a chance to meet and groom the horses. The farm often hosts live music, wreath-making classes, and several festivals throughout the year. When lavender is in bloom, visitors can sign up for a U-Pick experience to harvest incredible-smelling flowers.
