The fragrant harvest is coming in and we'll teach you how to successfully preserve it!

Everyone goes home with a large bundle of fresh Roberts Ranch lavender, a bottle of dried culinary lavender, lavender lemon cookies and lots of ideas! This is a fun workshop for all (and there will be snacks & drinks for those under 21) Perfect gift idea for Mothers Day or other special occasions! The Cottage kitchen will prepare some summer bites celebrating culinary lavender and our new 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir and 2023 Sauvignon Blanc will be the featured wines.
