Wow! What a fantastic place. While we didn't go at a the time of year to see the lavender in bloom, the landscape was great, the Alpaca especially friendly and the owner was absolutely lovely. Great little shop and after a taste of their gin, just had to grab myself a bottle.

We did the farm tour, it was a great experience. Learned a lot about the different processes that go on here, fed some cute animals and sampled gin. All in all a lovely time!
