Are dogs welcome?
We are dog-friendly and love welcoming your furry companions! Leashed dogs are welcome in our Tasting Room, Lavender Shop, front gardens, and Tasting Room seating areas. For the safety of our farm animals and guests, pets are not permitted in the Discovery Area.
Water bowls are available around the Tasting Room seating areas for you to fill and help keep your pet hydrated. If your dog tends to bark frequently or may nip, please keep them outdoors and safely away from other guests and animals.
Trained service animals are welcome in accordance with applicable law. Because the
Discovery Area includes farm animals, please speak with a staff member at
check-in so we can help support a safe visit.
