Vintage lavender is associated with charm and sweet fragrance. Today, people cook with lavender and associate the lovely scent of lavender with deep relaxation. Just a small sniff of lavender helps people breath in deeply and exhale with a satisfied, “Ahhh.” Lee and Karen Duquette took a bit of time to enjoy the grounds and the lavender.

After exploring the entry and taking the above photos, it was time for Lee and Karen Duquette to enter The Lavender Gift Shop. They encountered many forms of lavender. For relaxation, there was dream pillows, stress balls, massage oils and bath and body luxuries. Karen Duquette did buy several items.

For culinary purposes there was spices, teas, vinaigrette, jams, jellies and ice cream. (The Lavender ice cream did not have much taste at all).

The gift shop also sold culinary lavender by the tin and offered recipe cards so that anyone can create their own tasty dishes. To experience lavender, they also offer beautiful lavender gardens for U-Pick, classes, tours and delightful picnics! None of which were of interest to the two RV Gypsies.

The Tasting Room opens at 10 a.m. with portable tastings, wine and beer flights, wine and beer by the glass, wine by the bottle and wine slushies! The current wine list included white wines: Viognier, Riesling; Traminette; Imperial Gem; Dragonfly; Thumbelina and reds wines: Butterfly Kisses (Rose); Petit Verdot; Chambourcin; Pardon My Purple, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Royale Velvet (Port Style)!

They also offered two Sparkling wines! Guests are welcome to bring in some snacks. But cheese and crackers are available for purchase to enjoy with your wine.

While sitting outside, Karen Duquette enjoyed some wines samples that she purchased while seated at the purple chairs and farm tables! But truthfully, she did not like any of them enough to buy the bottles, and these samples were small and costly. But she did like the fact that nobody sat with her explaining the samples, as has been the case at some of the other wineries.
