While touring the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Artisan Trail I made a stop at White Oak Lavender and fell in love at first sight, taste, and smell! This charming family-owned farm on the outskirts of Harrisonburg, Virginia is such a fun and unique attraction that even though I included it in an earlier post, I wanted to dedicate a little more time to this fragrant destination in the Shenandoah Valley.
Here are just five reasons you’ll fall in love with lavender at White Oak Lavender.
#1 Stunning Scenery
#2 Discovery, U-Pick, and Education
#3 Shopping at White Oak Lavender
<Shopping at White Oak is unlike any gift shop experience I’ve had. It’s educational and it’s ALL lavender! It’s fun discovering the goodies at White Oak’s Lavender Shop; bottled water, soaps, lotions, essential oils, teas, jams, and culinary lavender. The list of products is extensive. You may want to pick up a lavender scented stress ball to soothe you through the decision making process.
Once you fall in love with the merchandise you may need more!
White Oak Lavender’s got you covered. They offer wholesale and online shopping in addition to the Lavender Shop. I brought home a bag of their lavender-infused coffee and enjoy savoring a calming cup on weekend mornings. No doubt, I’ll be placing another order soon!
#4 Wine
What happens when you pair lavender with wine?
You get a Purple WOLF! (W-White, O-Oak, L-Lavender, F-Farm)
Grapes and lavender grown on the farm are blended to craft their award-winning Purple WOLF wines. Amble through the vineyards and take time to sample the varietals. Current Purple Wolf Wines include Viognier; Traminette; Riesling; Imperial Gem; Butterfly Kisses; Chambourcin; Pardon My Purple, and Cabernet Franc. A sampling is just $10. Sit back and relax with a glass of wine and a cheese tray as you enjoy the scenery.
