2026 Southern Oregon Lavender Festival Weekends June 19 – 21 and July 10 – 12 (9am – 4pm)
Experience lavender season at its most luxurious. While many farms on the trail welcome guests throughout the summer, our two signature Lavender Festival Weekends—one in June and one in July—are the pinnacle of the season. These weekends are timed for peak bloom, when the fields are lush, fragrant, and glowing with color against the backdrop of Southern Oregon’s celebrated wine country.
The Southern Oregon Lavender Festival is a self-guided tour of six exceptional lavender estates. Most guests savor the full experience over one or two leisurely days, pairing their visits with scenic drives, vineyard stops, and the relaxed elegance the region is known for. Use our map to plan your route, and please note that Applegate River Farm will not be open for the June Festival weekend this year.
Lavender takes center stage, offering unforgettable photo moments and serene sensory experiences—but the festivals elevate each destination into a curated celebration.
Expect:
- Premium lavender plants and farm-crafted lavender products
- U-pick lavender fields
- Exclusive festival-only tastings, workshops, and demonstrations
- Gourmet food and beverage vendors, sometimes featuring local wine & cider pairings
- Kids activities
- Live music, artisan markets, and boutique shopping
- Hands-on lavender experiences designed to delight and inspire
Each farm curates its own lineup, making every stop a fresh discovery. To experience the full richness of the season, visit all six lavender farms and the Demonstration Garden and follow their social channels for festival announcements and special reveals.
While all farms on the Southern Oregon Trail gladly welcome dogs outside of Festival Weekends, we please ask you to leave your pups at home during the Lavender Festivals.
The Story Behind the Lavender Trail
Southern Oregon’s Mediterranean-like climate has always been ideal for lavender—warm days, cool nights, and dry summers that mirror the great lavender-growing regions of Europe. Yet until the early 2010s, lavender wasn’t cultivated here on a true farming scale.
Then, almost simultaneously, six lavender farms emerged in the Applegate Valley. When the owners met in 2013, they recognized a shared opportunity: by collaborating, they could create a more immersive, meaningful, and elevated lavender experience—one that celebrated the land, supported each farm, and invited visitors into a world of beauty and craftsmanship.
From that vision, the Southern Oregon Lavender Trail was born. Over time, some founding farms have passed the torch while new growers have joined the collective. Today, a dedicated group of six family-run lavender estates continues the tradition, welcoming guests each summer to their own luxurious slice of lavender-and-wine-country heaven.
