Lavender Festival Review (2026) My group of three headed to the Lavender festival for the first time this weekend. Many events for the holidays take place at 123 Farms and this summer holds space for the beautiful lavender field and activities! The signs leading to the location were easy to find and you can either purchase your tickets online, or at the gate before you enter the festival. I loved the food, as they really try to incorporate lavender into their items, such as lavender honey, ice cream, pizza, and even a smash burger! Although nothing tasted as strong as I expected, the food was worth a try! I ended up splitting a lot of it with my friends so we could try different things. Our favorite item had to be the pepperoni and ricotta sourdough pizza! It was amazing! I'd pass on the sourdough mini donuts. Some of my first timer tips: The petting zoo ends at 5pm, so make sure to visit early if you plan on going! Go on the tractor ride when it's cooler, as my friends and I were struggling to keep cool on the ride since it's summer. And be prepared to pay for the tractor ride as it is $8 a person. Bring a fan or hat, and sunscreen! I personally don't recommend wearing sandals because there's many dirt areas and fire ants in the lavender fields! All in all, I had such fun filled day here at 123 Farm. They did a really fabulous job with the decorations and food which truly felt like a festival that didn't run you for your money. The gift shop items are definitely pricy. Definitely recommend this festival for your summer plans! read more

Wow what a crazy experience here. A little background - I booked the strawberry picking that 123Farm set up in June. As soon as we got to the parking area none of the staff knew what we were talking about. No one knew if we had parking paid, no one knew where the event was and they didn't know where to send us. I showed them the flyer and they let us park so we went in. We talked to about 5 different employees and then we found the front lobby one directed us to. Once we figured out where we had to go we decided to get some drinks. I went up to the first drink place near the parking lot. Once I got up to order you could tell the cashier was very unhappy. I ordered two alcoholic drinks. She immediately said if I was giving alcohol to someone else I was going to have the cops called on me. I told her no I just wanted to try two drinks. She rang me up and once I picked up my drinks she again said to me, if I see you giving this to one of your little friends you will be escorted out and the police called on me. If someone reads this review it was an older white lady with dreadlocks working the booth. I am 26 years old I don't know what she targeted me for looking young and I didn't have any girlfriends with me. After that experience, I found the farmer that was leading us on the strawberry field picking. She was amazing, you could tell the farmers had a ton of passion with what they did. It was amazing history about the farm and then we all picked fresh strawberries at the end. They also gave us free fresh lemonade. read more

We have been to 123 Farm before, and while it remains a visually stunning place, our recent Saturday visit left us feeling that the event has gotten much more expensive while losing some of its original natural charm and value. The Good: Parking Logistics: The parking lot has been moved closer to the flower fields this year, which is a massive upgrade in convenience compared to previous years. The Atmosphere & Maze: The farm decorations are beautiful, especially the purple cloths hung between the rows of large trees that catch the wind. Our kids also thoroughly enjoyed the Lavender Pallet Maze. It features a fun True/False lavender trivia game inside that kept our son engaged enough to want to do it twice. The Petting Zoo: The animals were quite active (bunnies, a Polish chicken, goats, and a very soft alpaca). It's a nice stop for kids, though parents of timid children should watch out as the little goats can be a bit pushy! The Disappointing: Over-Commercialization: There are massive lighting setups in the flower fields now. It feels like there is too much human intervention, and the lavender didn't look as healthy or vibrant as it did during our first visit. Additionally, most of the fields were already harvested and cut flat. I don't think there will be much of bloom later in the month. Food & Pricing Downgrades: We ordered the Lavender Smash Burger and Lavender Carne Asada Fries. The burger patty was overly salty and the fries lacked crispiness. Two years ago, the specialty drinks (Strawberry Lavender Lemonade and Iced Tea) came with a fresh sprig of lavender. This year, there was no garnish at all. The prices have gone up, but the experience feels stripped down. The "No Water" Policy: The farm is incredibly dry and dusty. Selling lemonade here must be an absolute goldmine because they do not provide water. When my husband went around to the stands to ask for water or extra ice cups, he was told no stand has water, and a cashier literally rolled her eyes at him. Word of advice: Bring plenty of your own water and leave it in the car! The "Free" Kids' Craft: The advertised free craft was a huge letdown. It was just basic coloring pages on postcards with zero staff guidance. The actual interactive crafts require an extra fee, which felt cheap considering the high price of admission. The nearby games were also poorly maintained--the foosball table was so old and broken that it used a ping-pong ball that the soccer men couldn't even hit. Tips for Parents: Check the daily schedule carefully before lounging around! We mistakenly thought crafts started in the evening, but weekend activities actually start at 1:00 PM. Overall, it's still a decent day trip for photos, but bring your own hydration, manage your expectations on the food, and be prepared for a very commercialized experience. read more

Such a beautiful day to visit this 123 Farm in Cherry Valley. It was the Lavander festival till July 19. So many shops, cafe , gardens and live music to enjoy. The Soudough shop was Amaxing. We got the fresh cheddar and jakapeno sourdough bread. Dipped with their farm made balsamic blackberry vinegar and olive oil. So crispy on top and soft dough inside. The matcha room was so good especially the jasmine tea macha and bnb matcha latte. Pizza the sourdough crust with urugula, goat cheese ,figs . Wow . Live music was so enjoyable. The Monark band performed well. Chandelier hanging all over the trees . The cafe and food stands were all open and so many to choose from. Sourdough donuts, burgers, fried with lavender solo. Drinks their signature Lavender ice tea. Be back read more

This is my third time coming to 123 Farms for their Lavender Festival! I've come twice before for their preseason events and then post season, after their lavender has bloomed. I think I'd much prefer not paying for parking or for admission! I'm writing this review after attending their Mother's Day weekend preseason festivities. Parking is paid for alongside your admission ticket. It was free on Mother's Day as long as you paid for parking. It wasn't room bad, but the gravel and dirt road isn't friendly, so beware. There are plenty of things to do while at the farm. They have plenty of food and fun things for the lavender festival. The Farm itself has a hotel, sourdough area, perfume class, a matcha room, and two bars you can sit and drink in. I'm giving it the stars that I am because I'm not a fan of their food. Their drinks here are decent, but I feel as though the workers here are burnt out. It's definitely packed on every corner with a lot of people. Even when taking photos with the lavender, it's busy and a bit overwhelming. It is a lovely concept overall, and a nice experience away from the busy city. read more

Third time coming to the Lavender Festival. First time was back in 2019. And I was in paradise. What a beautiful place I thought. Then I came with my mom and sisters in 2022 and had an amazing time. Not sure why I didn't write a review back then, probably forgot. Yesterday my husband and son joined me to visit the festival. We had an amazing time. Got here at 5 pm and stayed til sunset. The grounds are beautiful. The little cottages selling gifts, candles, plants, etc is fun to visit. The lavender flavored drinks, dessert and food were delicious. We got a steak sandwich, a chicken sandwich and a sourdough pizza. Loved it all. The lavender lemonade was so good I got it twice. The lavender ice cream we shared was amazing with the lavender latte. Overall the food options are amazing here and prices are reasonable. The lavender plants are beautiful to look at. You can walk around for hours. I enjoyed watching the sunset, so so wonderful. The products sold here is organic and amazing smells heavenly. I wish this place was closer to home I would have probably visited every week. Overall it's great to visit the farm. Check out their website for their upcoming events cause they have many seasonal events. I promised my self to come back for the Christmas event. Will be beautiful. read more

What a cool place We got to experience the Sourdough Festival this past weekend. They had stamps and a passport card that allowed you visit each Sourdough station. We also got to explore the grounds and found some cool shops and the place called The Courtyard. Also got some yummy matcha in the Matcha room. A fun spot for families and kiddos to run around and explore. It's giving Bridgerton vibes.Definitley will be back soon for future events! read more

Love this place! We purchased the Family membership. This includes entry to most of their events year-round and discounts. It's a great place to go to get away from the city for a little while. To enjoy farm fresh crafts, foods drinks, live music, art, and of course, to take beautiful photos if you enjoy that sort of thing. Everyone who works at the farm is typically very helpful. Different events through the year offer different opportunities highlighting some of their specialties. read more

123 Farms is beautiful place to take the family or go on a date day or night. Warm but charming during the day and magiclal with Mattie lit up by hanging chandeliers and lights. The food is delicious especially the fig and goat cheese pizza and lavender lemonade! There are usually live singers and little boutique shops to check out for unique gifts . They also sell balsamic vinegars you can sample .. mission fig is my fav... check this place out while the lavender are all blooming! read more

This is our 3rd year going to 123 farm. We recently purchased the VIP annual pass that comes with free parking and 10% off in their shops. Our favorite time to go is during Christmas and Valentine's Day. Sourdough and tea times are also great. The hot cocoa during Christmas is amazing and so is their lavender raspberry honey blonde ale. This place is nice for pictures and they also have fun scavenger hunts. You can win cute prizes like enamel pins and stickers during different times of the year. Overall lovely place! read more

What a wonderful Christmas experience here! I actually came on the last weekend after new year's and it wasn't too busy. This was lovely since I got to enjoy everything without it being too crowded. I went in without much expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. It wasn't only just photo spots with beautiful lights, but also had many food spots and the cutest shops. You can basically walk anywhere all over the farm. The provided map was not really too scale so I was a bit disoriented but it didn't really matter since you can just walk and explore! Food was quite pricey. I didn't try the food itself since I was with someone that is vegan and they had no vegan-friendly foods. But we did get the lavender raspberry honey beer which was really delicious. It is more on the sweeter side which is great for me because I don't love beers that much. Bathrooms were either in a mobile van thing or it was the bathrooms in the hotel rooms. I went to the one in the hotel room. The set up was weird and kinda creepy. There is both a sink inside the actual bathroom without soap and another sink right outside of the bathroom in the hotel room hallway with soap and paper towels. Wasn't the cleanest but it wasn't super dirty either We ended up buying parking there. Seems like some people said you can park on the street but everything I saw said no parking the entire block or no parking due to fire lanes. read more

Christmas time at 123 Farm is truly a sparkling experience. Thousands of twinkling lights create the most festive atmosphere, with beautiful displays everywhere you turn. The food, treats, and drinks were all delicious, and there were so many cozy spots to enjoy everything. Parking is limited, so planning ahead is a must--but it's absolutely worth it. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which really elevated the entire experience. We had such a great time that we became annual pass members and are already looking forward to coming back for the Sourdough Festival and Lavender Festival. There are endless photo opportunities throughout the farm, and the s'more pits are such a fun touch for families to gather and make memories. Overall, we highly recommend 123 Farm. It's well worth the drive and the ticket price, and we can't wait to return. read more

It was my first time at the 123 Farm and we were invited by someone who has an annual membership. We originally purchased tix to the Tea Nights Festival that would begin that evening at 5:00pm, but there was also Sourdough Festival that was running in conjunction during the day, and so we decided to get there early to experience both. Our group of 9 explored the different areas at the Sourdough and Tea Festivals and enjoyed all the different samples, food, drinks, and live music. There were lots of fresh pastries, bread, and hot foods for purchase. Get there early to get the best selection, because the hordes of hungry folks start coming in after 1:00pm in the afternoon and then there are long lines for everything. We tried the Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza which was really good. We both agreed that we'd add mozzarella cheese next time. It is very good as is, but we just think some melty mozz could only make it more delicious. The Margherita Pizza was just meh. It was made the traditional way with tomato sauce as the base with dollops of melted fresh mozzarella and whole basil leaves wilted on top. I prefer the one with slices of tomato on top of a base of marinara and melty, ooey, gooey shredded mozzarella cheese. Nevermind all that, because the standout on both pizzas was the crust. I was entranced while eating this pizza and discovering the delicious, wood-fired crispy crust and fluffy, pillowy end pieces with seasonings and herbs lightly adding flavor to each piece. You won't understand until you try it for yourself, and then you'll say an enthusiastic "ohhh!" You can thank me later. The chicken pot pie was really delicious. The soup was so warm and comforting. It was flavorful and had lots of chicken and veggies in it. So sorry I forgot to take pics of what I ate cuz I was so hungry! FYI: The pot pie was supposed to come in a special cast iron skillet that you can take home, but I guess it was so popular, because they ran out and began serving it in a sourdough bread bowl. Sad that I missed out on the skillet but I'll try and get one next year. The Matcha Room has the very best drinks, according to my son who sucked down 2 strawberry matcha lattes. Sadly I wasn't able to try any of the matcha drinks because I'm lactose and they only had whole milk. I hope they decide to add a milk substitute option in the future. Maybe if enough people start asking/requesting for it they will. I did get some desserts to try from The Matcha Room. The Matcha Tiramisu and the Biscoff Matcha Cupcake. Tiramisu had no flavor of matcha and was pretty bland; not sweet at all. The cupcake was very sweet and I liked it more than the tiramisu. The chocolate cake was slightly dry and the frosting was very rich but very tasty. The portion of Biscoff cookie on top for decoration was soft and soggy so I didn't eat that. I'll probably pass on the desserts next time. Why I only gave 4 stars is because the area is not very handicap accessible due to the gravel roads and wood chip areas of the farm, which I knew about prior to going and so I'm not deducting a star for that. But mainly due to the small building where they hold the tea and sourdough samples portion of the festival (which is also the store/bakery). The area is not large/wide enough to stay on my small, lightweight mobility scooter to peruse, shop, and taste the products presented, because the lines are set up to zig-zag back and forth and the scooter is just not made for navigating tight spaces. It was very full and very crowded with people on this Saturday afternoon's Tea Festival. There was one very kind woman who saw me waiting for one of the serve yourself teas and she offered to fill my cup for me. Most people wouldn't move out of the way, acknowledge me, or even be courteous to me. I felt very defeated and decided to stay in the outer perimeters of the room, but fortunately I had family with me that stood in the lines to get me the samples that I was unable to access. Another issue was that the cash register for purchasing any of the teas/sourdough/goods was down a short flight of stairs, but fortunately at the opposite end was a ramp. The ramp turned out to be useless to me, because the line went only one way and that would have required me to launch me and my scooter down the stairs. I did try using the ramp to go downstairs and get in the line, but with the two lines of shoppers waiting to cash out along with the multiple glass product display stands, there was no room to turn myself around to face the same direction the line was going in. For the next festivals, I'll rent a heavy duty mobility scooter with large wheels to easily maneuver through those hills and rocky roads. Then, I'd park that big contraption somewhere and pull out my small, lightweight walker to get into the smaller rooms and tight spaces. Hopefully these changes will allow me to have a much more enjoyable time. read more

We LOVE 123 Farms! If you are in the area, we recommend getting a membership (breaks even with two trips!). It comes with parking and you get a discount at 123 Farm food and store. There are kid friendly activities and great things for couples. They have s'mores pits, outdoor games, and beautiful lights & decorations. It's worth going for every festival. The fig & goat cheese pizza is a MUST. I inhale that thing! The olive matcha tea powder is delicious (you buy a container and make at home. It's worth it!!!) read more

Literally so cute and filled with Christmas magic. I haven't been here in years, granted, I did not really enjoy it the first time I went. I ended up going today on a double date with my sister and her bf. Definitely buy your tickets & parking ahead of time because otherwise you have to park very far on the street. My sister bought parking a while ago so we were fine but it was really busy! It's sooo cute and I love how it's decorated for xmas. There's so many lights and cute themed food. It was nice walking around too and seeing all the different areas. There's even a good amount of shops. I'll have to say too the bathrooms are so nice and clean which I think is a bonus. We had such a good time, I'm glad we gave this place another shot! read more

Five stars for Christmas Nights at 123 Farm. A friend's group and I went together and had such a great time. From the moment we walked in, the holiday lights set the mood. Everything was spread out nicely, so it never felt crowded or overwhelming, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy the night. We spent a lot of time walking around the farm, checking out all the different light displays, and stopping for pictures. There were plenty of cute photo spots and spots to just hang out and take it all in. We grabbed warm drinks and snacks, which was perfect for the cooler evening and added to the cozy holiday feel. The staff throughout the farm were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt well organized but still laid back. This was such a fun and festive way to spend an evening with friends during the holiday season. Definitely worth the visit and something I'd happily do again next Christmas. read more

Wow !!! My mom has a VIP membership and we go for various festivals. This festival was the tea festival. So amazing the atmosphere, the ambiance, the customer service was an amazing. They had tea stations each station featured a different tea. You had to stamp your passport after your completed trying each tea. My sister and I had crème brûlée and it was amazing and you get to keep the dish. The food was great, the pizza yummy on sourdough, the lavender lemonade was a chefs kiss one of my favorites. I can go on and on about this particular festival I honestly recommend this more than the Christmas festival. read more

Visited 123 farm for their Summer courtyard dinner for my anniversary and had an amazing time. The location is beautiful with many photo station opportunities. The Summer Courtyard Dinner is hosted only 1 time and have to reserve your spot in advance. The price is a bit pricey but it includes a 3 course meal paired with wine. Everything was delicious and brought out quickly. The staff were professional and the wine pours were generous. Definitely recommend booking a dinner opportunity when available. read more

I've been visiting 123 Farm for several years now. Over the years they change things up for their annual Lavender Fest (one of my favorite events). The photo ops and spending time with loved ones and friends is always worth the drive. The food is just okay - nothing worth raving about other than the Lavender Lemonade. More of an influencer paradise but a tradition for my mother and I. read more

The lights and the decorations were sooo pretty too! It's a great place to take your family or go with friends. read more

We love this place so much, it is an annual tradition for us now. We came again for the lavender festival and noticed they made some nice upgrades. Some of the little retail stores have been remodeled to give it a more modern look. There are also new upgraded bathrooms. There are so many instagram worthy spots, and they definitely set it up that way. There are couches and swings throughout the grounds. And during the Lavender Festival there are chandeliers hanging from the trees. I'm sure it's gorgeous at night. But the best part for me is the ability to buy freshly cut bundles of lavender. Came home with a large bouquet to sweeten our home :) Tip 1: Walk through the lavender fields behind the Distillation Demo area to see different varieties of plants. The farmers showed me that if you give a gentle squeeze the oils come out and the fragrance of the different lavenders and lemon verbena is intoxicating. Tip 2: The festival has select days when they are open from noon to 10pm. Otherwise they are usually open for the festival 5pm-10pm. read more

I've been twice - both times for their VALENTINES NIGHTS. They've added more things this year which makes it more fun. There's LOTS of different photo opportunities, food/snacks/desserts available for purchase, interactive activities (campfire, perfume making, scavenger hunts, etc), and little shops to browse. Easy to navigate and fun for a family or friend's activity. The ONLY DOWNSIDE is parking - if you don't do the prepaid parking, prepare to walk about 0.5 miles to get to the entrance! It's very busy this time of year. read more

Visited on a hot day (87°) but it's inland, so that's expected. The terrain isn't very smooth, so wear comfortable shoes. The farm is huge, with tons of photo spots, olive and lavender trees, rosemary, and more. There's a cute gift shop, essential oil distillation, restaurants, games, and live music. It's family-friendly but not ADA accessible. Food is definitely pricey. Most items have lavender in them, but I barely tasted it in the tiramisu or aioli. The chicken sandwich was dry and I'd skip it. The burger was good. Loved the sweet iced lavender tea and lavender lemonade! The lavender mint mojito mocktail wasn't great though. We went on a Saturday evening and it surprisingly wasn't crowded. Overall, the vibe was lovely and the lavender was mostly in bloom and beautiful. The farm is worth visiting at least once, though next time I'd skip the main food and maybe try the restaurant? And definitely enjoy the scenery! read more

Here for the Lavender Festival . First thing... it's not the festival your use to... where there's rides and vendors with all sort of goodies, food and cute souvenirs, etc... As I was was expecting. 2nd... it not all that bad, but not all that good either. Think of this place as a private farm that host events like the Lavendar festival and others thing. They do have nice sheds// booths that sell a variety of food and drinks related to Lavender. Like Lavender versions of beers, cocktails, lemonade, sourdough pizza, ice cream, donuts icing, and so on. You see fields of Lavenders among olive trees and grapes vines, and very tall trees. There an cafe, eatery and Inn as well. Food here is expensive and mediocre... for example the Lavender tiramisu... my goodness, it so beautiful, but that's where it ends... the inside is dry and tastless... not yummy to my tummy . You'll pay $20 to park, $20 dollars to enter, and $20 for a cheeseburger with Fries. Don't even try asking for a cup of water, it a festival, expected festival price... but, the restroom here are nice! A solid two thumbs up. Check out the pictures and you get the general idea. Is it worth coming? Depends on your attitude and your wallet. It a place for adults looking to enjoy a date or hang out with friends and family. The place is nicely kept and a nice quiet afternoon / evening with nature with the comforts of a beautiful pedicure farm... not much for young kids, to do. Think winery with hints of festival food. It up to you to enjoy and have nice relaxing day. Yourself a fried sourdough corn dog! Enjoy. read more

Such a festive place to spend an evening. Good food available. We really enjoyed homemade soup in a homemade sourdough bread bowl. Overall, I think we'd have enjoyed the evening more with friends; there are nice places to sit and visit, many shopping opportunities, and plenty of room for kids to run around. Also, I agree with another review that advised: bring plenty of money for shopping, food & drink, and extra activities. Personal note: I'd like to go back for the sourdough festival later in the year. I'm not usually a sourdough fan, but I loved the mild sourdough flavor of their bread bowls.

My husband and I went for the lavender festival and it was so cute!! Can definitely see why it's so popular for IG photo shoots. There were so many photo spots (swings, cute chairs with flowers, backdrops) all decorated with string lights. People of all ages can find something fun. Lots of families there. No animals allowed. We attended the distillation tour and the wine tour. Both employees were knowledgeable and friendly; the wine tour even gave you a sample of their Moscato d'Asti. You'd better believe we took home a bottle! Many food options too. A little pricey but not unexpected. We had a steak sandwich that was able to be split between us two as a snack. It was delicious. Appreciate that the food arrived with compostable plate and utensils. My only regret is not wearing warmer clothes. The farm is at a slight elevation, and the festivals are from 5-10pm so it definitely cooled dramatically throughout the night. Add in the wind and we were pretty chilly. Recommend also wearing comfy shoes. They're doing regenerative farming so the ground is completely covered in wood chips. read more

I went on a weekday, shocking parking was $18! I do not know if u buy online will be less. The fields was not really in full bloom. Dismal display of its beauty. Everything you have to pay.

123 Farm hosts their Lavender Festival in the summer and since we missed it this year, I wanted to give the autumn Lavender Nights a try. I thought Lavender Nights wouldn't be as fun given the lavender isn't in season, but man oh man was I pleasantly surprised. I cannot tell you enough, this was my favorite date EVER. Lavender Nights was such a blast! We purchased out tickets (parking too) online. The tickets were easy to purchase, and the website very user-friendly. There are two entrances: one for general parking on mulch, and another for preferred that is on pavement. Either are worth the price, and we definitely got our money's worth between that and the tickets. My biggest fear is Instagram vs reality. The date-night spot catfish. But 123 Farm was incredible! SO MANY beautiful photo ops, places to lounge and take it easy (hammocks, hanging chairs, benches), and tons of shops with hand-crafted goodies. I loved 123 Farm even more than my usual go-to, the Flower Fields in San Diego. We enjoyed the lavender coffee from 123 Cafe, but I wish I'd held out for the matcha cafe! There is just so much to choose from. Churros, cheesecake, sourdough pizzas, sausages, coffee, matcha, sourdough pretzels, lemonades etc. It's a foodies dream, and there is something for everyone! I also love the added effort in making everything sourdough (huge sourdough guy here), over regular bread. Plus, the MASSIVE food court area had PLENTY of seating, and even live music. String lights everywhere, thoughtful touches, lots of great food, TONS to see and keep entertained... you cannot go wrong at 123 Farm. I hope to be back at least annually to try something new. Maybe even the s'mores pit or the tapas restaurant! This place is just such a gem. read more

Worth the Drive...But Bring Your Wallet. I finally made the hour and a half commute to check out 123Farm's Holiday Christmas Nights, and despite the long drive, the event was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for holiday charm and cheer, this is where you'll find it. The entire event is great. The staff is friendly, the variety of food is perfect for the cold weather, and the atmosphere created by the lights is wonderful. However, be warned: this is not just an event, it's a shopping experience designed to empty your pockets in the best way possible. Between the oils, candles, and stunning bouquets, there's a point where you just have to say, "Take my money." My wife couldn't stop buying little artisanal gifts for our friends. The small, niche shops are charming and dangerous! I had such a good time browsing and shopping that I realized I need to go back just to actually go through all the paths with the Christmas lights. Highly recommended for a holiday outing, just set a budget and try to stick to it...good luck! read more
