The Bridestowe Estate Lavender Farm is considered one of Tasmania’s most spectacular sites during flowering in December and January. The five week harvest begins in late December with the distillation and processing of the lavender in full swing. The air of tranquillity, subtle fragrance and beauty of Bridestowe continues to attract visitors throughout the year.

Guided tours are conducted during December and January. A transcript of this tour is available in Japanese, Indonesian and German. An excellent audio-visual presentation  is screened in the visitor centre all year round detailing the Estate's remarkable history as well as harvesting and distillation processes.

The beautiful Visitor's Centre showcases a large range of lavender products including the very finest Bridestowe lavender oil and dried flowers. There are also locally made arts and crafts also featuring Bridestowe lavender. Tastings of gourmet foods and delicacies incorporating sophistication of Bridestowe Lavender Oil and Bridestowe Culinary Lavender Flowers. We have cheeses, fudge, confectionary and of course, world acclaimed Bridestowe Lavender Flower Honey.

Our café offers a selection of light refreshments, espresso coffee and teas. Try our Bridestowe Lavender tea, or a Bridestowe Lavender ice-cream!
