Have you ever wondered how essential oils are made — or how fresh lavender is transformed into that golden, fragrant oil we bottle by hand at Santa Rita Hills Lavender Farm?
This July, you’re invited to get a hands-on look at the process in our Lavender Distillation Workshop — one of the most immersive and fascinating events of the season!
🧪 What You'll Experience
During the class, we’ll take you step-by-step through:
Seperating the dried lavender buds from the stems
Setting up the still and understanding the distillation process
Watching the essential oil and hydrosol separate
Q&A with our farm team about small-batch distillation
Take-home samples and exclusive product access
📅 Workshop Date: Friday, July 19
🕚 Time: 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM
🎟️ Reserve your spot here
💜 Can’t Make the Workshop?
Don’t worry — we’ll also be doing live lavender distillation demos throughout the day at the Lavender Festival on Saturday, July 12!
Come see the process up close, chat with our team, and smell the difference between fresh blooms and the oils they yield.
🌿 Why Distillation Matters
Distilling lavender is both a science and an art — and it’s one of the most meaningful ways we connect with the full cycle of the plant.
From field to bottle, you'll walk away with a whole new appreciation for what goes into every drop of essential oil.
Whether you're an aromatherapy enthusiast, a lavender lover, or just curious about the process — this is a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of small-batch oil making on a real working farm.
We can’t wait to show you what makes our lavender so special!
