Visitors can indulge in a delightful combination of aromatic lavender products and crisp, delicious wines, making it an unforgettable stop on your Weinstraße journey.

A Posh Picnic

This year, they even teamed up with Teléios Event + Travel Planning to offer this "posh picnic" experience in the fields. I wish they had this when I lived there. I totally would have signed up!


Note: Due to limited availability and the late season, it's unlikely that there are any spots left. I apologize for the late announcement. I honestly didn't realize I hadn't shared a full write-up on the BlauSinn Lavender experience yet!


Bee Respectful

I wish this didn't need to be said, but please respect the fields by staying on the designated paths. These flowers are crucial to the livelihood of the farmers and damaging them affects their income. Let's work together to keep this beautiful experience open for everyone to enjoy!

The fields are near Weingut Matthias Gaul off of 271 and L395. This is where I have it pinned on my Google Maps. If you have any trouble finding it, stop by the winery first and ask for directions.


Parking

There is no designated parking lot near the lavender fields. You can either walk from the winery (15 minutes) or park on the side of the road nearby. The winery does have a small amount of parking available on site.


Caution, Bees!

Bees and other insects are drawn to the fields and are protected in Germany. To try to avoid them, you can visit in the early morning (6 am -7 am) and late evening (before sunset). There still may be some present, but most are less active during these times. It all depends on the temperature, weather conditions, etc!


Lavender Shop
