Lavender Love

The Provence region of southern France is famous for its lavender fields. But Sonoma County residents don’t have to travel farther than Sebastopol to see a display of the pale purple blooms. On weekends in July, the Monte-Bellaria farm will be hosting hour-long tours of its fields of the fragrant herb. Tours will be held Fridays–Sundays, July 5–28, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., with the last tour starting at 3 p.m., and will include visits to the bee hives and distillation laboratory. Admission is $10; kids younger than 18 get in free. Purchase tickets at monte-bellaria.com
