Just south of Martinborough is the award-winning lavender farm and shop of Ranui Essentials, open most weekends with an assortment of lavender products. Owner Tracy can also take you on a tour of the farm and explain the varieties of lavender they grow. Check out their Lavender Gin, Vodka and Liqueur, crafted from their recently installed lavender distillery. Keep an eye out for their wonderful Lavender Picking and Stargazing events each January, where you get to pick lavender and learn about the night sky from Under the Stars astronomy guides at the same time!
