Lavender Nights & 100,000 Lights

Lavender Nights & 100,000 Lights

Spend a serene evening at 123 Farm's annual Lavender Festival, where blooming lavender stretches across the landscape and the soft light of sunset casts a golden glow over the fields. The pace is gentle, the setting calm, creating an ideal moment to slow down and enjoy the quiet pleasures of the countryside. As twilight settles in, the farm becomes a sensory delight, with over 100,000 twinkling lights illuminating the grounds.

Our adventure begins in charming Old Town Temecula, where you can enjoy a flavorful olive oil tasting at a local artisan shop. Take a short stroll through the historic district’s inviting boutiques and unique shops, soaking in the relaxed pace and warm atmosphere.

At the Lavender Festival, every culinary creation is a celebration of the fragrant bloom. Indulge in refreshing lavender-infused beverages like lemonade, craft cocktails, and locally-brewed lavender beer, or awaken your senses with a cup of aromatic lavender coffee. For those with a sweet tooth, rich lavender desserts and creamy ice cream deliver flavors as vibrant as the fields themselves. Enjoy menu options like Lavender Carne Asada Fries or a Grilled Lavender Chicken Sandwich.

Enjoy a live distillation demonstration, where a knowledgeable farmer shares the traditional process of creating lavender essential oils, which offers a closer look at the thoughtful practices behind the farm's work. Explore the property in comfort on a guided tractor tour through the scenic grounds. Along the way, hear stories from the farm’s rich past and visit the awe-inspiring thousand-year-old oak tree, a treasured landmark standing tall in the heart of the farm. Later this evening, guests will be treated to a leisurely guided walking tour showcasing the property’s charming features and unique points of interest not seen during the tractor ride.

This wondrous evening is perfect for those who appreciate natural beauty, local traditions, and the simple joy of slowing down.
