Discovering the lavender fields in Oltrepò Pavese

Lavender is synonymous with Provence, with rows of blue-violet flowers being a classic image in many postcards and photographs.

On the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, just a few kilometers from Milan, we can discover the purple color and fragrance of lavender.

Lavender is an evergreen plant: a lavender bush will never be bare, even in winter it will still have leaves.

Due to its visual impact during blooming, which lasts from late May to the first weeks of July, these areas have also become a tourist attraction for photography lovers.

The best time for capturing photos of the blooming fields and expanses of purple remains from mid-June to the first week of July.

Lavender is hand-harvested at the peak of its bloom during the balsamic period to produce a wide range of products, from face and body creams to soaps, perfumes, air fresheners, candles, and much more.

Contact the local businesses directly to arrange guided tours or participate in lavender-themed events.
