Lavender Farms: the Atmosphere of Provence in the Czech Republic

Lavender Farms Czechia

Looking for a summer escape filled with colour, scent, and calm?

Across Czechia, lavender farms and herb gardens are opening their gates to visitors, offering a different kind of seasonal experience—one scented with fresh blooms, homemade products, and peaceful countryside views.

You don’t need to go to Provence to be surrounded by lavender. Several farms in the Czech Republic now cultivate the purple flower, known for its calming properties and strong fragrance. During peak bloom, the fields are not only a sight to see but a sensory experience—especially when paired with lavender-flavoured treats.

One of the best-known stops is Lavender Valley in Chodouň, near Beroun. Here, visitors can explore the fields, try wellness treatments using lavender oils, and enjoy refreshments like lavender lemonade and ice cream. Nearby, you can also visit the Křivoklát Castle or take a tour of the Rückl glass factory, both easy detours from the farm.

Further south, in South Moravia’s wine region, the Lavandia Farm near Starovičky opens for the season with its own café and lavender products. The farm sits near the Lednice-Valtice landscape area, making it a scenic addition to any trip to the region.

In Central Moravia, Bezděkov Lavender Farm offers something more relaxed—a short walking trail through its lavender beds and even massages on-site, available by reservation.

Historic Gardens and Herbal Delights

If you’re more interested in herbs beyond lavender, there are gardens across the country combining history, education, and hands-on experiences.

In East Bohemia, the Baroque Hospital Kuks features a reconstructed herbal garden, open from sunrise to sunset. Originally designed for medicinal use, it now offers a peaceful place to stroll among medicinal plants and learn about their history.

Down in South Moravia, the Lu & Tiree Chmelar Herb Garden is located within the grounds of Valtice Chateau, part of a UNESCO-listed site. The garden includes a shop selling teas, oils, and dried herbs grown on site.

Meanwhile, at the Botanicus Gardens in Ostrá (Central Bohemia), visitors can see how herbs are turned into jams, teas, and natural cosmetics. There’s also a workshop area where you can try your hand at making herbal soap.

Where Joy Grows—Literally

A unique destination for herb lovers is Čejkovice, also in South Moravia. It’s home to Sonnentor, a company that has been producing organic teas and spice blends for decades.

Their visitor centre offers guided tours through the entire process—from harvesting to drying to packaging—explaining how their products are made. Locals like to say, only half-jokingly, that “this is where joy grows.”
