2026 Lavender Bloom Golden Hour at Calverton

Golden Hour Admission

Experience the beauty of Lavender by the Bay during the most magical time of day. Our Golden Hour admission allows guests to enjoy the fields in the warm glow of the evening light, when the lavender is at its most picturesque and the farm takes on a peaceful, golden ambiance. This ticket is valid only for the date and time listed and grants admission during our designated Golden Hour.

Our lavender season unfolds in two distinct blooms:

English Lavender is the first to bloom, typically beginning in June. This early-season bloom features over 20 varieties of lavender in shades of purple, blue, pink, and white. The plants are generally shorter and more varied in color, creating a beautiful patchwork of blooms throughout the fields.

French Lavender follows in late June through July and is the bloom most visitors associate with Lavender by the Bay. Taller plants and expansive fields of purple create the breathtaking "sea of purple" that has made our farms a beloved summer destination.

TICKETS: $24.00 + $2.10 tax per person

While our farm store is open to all visitors, entry into the lavender fields requires a valid field admission ticket. Every member of your party age 7 and older must have their own ticket. Children 6 and under are admitted free.

Please select the same time slot for all members of your group. Guests may enter the fields at any time during their selected admission window but must exit the fields by the end of their designated time slot.
