About this tour
A hands-on three-hour workshop at a working lavender distillery in France where you'll learn practical aromatherapy for the whole family. Guided by a certified producer, you'll explore how essential oils, hydrosols and fragrant waters are made, get to grips with the local lavender varieties, and understand safe usage guidelines before blending your own custom preparation to take home.
Highlights
- Tour the distillery to see lavender processing firsthand
- Learn safe application methods and dosages for families
- Olfactory training to distinguish lavender varieties by scent
- Blend your own roll-on or custom mix for sleep or respiratory support
- Walk away with a ready-to-use creation and recipe to replicate at home
- Discover which local essences work best for everyday wellness
What to expect
You'll begin on the distillery floor watching how essential oils separate from plant material and learning the distinctions between true oils, floral waters and perfumes. Next comes the sensory part: sniffing and comparing lavender varieties grown locally so you can match each to its typical uses. The core of the workshop focuses on safety—correct dilution ratios, application methods and which oils suit children versus adults. You'll then create a bespoke blend (sleep formula, immune support or air freshener, for instance) under guidance, taking home your finished product and written instructions so you can make it again without guesswork.
Good to know
The distillery is fully accessible for wheelchairs. Prams and strollers are welcome for small children. Service animals permitted. Infant seats available if needed. No prior aromatherapy knowledge required; the workshop suits all fitness levels.
