Enjoy a thoughtfully paced outing that blends elegance, natural beauty, and comforting cuisine with a visit to The Lavender Farm at Chateau de Vie, followed by a relaxed included lunch at Rigatony’s Italian Restaurant. Tucked into a quiet corner of Chandler, this enchanting lavender estate—often called the “Castle of Life”—offers a peaceful, sensory-rich experience.

Our visit begins with a guided tour through the mansion, where you’ll learn about the history of the property, its architectural details, and how the estate came to be a working lavender farm. Afterward, enjoy time to stroll the fragrant grounds at your own pace, discover different lavender varieties and their uses, and browse the charming farm shop for handcrafted lavender products and thoughtful gifts.

Late morning, we’ll make our way to Rigatony’s Italian Restaurant, a longtime local favorite celebrated for its warm hospitality and classic Italian comfort food. Settle in for a leisurely lunch featuring hearty pasta dishes, fresh salads, and house specialties, all served in a welcoming, unhurried setting.
