In June 2026, the Nagybudmér Lavender Days return to the Villány Wine Region with lazy-weekend charm and fields that glow purple at sunset. Every Saturday and Sunday, visitors can roam the rows, snap photos, cut their own bundles during the pick-your-own lavender harvest, watch a live distillation demo, sip unlimited syrups, and linger for the golden-hour program among the blossoms. The estate sits along the main road in 7756 Nagybudmér, marked with flags and banners, about 5.6 miles from Villány in Baranya County.
Weekends Packed With Fragrance
The festival runs across four June weekends: June 6–7, 13–14, 20–21, and 27–28. Gates are open 10:00–21:00, with the stills fired up daily between 11:00 and 15:00, and the sunset session set for 19:30–21:00. It’s designed for families, couples, nature lovers, and anyone who lives for a good photo in a sea of violet.
Pick, Learn, Sip, Repeat
This is hands-on. The pick-your-own lavender is a headline favorite—guests gather their own bouquets straight from the rows. A guided walk and open-field photo ops give plenty of time to wander. The distillation showcase lifts the lid on traditional technique: 100% pure essential oil and hydrolat are extracted on-site in handmade copper alembics. Meanwhile, unlimited syrup tasting keeps things fresh and floral throughout the day.
A Three-Hectare Purple Playground
The 7.4-acre plantation features roughly 15,000 lavender plants and 3,000 rosemary plants, with organic conversion underway. The family producers craft more than oils and hydrolats: you’ll find lavender syrup, fig leaf syrup, elderflower syrup, fig chutney, and a lavender roll-on, plus rosemary essential oil and hydrolat. Products are available to browse and buy on-site, turning an afternoon stroll into a well-stocked pantry of summer scents.
When the Fields Are at Their Best
Sunset steals the show. The lavender glows, the air warms with fragrance, and cameras stay busy. That’s why the program deliberately carves out 19:30–21:00 for unwinding in the rows as the day slips into evening. If you’re here for a visual feast, that time window is the sweet spot.
