Perfume Rose Oil HarvestTours
for    2008
IMMERSE YOUR SENSES IN THE GLORY OF SPRING

      Field View of Perfume Roses CLASSIC TOUR: Come enjoy this totally unique and romantic experience!  Help harvest basket-fulls of fragrant rose petals from hundreds of ancient Bulgarian, French and Persian perfume roses growing in our beautiful Rose Fields, all set amidst the vineyards of Dry Creek Valley.  Stuff the petals into copper distillation kettles and watch as they are transformed into rose water and rose oil, and you become enveloped in their heady scent.  Hear about the history of rose oil and the making of fine perfumes, while you sample the delightful output of the still.  All this is just 2 miles southwest from downtown Healdsburg, CA, in the heart of the Sonoma County wine country.
