A little Serge Gainsbourg to roll us into the weekend. 🇫🇷

I fell in love with La Javanaise after watching Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life and decided I had to learn it in French of course.

If you haven’t seen the film, add it to your list. And if you’re in Paris, is a must-see.

For more of our favorite Paris spots, take a peek at our Paris Guide here on our profile. 🤍

Mexico City favorites 🇲🇽

A few places from our trip that I’d happily go back to again and again…

🛎️ La Valise — loved staying here in Roma Norte. Stylish, intimate and such a special place to come home to at the end of the day.

🌸 Breakfast Roma — beautifully appointed, gorgeous flowers and décor, and one of the best margaritas I had in Mexico City.

🌺 Coyoacán + the Frida Kahlo Museum — colorful, charming and absolutely worth the visit.

🌿 Chapultepec Park & Castle — beautiful, fascinating and filled with history.

🌮 El Califa de León — tiny, no-frills and one of the highlights of the trip. Such a fun contrast to some of the more elaborate dining experiences.

🐟 Contramar — lively, stylish and such a quintessential Mexico City lunch. Wonderful seafood and great energy. Order the ahi tostadas!

✨ Rosetta — set in a beautiful old private home, with a fantastic bar and such a special atmosphere. One of my favorite dinners of the trip.

🍽️ Máximo — fabulous food, a great scene… and we even spotted Harry Styles.

🤎 Pujol — such a fascinating experience, especially learning the story behind their legendary Mole Madre.

Mexico City surprised me in the best possible way — incredible food, history, design and inspiration everywhere we looked.

Save this one for your next trip 🇲🇽

And tell me — what did I miss?

The sunflowers put on quite a show at the farm this year. 🌻

We grew Royal Hybrid sunflowers from seed, and now, at the tail end of their season, I wanted to share the simple way I condition them after cutting so they last beautifully in the house.

There’s something so satisfying about watching them go from tiny seeds in the greenhouse, to towering blooms in the field, to an armful on the cutting table, and finally into a favorite vase.

Next year we’re going to try Vincent’s Choice and Sunrich Orange Summer too. Already dreaming about those rows of summer color.

One of my favorite things about limelight hydrangeas? They don’t just have a beautiful vase life, they keep giving long after summer is over. 🌿

After harvesting, we remove the leaves, cut the stems at a 45° angle, condition them in a cool, dark place with FloraLife Flower Food 300, and then enjoy them fresh in the shop.

The best part? As the water disappears, we simply let them dry naturally. They become gorgeous dried hydrangeas that we use to decorate Chateau Sonoma for months.

Save this reel for hydrangea season, and let me know if you try it. 🤍

Today we celebrate Sam—our Leo, our king of the jungle, and one of those rare people who truly seems capable of anything.

What doesn’t Sam do? He grows the most beautiful heirloom tomatoes, tends the lavender fields, cares for every creature on the farm, fixes absolutely anything, solves every problem and throws the very best parties.

He is a farmer, a craftsman, an animal whisperer and a true force of nature—someone who feels as though he sprouted straight from the earth. Plants flourish under his care, animals instinctively trust him, and everything he touches becomes better.

But what makes Sam so special goes far beyond all that he can do. He is a devoted family man, an incredible father, a wonderful husband and someone who has truly become part of our family here at Chateau Sonoma.

Sam, we could sing your praises all day and still never quite capture everything you bring to our farm, our work and our lives. We are so grateful for you.

Happy birthday to the one and only Sam. Today, we celebrate all things Sam. 🦁🌿🍅🐐✨

There is something so satisfying (and therapeutic!) about distilling our own lavender oil in the copper still. 🪻✨

It takes quite a bit of fresh lavender... and a whole lot of patience just to siphon off that tiny bit of pure essential oil, but the scent alone makes it so worth it!

Have you ever tried making your own essential oils or hydrosols at home? Let me know in the comments! 👇
