Experiences

Come and see
how the oil is made

Zoetigheyd is a working olive farm. Guests at Olive Hill and visitors to the valley can join us among the trees, in the pressing room and, soon, at the tasting table. All experiences are by arrangement — ask us what's on when you plan your visit.

The groves

A tractor ride through the olive trees

Climb aboard and ride out along the rows with the farm team. See the Frantoio, Coratina, Leccino and Mission trees up close, hear how the season is shaping up, and take in the mountains from the middle of the farm.

The pressing room

From olive to oil

Step inside the pressing room where our olives are cold-extracted within hours of picking. Follow the journey from crate to fresh green oil, and see why time and temperature matter so much to the flavour.

The tasting room

Taste the award-winning oil

We're building a tasting room on the farm, where you'll be able to taste our extra virgin olive oils and table olives side by side, and take home a tin or two.
