A fiesta...
Take on old friends in a bocce battle and win over new friends in our olive pit spitting competition. ABUNDANCE is a family event so bring the kids for a visit to our farmyard petting zoo, have their faces painted and take a ride on the olive express, stopping all groves!
Food & wine with a touch of the olive...
Celebrate Abundance in the Chef’s Hat Montalto Restaurant on Saturday and Sunday with our famous shared table lunch. A festive day awaits you, with olive martinis or chilled flutes of our delicious sparkling wine on arrival. The dining room will be transformed into an olive grove as chef Barry Davis showcases the flavours of the Mediterranean and versatility of our estate grown olives and seasonal oils. Challenge for the mantle of Olive pit spitting champion and wear the championship crown!
