Olivo

A working olive grove, one of the oldest in New Zealand with a purpose built olive oil tasting room.

Most people go to Matinborough for the vineyards but thia hidden gem is also worth a visit. The hosts gave us a lovely tour of the grove, explaining all about olives, harvesting, the different varieties and many more. At the end of the tour we watched a short video about the pressing of the olives and then proceeded to taste a variety of oils. Thanks to Olivo we now know what to look out for when buying or tasting olive oil, and what each type really means. They also have olive oil soap which I can't wait to try!

Martinborough Wine Centre

Reviewed By Evoorua - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Great one stop shop for all the local delicacies, including wine from Martinborough and Gladstone. It has a brilliant selection of Extra Virgin Olive Oils, from within Martinborough and nearby Ruakokoputuna, and most weekends there is a tasting of either wine/Olive Oils or if you are lucky both. This is a great shop to visit, I have found the staff very friendly and helpful....Oh and you can hire bikes from here at a very reasonable price.

Hi Di Thank you for your excellent service. We were first time visitors to Martinborough and visited your lovely shop. On spotting a couple of lovely items, I came back the following day and asked if you would freight the items to my home town, which you said you ship items all over NZ. - So please and excited I bought. I just want to say a big thank you, the three parcels which arrived one after we returned home - well packed and clearly addressed. Just want to say - you provided excellent customer service.
