We visited the Rangihoua Estate as part of a private tour of the island. The staff were lovely and were very knowledgable about the oil making process. They were also obviously very proud of their produce. We tasted 3 different oils during our visit and each were very different with distinct noses and flavours. We were also lucky enough to try some of their herb blend. Looking forward to making some delicious bruschetta with this!
Rangihouha Estate surrounded by tall thick trees is a calm and quiet place. Right across the small sit out are the olive orchards. The oil press is in the shed and the shop offers a few varieties of olive oil. One can taste them and decide which one to pick up. They're all great. While there, pick up a herb spread or two and some wonderful manuka honey too. It's expensive but really good.
We were here on vacation last year and bought some of their olive oils. Had to come back again to replenish our stash. Great friendly helpful staff at the tastings.
This is an informative tour and something to do on Walheke Island. I learned a lot about olive oil and we did have a tasting of the different varieties that they offer.
I learned a lot about olive oil at the award winning olive oil producing estate. Enjoyed tasting the different varieties!
