Visit this working commercial olive grove to sample the good oil with free tastings. The trees, planted in 2002, have flourished in the foothills of Mount Barney. The olives are picked by hand and processed on-site, then placed into brine vats within hours of being plucked from the tree. Head to the hilltop Shed Cafe to tuck into rustic country food and warm up with a Merlo coffee. JULY 1 — 6
