The Shed Door and Tasting Room offers a wide range of gourmet products with ample opportunity to try the goodies as you go. Take your pick from the diverse range of premium grade olive oils, vinegar, jams, cosmetic products and gifts.

Don’t leave it at that though, make use of the lovely surroundings and enjoy the $3 coffee, delicious Italian biscotti and house-made antipasto options. You can bring your own wine and have a picnic on the many tables and benches on the estate – just be prepared to share the lawn with more than a few of the resident kangaroos.

During harvest season visitors are welcome to watch how olive oil is made and find out why it is so good for you. All olive oil is pressed and produced at Petra, using only hand-picked olives from the 30-acre large estate.

Petra has nine different varieties of olives that are pressed separately to produce a variety of oils including early and late harvested oils. If you’re used to supermarket olive oil, the taste difference is astounding and definitely worth a try.

Whatever you do though, make sure that you allow plenty of time to hang out at the olive farm, take in the views,  watch the kangaroos and listen to the kookaburra’s laugh from the gum trees.
