Nestled amongst national parks and picturesque vine covered slopes is a relatively small family owned olive grove committed to the production of Olive Oil - one of those rare commodities -
something that tastes wonderful and is actually good for you.

Margaret River has a well deserved reputation for premium wines with a depth of flavour and intensity. The same conditions that go to produce these flavours in Margaret River grapes also produce wonderful flavour characteristics in olive oil - intense fruit characters with strong pungency and peppery aftertaste.

Visitors to our new dedicated tasting centre can enjoy a hosted tasting, experiencing the variety of extra virgin olive oils including Vasse Virgin estate grown oil and a range of premium olive oils sourced from the best groves within the Margaret River region.
Delicious gourmet condiments can be sampled including a selection of locally and internationally sourced table olives, and Vasse Virgin hand-made tapenades, vinaigrettes and dukkah.



Mark and Margie Bahen were first attracted to the olive oil industry 15 years ago... Margie through childhood stories of her Italian grandfather going to extraordinary efforts to secure this then rare commodity from groves established by the Benedictine Monks at New Norcia.

Mark through his attraction to the distinct beauty of the olive tree itself and the challenge to produce a product from ancient times that is the major ingredient in the great cuisines of the Mediterranean.

“We appreciate the history and timelessness of the olive grove. We find that a walk through the olive grove is one of life’s steadying experiences. Working in an olive grove helps to reset the ego and balance the mind”
Mark Bahen
