There is only one place in the world like Campo de Flori, where a world of beautiful taste, views and experiences can be had in the one place.

Lisa and David invite you to engage all your senses while discovering the natural beauty of olives in the Campo de Flori Olive Orchard. You will smell and taste your way around Tasmanian with some of the of the most flavoursome Extra Virgin Olive Oils we have collected from around the state, including our own Campo de Flori Farm Blend EVOO, which has laboratory tested at premium status and won awards at the Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards. Each of the oils has been chosen for its unique characteristics from mild to robust. You will learn to smell and taste like a judge while surround by our flowering olive orchard that comes alive in December and January with the hum of busy giant bumblebees and honeybees! A sound not to missed.
