GREAT ALPINE ROAD VISITOR GUIDE | PAGE 31 MILAWA/OXLEY Get the‘good oil’on local produce and wine A tour of the Milawa gourmet region wouldn’t be complete without a visit to The Olive Shop in Milawa. Showcasing some of the finest hand-crafted and family-farmed produce in Australia, The Olive Shop will whet your appetite for all that the region has to offer. Here you can stock-up on unique, small-batch condiments to complement your cheese platter, and grab some take-home pantry staples. The Olive Shop aims to support local producers and makers by providing finequality, great-tasting food for locals and visitors to the region. Foodie delights Beginning almost 19 years ago as a small business, selling local farmers’ olives and fresh farm-pressed olive oils, The Olive Shop has now evolved to deliver many of the region’s gourmet goodies to a national (and international) audience through its online store, thereby introducing a whole new generation to the foodie delights of the Milawa region. Notably, each year the new harvest of local Extra Virgin Olive Oil sells out quickly, with a dedicated following waiting eagerly for each harvest and new release, to ensure they are buying the freshest and highest-quality olive oil. A partnership of passion In another exciting evolution in The Olive Shop’s history, it has now co-located with King Valley Wine Cellars. Ian and Nathalie, the founders of King Valley Wine Cellars, say they have a passion for all things local, building their business around “familyfarmed, small-batch gourmet goodies, made predominantly in the local area”. Working alongside The Olive Shop, Ian and Nathalie have now extended their passion for showcasing local, high-quality products to promoting an enticing range of excellent, locally-produced wine, craft beer and spirits. The Olive Shop and King Valley Wine Cellars are both located at 1605 Snow Road, Milawa.
