The festival will be showcasing a huge range of foods and wines from the Avon Valley and the rest of Western Australia and also some from further afield. The York Olive Oil Co will be there with our olive products, chocolates and ice creams and visitors will be able to sample wines, chillies, yabbies, cheeses, jams, pickles, exotic spices, sauces, nuts and much more from forty other stalls. Also festival markets, live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, degustation lunches and dinners and things to occupy the children.

Regulars to the festival should note the new date in early June, rather than the last weekend in June where it was scheduled in years past.
The York Olive Oil press and retail shop on Ashworth Road will be open as usual over the long weekend, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 5pm.
Harvest time is here again, the trees are heavy with ripening olives and the press is already busy. We currently have large pickling varieties, Verdale, Kalamata and UC13A6 (Californian Queen) at optimum ripeness available for Pick Your Own harvesting at $2.50 per kg. We can provide harvesting baskets, crates, etc and also a recipe for making your own table olives. We can also supply specialised pickling containers so all you need to add is salt and water.
Our oil varieties will soon be ready for harvesting at 60c per kg plus our usual processing charges. If you’d like your very own cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil but don’t have any trees then no problem. Come along in the morning and go home in the afternoon with your freshly pressed “olio novello”.
It’s always a good idea to give us a call before you make the trip to check availability.
