Green Olive at Red Hill
“ From our farm to your plate — every bite is a taste of the Mornington Peninsula.”
📍 Location
Green Olive is located in Red Hill, in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. The farm is surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, native gardens, and paddocks that supply the kitchen with fresh produce daily.
📖 Story
A true farm-to-plate experience, Green Olive combines sustainable farming, flavour, and community. Everything on the menu reflects the land it’s grown on — from slow-cooked lamb to native bush ingredients. Guests are welcomed into the rhythms of the farm, with meals that connect them to place.
🌱 Sourcing Philosophy
- Seasonal vegetables, herbs, and native bush foods are grown onsite in kitchen gardens, paddocks, and greenhouses.
- Five olive varieties — Frantoio, Leccino, Picual, Manzanilla, and Kalamata — are harvested by hand and made into extra virgin olive oil and table olives.
- The farm’s Bush Food Garden features native ingredients like lemon myrtle, finger lime, and pepperberry, used in products such as their new Native Salt.
🍇 Signature Products
- Farm-Made Relishes & Marmalades – Crafted in-house from garden produce and served on grazing plates or available to take home.
- Estate Grown Wine – Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio grapes grown on the farm and made in partnership with Passing Clouds winery.
- Farm-Raised Lamb – Wiltshire sheep raised onsite provide the lamb for Green Olive’s signature slow-cooked dish.
- Victorian Cheese – Sourced from local artisan cheesemakers to complement the seasonal grazing experience.
