You can find Whirlwind Olives farm just 26 kilometres south of Margaret River on the Bussell Highway, just 1.5km north of Karridale. Look out for the “Whirlwind” sign at the farm-gate.
Whirlwind Extra Virgin Olive Oil is grown in the rolling vales of Margaret River in Western Australia’s south-west.
The annual harvest is hand-picked and crushed on-site within 24 hours. The Farm Store tasting room provides you with the opportunity to taste the full range of Whirlwind products - Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fused Olive Oil and cured olives.
When owners Imre and Sue Mencshelyi began planning a move from corporate/city living to get back to their roots back in 2002, little did they know the adventure that awaited them. There is so much activity taking place at the estate at any one time, so they named it “Whirlwind”.
Whirlwind Olives and Oil is a family-owned and run estate, using planet-friendly techniques to deliver superior, yet affordable products. Whirlwind produces a range of fused oils, using the italian agrumato method where the olive and fruit or herb are crushed together - Lemon, Orange, Basil, Rosemary, Garlic, Chilli and Chilli Burner.
Whirlwind Extra Virgin Olive Oil is available in bottle form or for bulk purchase - the varieties they grow are WA Mission, Paragon and they produce a blend of those two varieties called 60/40. Their cured olives are available in brine or marinated using their fused oils.

I entered a small neat showroom and met the owner who offered a sample of her products. My favourite has to be the infused oils. All the oils have a lingering flavour which I like. The ones I bought from the supermarket were too mild. I ended up buying 3. The orange infused oil would taste really good roasting chickens. The garlic flavoured oil is perfect for garlic bread and pasta. Had I got more budget, I would have bought a lot! I highly recommend the infused oils.

Lovely little olive farm shop selling all types of naturally infused cold pressed oils and beautiful plain extra virgin olive oils with a wonderful selection of balsamic vinegars not to mention the absolutely delicious cherry balsamic that I happen to be addicted to. Wonderful little place to visit along the highway

It's been 4 years since we discovered this place and it's still as good as the first time we tried it. Excellent service and the best garlic oil we have ever tasted. We'll definitely be looking at joining their delivery service to keep ourselves well stocked.
