Tastes of the Mediterranean
with Australian, home-grown quality
We grow our key ingredients in Ampitheatre, Victorian Pyrenees region. Approximately 150 km north-west from Melbourne, the area is known for its sweeping views, and is an ideal growing region for olives because of its fertile soil and favourable climate. The Pyrenees foothills and ranges, a southern extension of the Great Dividing Range, creates a remarkable diversity of microclimates providing a wealth of variety for us and many neighbouring winemakers. Known for its extensive rolling hills and tremendous scenery, the Pyrenees is known as the 'natural garden of Victoria' which makes it a very popular Australian tourist area.
About the
Gavarnie name
Our name is a homage to Gavarnie in the Haute Pyrenees of southern France. The road to Gavarnie is spectacular and steep and ends in the town which has been well known for centuries as a holiday retreat in both summer and winter. Its remarkable fame comes from the spectacular natural Amphitheatre formed by the peaks around it. A good friend who visited us while we were trying think of a name for our property and label suggested it because of the co-incidence of names around us. We are located in the Victorian Pyrenees district and, like the real Gavarnie, just outside of Amphitheatre, a town named for the nearby natural feature, though not quite as spectacular as the real thing I urge you to put Gavarnie on your European itinerary. These happy coincidences made our name an obvious choice for us.
