Rooted in family
ELEVATED BY VISION
GOULBURN VALLEY BEAUTY
Olivehouse at Greendale Grove is more than a venue — it is an expression of a family legacy, built on a deep connection to the land and a passion for producing exceptional olive oil and estate-grown produce.
Just 10 minutes from Shepparton in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley, this boutique property is home to one of the region’s leading olive oil producers, where premium extra virgin olive oil, infused oils and handcrafted olive products are created with care and authenticity.
Set amongst timeless surrounds, the estate brings together heritage charm, elevated hospitality and a genuine story of craft, flavour and place.

Our story
Founded in 2003, Olivehouse was purpose-built in a federation-inspired style to host beautiful gatherings in an equally beautiful setting.
It sits alongside Greendale Grove, our working olive grove and artisan oil brand, forming a unique blend of event space, estate-grown produce and regional experience.
Jacqui and Rob, along with Jacqui’s parents Rod and Anne, have lovingly grown this family business into a destination known for its warm hospitality, quality produce and ongoing evolution.
Today, Rob focuses on caring for the olive grove, producing our estate-grown extra virgin olive oil, and crafting all Greendale Grove gourmet products as a chef, while Jacqui leads the Olive Shop, ceremonies, photoshoots and hands-on care of the gardens and guest experience.
Together, they continue to shape Olivehouse as a place grounded in family, craft and connection.
2001 – IT ALL BEGINS
The Henry Family — Rod, Ann, and Jacqui — establish Greendale Grove at Kialla West after earlier planting 3,500 olive trees in Shepparton East. The new property already holds 2,000 thriving olive trees across five traditional varieties: Kalamata, Manzanillo, Verdale, Frantoio, and Nevadillo.

2002 – THE VISION GROWS
Another 1,200 olive trees are planted to encircle what will become The Olivehouse, shaping the landscape into a Mediterranean-inspired haven. The dream: to create a space where estate-grown olive oil, gourmet produce, and olive oil–based body products could be sold, savoured, and celebrated.
2003 – A NEW DESTINATION OPENS
The Olivehouse, along with the Greendale Grove Olive Shop, officially opens to the public — blending food, farming, and family into a unique hospitality experience.
2005 – A PERFECT PAIRING
Chef Rob Crifo (Jacqui’s partner) joins the team and becomes part of the family. Together, Rob and Rod manage the 50-acre olive grove with care and dedication — harvesting, pruning, and tending to every corner of the land.
2005–2026 – GROWTH, PASSION & REINVENTION
Over two decades, Olivehouse evolves — welcoming countless guests, refining its offerings, and growing stronger with each season. Rob’s kitchen creations become favourites: infused olive oils (Chilli, Basil, Lemon, Red Pepper & Balsamic) and pantry staples like Red Onion Chilli Jam, Sweet Balsamic Reduction, and Redgum Honey Mustard Seed Dressing.
TODAY – FAMILY OWNED, MADE AND OPERATED
Now operated by Jacqui and Rob, Olivehouse at Greendale Grove is a family-run destination shaped by a deep connection to the land, exceptional produce and thoughtful hospitality. Today, the business centres around our boutique Olive Shop, the care of our working olive grove, intimate ceremonies and elopements, and beautifully styled photography experiences.
Every detail reflects a hands-on approach and a shared passion for creating meaningful moments — whether through estate-grown olive oil and gourmet products, or the timeless beauty of the grove itself.
