Celebrating Excellence: Oakhurst Olives at the 2026 SA Olive Awards

At Oakhurst Olives, true quality is a quiet, continuous pursuit. From the careful tending of the groves on Lemoendrif Farm in Tulbagh to the precise pressing and curing of each harvest, every step in the journey requires patience, dedication, and heart.

Wolseley Tourism celebrates along side our award winning members. Their ongoing commitment was recently celebrated at the 2026 SA Olive Awards, held at Grande Roche in Paarl, where Oakhurst Olives proudly brought home two Silver Awards:🥈Silver Medal – Oakhurst Delicate (Delicate Category)

🥈Silver Medal – Oakhurst Special Reserve (Medium Category)

For a family-run farm, standing alongside South Africa's finest producers is both an honor and a welcome moment of reflection.

Beyond the Medals: A Heartfelt Reflection

While receiving accolades is always a highlight, the recognition serves as a reminder of the passion and hard work that go into every bottle and jar. Following the announcement, the team shared their gratitude:"Grateful. Proud. And always striving for more. 🫒

Being part of the SA Olive Awards is about so much more than what happens on the day. For us, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do — and of the care, hard work and commitment that goes into every harvest and every Oakhurst Olive product.

We are incredibly grateful to our team, to the people who support our little family-run farm, and to an industry that continues to challenge and inspire us.

At Oakhurst Olives, we’ll always keep learning, improving and pushing ourselves to produce something we can genuinely be proud to put our name on. From our grove to your table, we’ll keep striving to do our very best. Here’s to the journey, the people behind it, and everything still to come."

" A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated farm team, loyal community, and the SA Olive Association for fostering excellence across the industry. Here’s to the journey ahead!"

From Grove to Table
