Our Story
Founded in 2013, Antalya Olive Ranch is located in Antalya city known as ‘pearl of Mediterranean’. With more than 2,000 trees of Turkish and Italian varietals we produce fruit for our extraordinarily evoo .
In 2014, we planted 60 acres of new olive orchards, purchased an olive mill, and formed a partnership with a neighbor to begin milling a premium extra virgin olive oil under the Rafaela Olive Oil brand name, another local company established in 2015.
Today, we work with 24 local residents to run the company, including over 400 acres of olive trees ,some of them the old-time table olive orchards in town as well as our 21th century high density and medium density plantings.
We are the farmer and miller for 19 olive varieties for premium extra virgin olive oil for the Rafaela brand that we private label both here and overseas grown, milled and bottled in Antalya, Turkey.

EXPERIENCE THE RANCH
SURROUNDED BY TREES, PONDS, VINEYARDS, AND WILDLIFE, THE VIEWS ON OUR ESTATE ARE
SPECTACULAR AND RELAXING.
As you enter our Bunny Gate, you are immediately overcome by a sensation of being transported somewhere else.
Maybe this started when you drove up our windy narrow road. Maybe it began when you spotted a doe and her two fawns feeding. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Kas , our idyllic setting is the perfect way
to enjoy country living less than two hours from Antalya.
We have several options to explore our sprawling ranch and strongly recommend that you visit us seasonally to capture the beauty of Mother Nature at each time. Bring your camera, good friends, and comfortable shoes. There’s much to discover.
Interested in something beyond a sit-down tasting at our table? We offer enchanting private or public walkabout tours and special workshops throughout the year. As well, we can accommodate private events.
Don’t take our word for it. We work here every day and still are enamored with the boundless beauty.
