This is an opportunity to learn about fascinating regenerative techniques, including permaculture, to improve soil health, as well as getting an insight into the operation of an avocado orchard. From here it’s a cross county hike through private property, including a bush walk and and historic pa site, to the estates of King Road with their olive groves and wine tastings.
