Pridham Viticulture extends our expertise to olive harvesting, supporting McLaren Vale’s growing olive industry.
Our methods reflect the same commitment to quality and efficiency as in our vineyard services, whether for super high-density or traditional olive groves.

Our experienced team provides full-service support, from setup to transport. We use specialised tools that enable rapid harvesting and minimise impact on trees, offering:
- High-capacity olive rakes for fast and precise collection
