Emu Ridge is a unique attraction where you can learn how Australian Eucalyptus Oil is made, from the past to the present.
Eucalyptus oil was Australia’s first true export overseas and one of Kangaroo Islands major industries. Emu Ridge is now the only remaining commercial eucalyptus oil distillery in South Australia and is proud to have preserved a major part of Kangaroo Island’s heritage and history, producing eucalyptus oil that is unique to the world.
The award-winning Emu Ridge site has an excellent retail outlet that offers an extensive range of local produce, art, craft and historical memorabilia. Emu Ridge manufactures and retails Eucalyptus oil and a large range of associated natural products.
They also offer guided and self-guided tours that take visitors through the distillery.
Emu Ridge has a cafe area that offers meals, light snacks, coffee and drinks. There is also the cellar door where you can try their award-winning Kangaroo Island Cider. They have indoor and two large outdoor eating areas, including a picnic area, which are also available for events. The dining area offers a fully licensed bar.
Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery is a family and pet-friendly venue.
