The tastings are all self-serve so you grab everything all at once and then find a table outside to enjoy your tastings. There is quite a bit of shaded outdoor seating as well as some tables in the trees which is so cool. You receive 20 olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings - and the tastings and sourdough bread are unlimited! Only downside, is they do not have any restrooms except for two porta potties, which was such a letdown. Overall, 5 stars and I can't wait to come back again with friends and family! Thanks, Ojai Olive Oil!

There are no tastings currently. Only a store called a "tasting room."…read more As of 1/30, the website and signs say the "tasting room" is open for business. Based on this, wife, dog and I made a three hour drive to the tasting room. Once there, staff stated tastings were paused due to permit issues for an indefinite time. Business and Professions Code 17500 prohibits false advertising to induce the public to patron businesses. Common sense and decency prohibits this. Staff offered ten percent off products and a voucher for future tasting visits. Staff stated customers should have called before arriving to confirm the website was accurate and that they had no responsibility. Staff was rude. No apologies just a stoic attitude with flippant responses. I purchased products without a tasting that was promised. Please update your website immediately. General public is being harmed. Incredibly disappointing experience.

I'm trying out 4 options this go around and they have a rewards program after 10 you get a free small bottle. Pricing is straight forward by size of bottle and they have other snack items as well. Chocolates and olives. I picked up some garlic stuffed Spanish olives that looked great. Friendly service, it is a small shop, one person doing all the work while I was there so be patient if someone else is ahead of you. The feel is like you're wine tasting and they will let you sample whatever peaks your interest.

Education. Tasting / Sampling. History. And ultimately upgrading your gourmet array for day to day…read morequality, health, and flavor. This store has been a transport vehicle into a better way to cook, prepare dishes and make sugarless mock-tails. The other five star reviews really say it all - and I am totally on board. Mary has taught me so much about olive oil. She let me and my wife taste so many too. The education on the health benefits and potency and seasons... I now own and use about 15 bottles of both oils and vinegars. My faves: Balsamics for mocktails- guava, gravenstein apple, watermelon Balsamics for salad - lemon, oregano, and champangne Oils - Madigascar black pepper, bahklavout peppers oil (spicy) many different varieties of cooking and fresh usage robust to medium. These oils make every single dish taste better. Antica and Mary (the owner) are both gems. Seriously drop in, get educated and enjoy the next phase of you gourmet journey. Upgrade your cooking scene and spend some time, energy and money at Antica. Ambiance: Obviously a beautiful and serene creative environment.

This review is for ordering through their website…read more I had an issue with an order that was delivered, and emailed Customer Service twice, but no one responded to my emails. I also attempted to call several times, but their phone appears to be permanently busy and voicemail is not available. I should have read the negative reviews before placing my order. I will not be ordering from here again, your products mean nothing if you don't have the customer service to back it up. Zero stars.

She and her daughter are so nice and created such a fun private event for us! They also prepared a delicious light lunch using the quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars they sell and educating us all about the health benefits of these products. This is not the same as the typical products sold at grocery store and definitely worth the splurge! They sell so many flavors of both olive oil & balsamic as well as other ingredients and super nice gift bundles too! We all took advantage of the opportunity to shop for ourselves and gifts with the discount they offer with the tasting. Highly recommend checking them out! I will be a repeat customer!

She gave suggestions on how to incorporate them into every day foods, which I've done and they are delicious! A little bit goes a long way. I'll definitely be back to purchase larger bottles.

Sometimes I just want a one-stop shop for a nice oil & balsamic gift set. That won't stop me from getting them here for myself though! PS - Encourage you to sign up for their rewards.

Pricing is a little high, but they do have a deal where you can buy 3 books and get the 4 lowest price book for free. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any of the books that are on my TBR list. I only found 1 book and decided it wasn't worth it at $7. However, I'm sure inventory changes quickly given they do have a lot of other books. It was also a little tricky getting here since parking is a little bit of a hassle given I'm no longer a local of Orange County. Pros: nice people, lots of seating around the store, and a restroom for customers.
