McEvoy Ranch is a spectacular place that is surrounded by olive orchards, ponds, and wildlife. It has both advantages and disadvantages. My personal SWOT analysis is listed below: Strength: *Famous in California *It offers tours, tastings, workshops, and sells wines *Pioneering Olive Oil *Award-Winning Quality *Historical Significance *Sustainability & Organic Farming *A seat-down outdoor area with scenery for any occasion *Outlet shop in downtown Petaluma Weakness: *The place is in a remote area *The olive oil testing fee is pricey compared with other places we visited in Paso Robles California *Skin products are large and heavy for tourists to take on an airplane or carry on *The table turnover rate is lower than restaurants with food consumption *No restaurant or delicatessen available *They need to hire more staff to maintain the quality of their property Opportunities: *If customer satisfaction is high *If they have good marketing strategies *Not many competitors nearby *More demand *Skin product choices are variable Threats: *If people are not familiar with olive products, they may not like this place *Customers may occupy the tables for a long time during peak season or times *Other places or similar products may have better quality at a lower price with generous portions *An alternative option in the food industry, suppliers, and cosmetics companies Overall, it's a great place to hang out on any occasion with family or small groups. The outdoor area is beautiful and relaxing. Since it is an open space, it could be very hot in summer or cold in winter, or during the rainy season. Moreover, this ranch is also not very noticeable to international tourists. We found it because during the New Year's holiday, many places are closed. So we googled this place while we were staying at the Hampton Inn Petaluma. We are from San Luis Obispo, California. There are many olive oil farms nearby. We not only visited the farms but also tasted the olive oil at a little fee or sometimes even for free.
Food was good service was excellent and the ambiance made everything taste even better. Lovely people with great customer service and very personable. We went for Mother's Day. Glad we had reservations. We had wine tasting along with food tasting. Everything was good and beautifully presented. Afterwards, we went into the gift shop and purchased lotions and the best ginger jam that paired well with Brie. The tastings were ample and a nice selection. It was pricey, but for a special occasion, worth it. The Ode body butter is the best I had to get another jar. It is really moisturizing and lasts a long time. I prefer the "verde" scent. They have lavender, and unscented too. very relaxing vibe.
Incredible day out on the ranch. My parents are about 30mins away and well worth the drive. Slow pace on a Monday allowing us to soak in the ranch and we tasted the gelato and olive oils, very tasty any 3 people can share this easily 4. We tired both the reserve and red wine tasting. Protip:They will bring others to try if you have questions about which flight is best. Also ask for a side of bread with the gelato and oil
Freaking love this place! So hard finding a place that has something to do for pregnant people . Took Husbie here for his bday ! It was such a beautiful day & the place was breathtaking. Love that you have a beautiful view overlooking nature and the pond . The service here was great ! Chris was super helpful & gave us the best service . He made our visit amazing & really enjoyed our conversations with him. We did the honey and cheese tasting $45. The cheeses were so good & the honey paired nicely with the Chevre & Brie. We also did the gelato & olive oil tasting $35 which is a must since it was super warm . They were paired with 3 olive oils . My favorite wasnthe Chai. We also did the non alcoholic tasting $22 which came with 2 Rose's & 2 shrubs of your choice . I wasn't a big fan of she shrubs since they tasted like Kombucha to me but i loved the Rose's . My absolute favorite . I will come back again since I really enjoyed our time here. Such a gem of a place.
LOVE visiting McEvoy Ranch when in wine country, it can even be a destination. This is almost a sanctuary for us that we share with friends and family after my cousin stumbled upon it and we went to explore one afternoon. We visit Petaluma often and always make a point to make a trip out to the ranch to pick up some great olive oil and enjoy an afternoon away from the rush of the real world. It is extremely gorgeous and peaceful here, the food is always impeccable, the tastings are unique and the service is wonderful. Must book a reservation for any tasting or lunch (48 hours in advance) unless you are just doing a quick boutique stop for some olive oil, incredible choices for cheese, Salumi, tapenades, skincare or wine. I have been such a fan of McEvoy Ranch since they had a storefront at The Ferry Building in SF. Love all their EVOO, the wine stop pourers, and their Verde line of moisturizers is divine.
Stopped by McAvoy Ranch to pick up their Mustard trio. I stayed for a food tasting. I'm so glad I did. First the drive to the property is beautiful. As the gate opens you're greeted by a beautiful property filled with Olive Trees. We were greeted by a lovely young woman who was super kind. My wife and I both have a gluten allergy, Celiac, and we asked about their food menu. She said she could modify the menu to meet our needs. We stayed for the "Under The Sun Chef's Tasting". It was absolutely delicious. We sat on the edge of the pond, which provided a beautiful view of their property. They substituted one dish that had gluten for a delicious cheese. The green goddess salad was amazing and the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes wonderful. We also shared a "Tapas Tasting" which featured amazing almonds, cheeses, and an artichoke dip they sell inside. My wife had a glass of sparking and I had a Willow Vermentino. Both paired well with the food. If you're looking for a calm inviting atmosphere, check out MaEvoy Ranch. Nice people, great tasting menu of food and cheeses. This place is a gem. Check out the photos I posted.
Huge olive farm with beautiful outdoor seating - serving food, wine and olive oil pairings. We had the gelato with olive oil pairing on a warm autumn day - perfection! And yes, we had wine also
We went here for our team building and i love everything about it! First the ranch is just so breezy, breathtaking and beautiful! We did breath work in a very beautiful pagoda! The details of the architecture was so thorough and well thought out! There is a giant garden that houses about 5,000 flowers! There is another room with Elton John's red piano signed by him! After our breath work, we felt restored and refreshed and we had our olive oil tasting and wine tasting! The olive oil selection were all amazing! I love the citrus infused one! We had sparkling rose and pinot noir and both are very good! We also went to the shop to buy something for home and I got the olive oil lotion. Its smooth and creamy on the hands! The staff assigned to us is amazing! She is very helpful and accommodating! Cant wait to go back with my girls and try their long dinner service at night!
Beautiful pastoral location!!!! It feels like a different world than city life. We came during January, which is a slower time of year, and so we didn't need a reservation nor was it busy. The wine is wonderful, but the olive is the BEST anywhere. The customer service was relaxed and friendly. The gift store has my favorite ODE products I order online. The face oil is the best on the market.
Service went well! Beautiful place to visit! Bought some wine and oil. Unfortunately went on a Tuesday and they were closed for a tasting. Fortunately they attended us at their store even though, due to an appointment they had. Got to walk around a bit. Lovely place. Will return for a tasting and tour.
This olive oil ranch is worth going to located right outside of Petaluma it has history, art , gardens architectural beauty and wonderful olive oil and wines. My friend was celebrating her birthday . She has discriminating taste and took us to this beautiful place. We had a great tour guide she knew a lot about art, history , wine, olive oil and about some of the plants. It had a great outside area that you could taste olive oil and wine. It is a worthwhile stop if you're in the area.
What a find! I was recommended to come here by a friend and was blown away! It's a bit of a drive out of Petaluma but gorgeous drive. All outdoor seating with fire pits and adirondack chairs that made it relaxing, with stunning views of the pond and surrounding hills. We ordered the valentines special tasting menu and loved the small bowls of multiple bites - the pot de creme was the best! We also did a wine tasting and enjoyed their reds, as well as the rose they greeted us with. And I loved the shop inside where you pay! Wine, bath products, specialty food items, Id come back just for the shop! I've told many people about this place already and I can't wait to come back.
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful tour and olive oil tasting at McEvoy's this week. Our tour guide was very engaging and we learned about the incredible life that Nan, the ranch's founder, had. The property is beautiful and the product is fantastic. The service for the tasting was impeccable. We enjoyed every part of it. Highly recommend!
Fell in love with their olive oil skincare ever since I visited their ranch. The balms are luxurious and absorb nicely. I found the facial cleansing balm to be superior to the versions from Elemis and Peter Roth Thomas. You can order their products online. Some of their body care products are also at Filoli's gift shop. read more

Had a lovely lunch with an incredible view at McEvoy Ranch today. We tasted a flight of olive oils and wines with our delicious entrees. Our server, JoJo, was fantastic. She explained the history of the property and where all of the locally sourced ingredients came from. What a special day! Reserve in advanced for an exceptional experience. read more

What a fantastic experience. Whoever thought of pairing olive oils and gelato is a flat out genius. Always good to try new things, especially in such a beautifully serene place. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more
Without a doubt we'll return sooner than later. We did not have a reservation so just walked around a little, asked some questions. The signs are very clear "Reservations" required. Looking forward to olive oil tasting. BTW; after your visit keep driving west and try the Marin French Cheese company, not far from McEvoy Ranch. read more

The location is beautiful! So picturesque. Mike gave us a fantastic tour-- so much interesting history behind the family owners, so many interesting elements including how olive oil is harvested and manufactured--not your average tour. Emily was a super star -- was welcoming and accommodating to our group like no other location in wine country. Winery tours are a dime a dozen. This tour, in contrast, plus wine plus olive oil tasting was a great combination--truly unique. read more
This was the prettiest venue I've ever been to. The drive there was so beautiful. You go through a gate and there is parking in front of the tasting area. We were greeted with sparkling water and water. We were seated and ordered the olive oil tasting. There are other tasting options and food/dessert, but we came for the olive oil tasting. The olive oil was so delish. Our favorite was lemon and basil. It was so breathtaking there and we will definitely be back for a full ranch tour. read more

Came here for a wine tasting for my birthday. My friend treated me since he has a membership. The staff was so nice and hilarious. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the wine!! It was so good I ended up buying a bottle. The little gift shop was so cute we ended up getting some cbd products. We also tried the olive oil and that was a lot of fun too. Cannot wait to come back to do the whole tour read more

Came here for a day trip and it was a wonderful day filled with beautiful scenery and olive oil. We did the olive oil tasting and seasonal cheese sampler. The service was great, our server spent a lot of time with us, sharing the history behind the ranch. This place is pet friendly and they were so welcoming to my dog. Just note that pets aren't allowed in the milling room of the tour, so you may have to wait outside with your pet (food safety and cleanliness mandates). I would recommend pre-downloading google maps prior to your trip since there may not be cell service in the surrounding areas. read more
Pretty lake and estate. I came by without an appointment, and they were so nice to still accommodate us. Really nice property with a lake. We were able to try a few wines and ended up buying the 2017 Cab. Great service and very knowledgeable. read more

A hidden gem! Where else can you find both the options of either an olive oil tasting or wine tasting at the same place. A peaceful, quiet location; you get to enjoy the hillsides of Petaluma and the view of the olive groves. The reserve olive oil tasting let's you taste the extra virgin, the cooking, blood orange, basil, and garlic with nice, crusty bread. The option to add meals to your tasting is a great choice to enjoy the day with your tasting. The service is super friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely want to try more of their varieties of olive oils. They also have various products made from their oils also. read more
Came here a few weekends ago with my family for wine tasting. It was everyone's first time visiting this place and we were so pleased with the ambiance and got to sit under a tent set up and decorated for Christmas. We decided to also do an olive oil tasting along with our wine tasting and also purchase some cheese and crackers. Everything was delicious and we went home with some small bottles of olive oil ( the lemon and jalapeno were everyone's favorite). The service was wonderful as was the view around the back. They even had a farmers market with tons of fresh produce, and sister bought a whole bunch of veggies to take home with her. We can't wait to come back again and have another memorable experience. read more

When we arrived, we were welcomed, given a taste of blush wine, then taken to a lovely patio table with a lovely pond view. We had reservations for one olive oil tasting and lunch. I wasn't sure how much to order for lunch and had over ordered. Our waiter, Michael was super helpful and explained it to us. So we backed out a few items. The potato leak soup was fabulous and served in their McElvoy mug, a delicious salad and corn muffin came with it too. It was so delicious. We finished with the citrus tart. OMG that was so fabulous order your own, do not share, that is a mistake I made. We bought three of the delicious oils, and we had to have the mug, perfect shape for soup or a great cup of tea/coffee. I added a white wine tasting for fun, the Chardonnay, was out of my comfort bit definitely worth tasting and buying a bottle. They are very laid back here which makes the experience even more enjoyable. We will be back in the spring and bringing our daughter and son in law. read more
The scenery and land of this winery is amazing. I appreciate how you can sit down at a table u set umbrellas and enjoy your wine flights while taking in the scenery and the products from lotion to olive oil to jams to wine are amazing. Kind folks and we have had Chris twice now back in August and now September. He's knowledgeable, funny, helpful and kind. I like the choices of wine from sparkling to rose to Pinot noir. And personally I'm a fan of the Sonoma/Marin area wineries vs Napa because of these choices. And this time around we had the lavash choices. Yummy. read more

McEvoy ranch has always welcomed my well behaved dog who sits by my chair, doesn't bark and is always on a leash. They usually return phone calls fairly promptly so it may be good to check. It's sad that other venues that have been dog friendly…
