I love Olive Oil. The staff chooses four combinations of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar for $10. The pairings are perfection. You can make your own choosing or the staff can choose for you of her choice. OMG, they are so good. I will come here again and try more. read more

I received this olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a gift from my neighbor. All of it is delicious. I especially love the strawberry balsamic! I have made many homemade dressings with it. I'm looking forward to one day venturing here myself! read more

The concept of olive oil tasting was new to us, so when we heard it, we wanted to give it a try and went to Olive Hill farm to try it out. It was a $10 fee for a wine tasting or the tasting was free if we bought some of their products. For the $10 fee you get a lot of options from their wide range of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, as well as bread to dip it in. We also had the option to look around their store and taste different flavors they hadn't originally offered as well. We really enjoyed the experience and experimenting with the different flavors they had to offer and it was really fun and tasty experience. We ended bringing home a bottle of their strawberry balsamic and dark chocolate balsamic. The staff were all super nice and knowledgeable and would definitely recommend checking this place out read more

The oil tasting was experience was phenomenal. Juan Carlos really helped us match the different combinations between these oils and vinegars. We ended up buying four different bottles of oils and vinegars bc the experience was so memorable. Highly recommend you stop by this place and ask for Juan Carlos to put together some great combinations for you. An absolute must!!!! read more

I had such a fun time olive oil tasting at Olive Hill Farm's tasting room in downtown Los Olivos! There were so many different flavors, and when I asked our host for the most popular tasting options, I was surprised to hear they were blood orange and cranberry pear. I tried both, and then also sampled some savory options as that's what I was looking for. My favorite local oil was the savory garlic olive oil and for the imported option, the truffle oil was amazing. I did not like the sundried tomato olive oil and was surprised to read that canola oil and sunflower oil were ingredients. While tasting, my boyfriend and I noticed they offered ice cream topped with oils and vinegar. Intrigued, we ordered the chocolate ice cream with blood orange oil and chocolate balsamic. We hadn't really liked the blood orange oil with bread, but wow was it an amazing combo with ice cream! Overall, a great spot in Los Olivos that does not involve wine drinking and we appreciate that it was dog friendly. read more

I had about an hour before my friends were going to meet me for lunch nearby so I went and did an olive oil tasting. The young lady that helped me was supremely knowledgeable about all things olive oil. She paired each olive oil with a vinegar and served it with a basket of soft, yummy bread. I devoured every single olive oil and while I wanted to buy more than one, I decided to limit myself to my most favorite of all--the jalapeño infused olive oil. I highly recommend this place. They have a great patio to sit outside and enjoy the day. Alas, I forgot to snap a photo because I was so present in my thoroughly pleasant olive oil, tasting experience! read more

We popped in a few time to pick up some olive oils from the shop. They also offer tasting which is a nice touch and help with what you like. The selection they offer is great. Just the different flavors alone were worth it. The variety use for tasting, dips, cooking and so on. There's something for everyone. It's also a cute kilt tea shop with seating outside overlooking the town. read more

Our must visit every time in Los Olivos. Best tasting bar, best vinegars, and best oils. Personal faves are the light vinegars- Grapefruit, champagne, and apricot. read more

$10 tasting fee is waived if you purchase 2 bottles (which you will, because this is the good stuff). The bread for dipping was so fluffy and yummy that I was tempted to take the rest home with me. The store clerk was friendly and knowledgeable about which oil/vinegar pairs best with certain dishes. read more

Discovered our favorite Olive Oil thanks to Olive Hill Farm. The selection and service are wonderful. We initially chose the Romanelli Silver Dove because it's local but the flavor made it our favorite for salads or with cheese. Excellent! read more

I make it up to Los olivos/solvang a few times a year, and sometimes I just want to be a fancy tourist and enjoy an indulgent tasting. This morning I had the opportunity to duck in and try a veritable Smorgasbord of olive oils here. Kylie was a phenomenal post, who explained each oil and balsamic with care, and made the entire experience not only super pleasant but incredibly fun! read more

BEST Olive Oil shop around! Proprietors Taylor and Janelle are phenomenal -- so knowledgeable, kind, creative, not pushy at all. The new sparkling shrub beverages and the ice cream topped with olive oil and vinegar are so delicious and creative and such a unique experience. The membership is absolutely worth it. We use our oils and vinegars on a daily basis and they bring that "something extra" to every meal. read more

Had a great tasting here with friends this past weekend! The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable, offering up pairings and lots of bread. The Tuscan Herb was a personal favorite, I didn't even know so many flavors of vinegar and olive oil existed. Definitely pay them a visit between wine tastings if you're in the area. read more

Last week, after doing some wine tasting, we stopped in Los Olivos and found this gem. Taylor was amazing and set us up with an assortment of paired, flavored olive oil and vinegar samples. We ended up buying a few bottles because they were so tasty. . We also bought some awesome jarred lemon pickles. Im not a huge pickle fan, but in one week the jar was empty. She also introduced us to really great freshly made and refreshing spritzers, made with the oils and vinegars. Definitely recommend making this a stop when you're in the area! read more

Wonderful oils and vinegars available. Picked up some locally grown and processed olive oils from their farm and a neighboring farm. They also offer imported aged balsamic which always goes well with anything! read more

Went this summer and had an amazing time. The owner was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Great testing, can't wait to go back.

Yrsterday, we ended up in Los Olivos for our 25th wedding anniversary as we celebrated with our kids, and always make a stop at this sweet little shop. Taylor was able to help us find the most delicious flavor combinations for our oil and vinegar tasting! Their shop always has other goodies that we love to bring home, and this time was no different... we came home with lemon pickles (seriously, so delicious and refreshing!) And pickled jalapeño and habanero onions! The recommendation from Taylor was to put them on avocado toast. Omg, put it on avocado toast... legit suggestion! Finally, we tried the vinegar beverage and decided to go on a limb, and we were so pleasantly surprised! (We had a pineapple one and also tried the raspberry vinegar drink as well, and all 5 of us liked different ones for different reasons.) But, I would be remiss to not mention the sweet mascot, Ray, their sweet dog who so patiently and politely lounge outside and was such a well behaved dog that he made me wonder if he was a service dog! He was great with little kids and other dogs as well. A perfect boy! As you can tell. Taylor made this an unforgettable experience in her store, and I can't say enough kind words about this store that we continually visit on our trips here. Hint: try the apricot vinegar and if you're feeling brave, pair it with the jalapeño oil! Either is stand alone delicious, but my goodness... those are our favorite oil/vinegar! The other items are delicious, too. You really can't go wrong! Thank you again for being the icing on our cake yesterday! read more

The tastings were phenomenal! The service was great, Michelle was awesome. Ambiance id very cute and well designed. The Tuscan herb and glazed onion won us over. Took some bottles home! Will be coming back! read more

I'm a fan. Every time I come out to the area I try to stop by. It's a great little break from wine tasting and the oils and vinegars are tasty. Everyone I've had a tasting with were super friendly, informative, and helpful. My fave items are the 10 and 25 year aged balsamic. The habanero oil has a great kick but not overwhelming and the fruitiness of the pepper still comes out. They have a Spanish olive oily that was nice (buttery and lightly grassy). The lemongrass and the peach vinegars have a nice distinct flavors, fresh, with a smooth tang and not not overly sugary. They blood orange oil is bold but balanced and a slight bitterness (in a good way). I usually use them for salad dressing or dipping bread. We had used one of the sweeter fruit balsamic with ice cream and cake before, super good too. They say a bottle should be good for 2 years unopened or 8mt opened. After that the flavors could diminish, and of course with any oil the oil itself could get old. But I've been able to keep mine for longer, properly stored at home :) read more

Such a great place in Los Olivos. I loved tasting the varieties of olive oils and vinegars they sell here. The olive oils are wonderful here, great quality and taste. I love cooking and making fresh salads and this place was perfect for me. I bought few bottles and can't wait to try it at home to create something delicious. Will be back on my next visit to Solvang and Los Olivos. read more

This place is becoming one of our regular destination spots when we go to Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort in SLO. We really enjoy the visit here every time, very friendly staff, cozy tasting room/store front, and delicious olive oils and balsamic vinegars. $5 tasting comes with a big piece of baguette for dipping in five cups of oils/vinegars. You can simply pick five items, or you can also try five "personal" blends of oil/vinegar. So the possibility is almost endless :-) I asked to taste "least grassy oil", "vinegar to go with that", "most unusual oil", "vinegars to mix with sparkling water". I wanted to purchase all but I took Nero Del Gallo Olive Oil (most unusual) and Cranberry Pear Balsamic Vinegar (to go with sparkling water and more). I recommend this place to anyone who visit the small town of Los Olivos!! read more

What a hidden gem in Downtown Los Olivos! They have DOZENS of different flavored olive oils and balsamics. I highly recommend doing a tasting, where you can select five olive oils or balsamic vinegars. The Honey Ginger is by far my favorite. It's great for salads or as a chicken marinade. They have fruit-infused, herb-infused, sweet, spicy ... you name it! If you don't find the flavor you're looking for here, it probably doesn't exist! read more

We are locals and make regular pilgrimages to stock up on oils and balsamics. Our favorite oils include Tuscan herb, rosemary, and basil - they go with pretty much anything. Among our favorite balsamics are cranberry pear, honey ginger (makes a fantastic mignonette for oysters), fig and glazed onion. The glazed onion is THE best when drizzled along with basil oil on caprese salad made with garden fresh heirloom tomatoes. We literally eat that twice a day during tomato season! When you need a break from wine tasting, do yourself a favor and pop in to taste the oils and vinegars. You will not leave empty handed. read more

The olive oil and balsamic vinegar options are so numerous, but you can do a tasting to help narrow down your purchases. We love visiting with Taylor when we go on. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

You read that right! An olive oil tasting for $5. Paired with the most delicious warm Sourdough baguette. You are served an assortment of oil and balsamic flavored samples. Don't miss the basil, Tuscan herb, champagne and peach balsamic. Wowza! It's a great way to refresh your wine soaked palate. Our tasting room server was wonderful (I think Janelle was her name) you have to buy a pairing to take home. We did! read more

We stopped in for some samples and are hooked now! We ended up buying olive oil, vinegar and Bloody Mary elixir. This will definitely be a stop when we go back. read more

Olive Hill Farm. We visited this wonderful business in Los Olivos CA. This was during our annual pilgrimage to the Central California wine region. We came in , and had to wait . No problem, the place was jamming and the staff were sooo nice. My spouse and I tried multiple samples of craft olive oil and vinegars we ended up loving ( see Pic) . This will be an annual visit. It's nice to have a destination other than wine tasting . Not that there's anything wrong with that read more

After seeing the 60 Minutes special on Olive Oil fraud, I can tell you I take purchasing any Olive Oil a lot more serious than I did a few months ago whether local grown or imported from Italy. We stopped in Olive Hill Farm since I was going easy on the wine tasting. This business is a wonderful example of how you can still have a lovely time in the area even if you aren't tasting lots of wine. Tastings are $5 for 5 selections of vinegars and oils of your choice. I've visited several other places that offer free tastings on all oils and vinegars so I'd have to say $1 a tasting seems to be a pretty hefty price tag for an area such as this where wine tastings are so reasonably priced compared to the Napa region. I also noticed they waived the couples tasting before us with purchase but did not with my purchase. Hmmm, did he think we had more money than they did or? In my opinion, if you're going to waive tasting fees for some and not for others it should be done discreetly. My boyfriend and I both went about this in an amateur fashion, selecting what we wanted vs pairing 5 and 5 as a couple visitors did arriving as we were wrapping up. We selected a wide variety to try but in the end, Chipotle is what I purchased to bring home. I love spicy and this one really impressed me. We also tried: Lemon, Basil, Pesto, Sun Dried Tomato, and Truffle. Basil was good, Lemon was too strong for my taste and the latter three a bit bland. I think we also tried Peach which was just ok. The raspberry 10 year reserve balsamic was delish for dessert and a lot thicker than the others. I tried the blueberry vinegar was tasty but didn't completely win me over and I love blueberries. I may return in the future. Customer service was fine but lacking in energy. A nice stop if you are in the Los Olivos area tasting. read more

Every time I visit the Solvang area, I have to make a trip to Olive Hill Farm. If you are a foodie, the olive oil and vinegar tasting is a great activity to partake in. Not only to do you get to taste something delicious, but you also get to experience flavors you never thought would go together. Like lemongrass and rosemary? Who knew? The oils and vinegars make great gifts and are a hit when making your own dressings for friends and family. read more

During a bike ride through the Santa Ynez Valley, we had the pleasure of stopping at this quaint little store. While I use the word "little", the selection was anything but! My husband and I did a tasting of the olive oils and vinegars. We were allowed to choose anything we wanted and the proprietor, Taylor, gave us great suggestions when asked. She also did a wonderful job of pairing complementary things next to one another for our tasting. To make the experience great, we were brought warm slices of bread to use in the tastings. Once we were done, it was truly hard not to buy every item we tasted. We did buy several though, including the Tuscan olive oil and the strawberry vinegar. I also can't wait to open the Silver Dove olive oil we purchased. Funny enough, during this visit to wine country, we brought back more olive oil/vinegar than we did wine! read more

We had such an amazing and fun time doing some fast testing of various Olive oils and balsamic vinegars! If you're in the area I would definitely recommend stopping in.

All the tasting was delicious, and I bought several. Service was friendly, knowleable and attentive. Thank you for your time.

Olive oil and balsamic tasting in the town of Los Olivos. A pleasant and tasty surprise.

Look forward to visiting again. read more

We had family visiting from out of town and took them to the Olive Hill Farm store in Los Olivos and had an olive oil & balsamic vinegar tasting. It was so fun and tasty! We each chose 5 oils/vinegars and Malia brought out a lazy susan to us pairing the olive oils with the vinegars with some delicious bread for dipping. It was a wonderful experience! We bought some of our favorites to take home. We highly recommend the Olive Hill Farm and will definitely visit again. It is a perfect place to take out of town visitors and a great place to visit anytime. Thank you Malia for an amazing experience! read more

We came across this gem on a whim. It was open on a Monday. It is small and welcoming atmosphere and a experience we are still talking about. Tanya was a true professional with her offerings of tastings. Her flavor profile was on point and so was the experience. She even offered extra tastings when she could tell we simply could not get enough. There are so many delightful oils and vinegars for all different palettes! The hardest part of the day was deciding on a what choice to take home! read more

Very tasty olive oil. I get the plain in the large jug. They run out of this size so call before you go to make sure it's available:)

We stopped into Olive Hill Farm while in Los Olivos and WOW! The tasting consists of a little loaf of tasty bread and five tastes of oils and vinegars, so my husband and I both did one and we were able to taste ten ! We then added a tasting to taste more vinegars!! The owner was very sweet and helpful and needless to say we came home with quite an assortment!!
