We have been to Santa Ynez valley for many many times but never knew about this place until last weekend during the Santa Barbara farm day. My husband and I stopped by to check them out. They sell olive oil, vinegar, honey, tomatoes and seasonal items. We were able to taste the olive oil before purchasing our favorite one. I also bought a lot of tomatoes. They were so good. Can't find it at the stores. We also purchased raw honey. Beautiful property with olive trees and horses. They were doing tours for farm day but we missed it. Friendly staff. Great find... will visit again. read more

Rancho Olivos - Olive Oil Near Me - Santa Ynez, California

Excellent choice of olive oils, vinegars and local honey at a pseudo roadside stand. They let you taste everything and have reasonable prices. Everything was delicious, making it difficult to choose just a couple to take home. There are a few of the friendliest pups roaming around who love pets. And dont forget to take carrots for the horse! read more

Stopped here after a wine tasting across the street and so glad we did! The flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars are incredible.

This is a nice olive oil stand. It's not an indoor location, it's a small stand on the road but they still have a good selection of oils and balsamics. I bought a miniature jalapeño olive oil and a rosemary olive oil. The rosemary olive oil was really good for cooking chicken, and I used the jalapeño olive oil to make eggs, which gave them a nice little kick. It's a simple spot but definitely worth stopping by if you like trying different olive oils. During your tasting, they provide you with small pieces of bread to dunk in your samples, yum! read more

Shannon is super friendly and knowledgeable about all things olive related (trees, oil, etc). Have been a fan of theirs for years. Do yourself a favor and make your way over for a visit. You won't be sorry! read more

This is truly a family owned orchard of olives harvested by the nicest couple and their daughters. Delicious oil and balsamic vinegar pairings. True rustic olive oil ranch where you can taste the freshness. And service with a smile. Worth the drive to this off the road hidden gem. read more

What a great little place to stop and taste Olive Oil and Vinegar! They had about 15-20 Olive Oils, Vinegars and Local Honeys to sample. They also had a Corgie and some friendly horses!! The tasting is free but we couldn't help but leave with 4-5 bottles of Oil and Vinegar so we could sample our way through the rest of our vacation! Yum! read more

Delicious assortment of oils, balsamic vinegar, jams and honey. Went with a friend and wasn't really planning on purchasing anything but after a tasting, couldn't leave without buying a large garlic oil and two balsamic vinegars. It was hard to choose. The flavors are incredible. Totally recommend. read more

Rancho Olivos - three bottles of olive oil - Olive Oil Near Me - Santa Ynez, California

Although the product is acceptable, customer service is EXTREMELY horrendous. I was rudely reprimanded by the workers (maybe owners) for something I did not do. It was extremely embarrassing and not necessary! My group stopped off to do a bit of olive oil tasting and because another person near us had tried the strawberry rhubarb jam, I decided to as well. The older lady harshly and rudely addressed me: "You're not supposed to open the jams. If you open them you've just bought that jar because there are no preservatives!" There was NO SIGN saying not to open the jar AND the container was already open!!!! If you don't want your customers to sample the jams, you need to put a sign up or tell your customers before hand! How am I supposed to know your policies when it's NOT clearly marked and you have a product that is CLEARLY already open? DO NOT blame customers for your inconsistent policy enforcement and communication failure! I understand policy, but I cannot abide by employee rudeness and lack of customer service. UNACCEPTABLE! If I could give 0 stars, I would. But I'm giving 1 star for TERRIBLE customer service and unwelcoming atmosphere! DO NOT GO HERE unless you like being treated condescendingly. read more

Searched for Olive Oil tasting on Yelp while driving through Los Olivos and came across numerous five star reviews for Rancho Olivos...and so glad we did! Loved our experience...great service, wonderful family-owned, farm stand...and awesome olive oil, vinegar and honey! Truly a charming, small farm stand...with big variety of lots of flavorful and wonderful olive oils. Our favorites were the Rosemary and Garlic...and loved our extensive tastings! 5-star experience...highly recommend! read more

This is a tiny farm stand that's rather easy to miss - but worth a visit! I came here for olive oil. The day I visited, a bunch of olive oil shops/farms were closed for some reason, and so we ended up here. I'm glad we did! The olive oils were really fragrant and they have a mini sized olive oils in case you want to try a few flavors. I went home with the garlic and lemon olive oils, as well as two unflavored ones. They do sample tastings so that you can try them. I forgot to ask whether their lemon and garlic are also grown on property but I am inclined to believe that they are, as the farm stand also sold garlic. The woman who helped me out also sent me home with a bag full of garlic for me to try growing at home, after hearing id had trouble with growing garlic in the last year! read more

Great spot to pick up some locally grown, pressed and bottled olive oil. They give you a tasting of their entire selection that allows you to pick which olive oil flavors are your favorite, and offer pairing and cooking suggestions for each flavor. Friendly owners who grow their 800+ olive trees right behind and around the stand. Worth the visit! read more

I was given a bottle from a friend after they visited the farm. i guess when you visit the location you will be enticed to buy some bottles. However one should be cautious and read if the oil is a blend or not. The one I got was a blend with no other information. It had nor the taste or the smell of olives. Considering the price, I would say it's over rated. read more

If you like olive oil and dogs, this is the place to be. You are greeted by a bunch of them as you drive in. All friendly and very cute. People that rescue dogs have a special place in my heart. They produce 3 or 4 different kinds of olive oil. One of them pressed with lemon. It is seasonal and we were really lucky they had them. The oils were all very good and comparable to good Italian extra virgin ones. With the exception that they were made right there. You could not get any fresher. It was a fun stop in our trip and I will go back every time we are in the area. read more

We've been here 3 times and always have enjoyed their rich full flavored olive oils. This time we purchased 3 different olive oils: our favorites were the Arbequina and the Italian blends. We've also bought the mini sampler set and we're able to customize it for each persons taste. We haven't tried their balsamic vinegars, however you can sample them as well. read more

Every time I make a trip out to Los Olivos, I always stop at Rancho Olivos to stock up on olive oils. On my last trip I purchased a few bottles and when I got home I realized there was a mistake with my order. I reached out to them and Shannon was very quick to respond and rectify the situation right away. I was blown away by the amazing customer service. My favorite is the Rosemary garlic and I'm excited to try the lemon. I'm always telling friends and family to check out this place for all the delicious oils and vinegars. I love Corgis, so the cute dogs are also an added bonus. read more

I can't help but smile when I think about my experience here. We were unexpectedly brought here on a wine tasting...picture this...driving down a non descript road then all of a sudden your car is being followed by the cutest dogs ever! Happiness levels = through the roof. Upon arrival we saw a cute stand with different olive oils and bread spread out and yes, the dogs were there too and I wanted to take them home with me! Now I am not someone to buy things on a whim but this olive oil was THAT GOOD. I bought a three pack, which included the garlic flavor - oh my - SO GOOD! Whenever I think about Rancho Olivos I smile. I hope to be back here someday. read more

We stumbled upon this spot as we were leaving Brander. We were greeted by two friendly Corgies. They had peaches and different flavors of olive oil to taste. It was unbelievable how juicy the peaches were! The young lady that helped us was a joy to talk to. We also tasted the garlic olive oil which was delicious! Needless to say, we left with bags of peaches and olive oil. read more

Love this place, stop by everytime we're in the SYV. Brought back a few bottles of their wonderful olive oils (garlic, jalepeno and meyer lemon). Love the doggies and the staff! Will be back again! Right between Brander and Vincent vineyards. read more

Roadside stand where you can sample some olive oil and balsamic vinegars. High quality stuff but @ $21.00 a pint it dang well better be. Some honey for sale too. The young girl who greeted us was very friendly and was able to answer all the questions about the oils and vinegars. We liked the olive oil at the farm in Ojai better and the experience/sampling was much nicer as well, plus they give you a short tour of the olive trees....and the olive oil is a bit more affordably priced. read more
