Residing in Apple Hill right off 50, this delightful winery taproom offers a warm and inviting…read moreatmosphere both indoors and out. With a wood-fired pizza oven perfect for hosting special occasions, guests can enjoy the rustic charm while savoring a glass of their finest wines and ciders. Convenient amenities such as outdoor seating and a cozy indoor area provide the perfect setting for any wine lover to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Upon my frequent visits to this winery, I've found my collection of glassware growing steadily, thanks to the complimentary tasting glasses provided with each visit. Rather than simply accumulating more glassware, I now find myself yearning for a gesture of appreciation for my loyalty, such as having my flight tasting fee waived as a token of recognition. While the prices of their wines may be slightly higher compared to neighboring establishments, the option to trade bottles in exchange for a discount has significantly influenced my decision-making process. Without this option, I may have been tempted to explore other wineries in search of a new favorite spot. Overall, this winery's welcoming staff and unique offerings make it a standout destination in the region. *I did notice, however, that the red wine I sampled at the winery seemed more developed than the bottle I later purchased. **As you pull into the parking lot, you notice a lone portapotty standing in the corner. The sun beats down on its blue exterior, tempting you with the promise of quick relief. But as you weigh your options, a thought niggles in the back of your mind - a flushable toilet awaits at the bottom of the hill. Will you brave the descent for a more luxurious experience, or opt for the convenience of the trusty portapotty?

We did a tasting while sitting on the outside veranda overlooking the vineyards and mountains. Their wines are delicious. We especially enjoyed their Chêne Pinot Noir, delicious! If you choose, you can pair some bites to go with your tasting. We didn't do this, but imagine it would definitely elevate your experience if you choose to make a selection from the menu. Unfortunately it was one of the last days of our visit to the area and we had no room in our luggage to take a bottle home, but if you are local, we recommend grabbing some bottles and visiting them!

Hwy 50 Brewery has live music on weekends, so Nello Olivo stays open later to match their hours. 8 PM on Fridays & Saturdays and 7 PM on Sundays!!! I don't have to leave Apple Hill around 5 or 6 PM anymore. What a wonderful and inviting place to do a wine tasting! I received such gracious service from Mark and another male bartender. I was allowed several free sample sips before deciding what to order. If you want a proper tasting flight with a tray of 5 wine glasses (filled with 2 ounces or about an inch up the wine glass?), it costs $25 if you want to sit and drink at a table and only $15 if you are willing to stand and taste at the bar, assuming the bar isn't too busy. A glass of wine is $10 and a glass of premium wine is $20, as of 7/29/2023. There is also a Yelp check-in offer for a $15 flight of 5 wines. Mark recommended the 2020 PRIMITIVO, which is his favorite and ended up being my favorite. Smooth. The MALBEC was my 2nd favorite for its flavor. I also tried the Sangiovese, Barbera, Sinfonia, Chardonnay, and Cali Mojo. Kept on tap, the Cali Mojo tasting was ample and was served over ice cubes. So refreshingly sweet, fruity, and bubbly that I ended up ordering it! I was slow to realize you could order the CALI MOJO in colorful cans to take home. I should have done that. It's a lovely wine spritzer or wine soda. You can purchase snacks to go with your tasting. I forgot to take a look at the charcuterie offerings in a fridge, but the sweet treats are only 2 for $1. These include individually wrapped Ferrero Rocher, Madeleine cookies, and brownie bites. Very reasonably priced and thoughtful. You could also buy food from Hwy 50 Brewery next door (i.e., pizza, hot dogs, tacos, salad, fries), and you're welcome to wander, sit, drink, and listen to live music over there. Nello Olivo also sells attractive and affordable gifts. A cute blanket with cats or a pretty swimsuit or beach cover-up costs $20-$25. $6 bracelets. $8 dangling earrings. Nello Olivo is conveniently located less than 2 miles away from Boa Vista Orchards on Carson Road. I didn't realize Camino was that close. The parking lot is quite large and long, but I imagine it could get full if it's packed. Nello Olivo is in a plaza within walking distance of several other wine tasting rooms and restaurants. Do your fun wine tasting here!

My personal favorite was the Artichoke Florentine because the mint pesto is so refreshing for the summer. I also appreciate the low alcohol options, as it allows me to join in the fun despite my alcohol sensitivity.

We truly couldn't have started his birthday any better. As for the food, I was a bit bummed that there wasn't a lunch or more robust meal offering. It slightly diminished the overall poshness of the experience, as we would have loved something beyond charcuterie while enjoying the wine. That said, we still had a wonderful time--and even became members--so that says a lot. I do hope they expand their food options in the future. If you're looking for a great atmosphere and delicious wine, I would absolutely recommend checking them out.
