    Had an amazing experience here. First off, they're dog friendly. Always appreciate places like this that welcomes our fur babes. They even have a small designated doggy play area if you want to leave your dog in there while you go select your olive oils since they are not allowed inside the actual room. Tastings are held outside. The drive up is really pretty . Parking lot is small but we got here during non peak hours and didn't have a problem but as soon as we left it was full. I was told usually close to closing and weekends they get busy. Lots of picnic tables and hanging swinging chairs to sit on. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. The olive oils were fantastic. Lots of good ones to choose from. We brought home the 1850, lemon, and traditional vinegerette. It was onl $15 for the tastings. Comes with a few loaves, and about 20 olive oil and vinegars. They give you more than enough, there was 4 of us and we shared this, Definitely a must do when in Ojai.

    Fun little tasting experience in a beautiful outdoor space. Been here on two different trips and plan to return again in the future. I wish there was more to do for guests here- like a tour of the facility or quick demo about making the oil. Highly recommend the Signature, Lemon, and Tuscan Herb!

    This is a great activity to experience in Ojai. Came to visit for Mother's Day weekend. Ojai Olive Oil is a quaint calm peaceful atmosphere where we enjoyed unlimited olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette tastings. In other reviews stated, they were generous with unlimited sourdough breads for the tastings. Not in my case, so of course I was a bit disappointed. We only had three small sourdough breads for our tasting which wasn't enough to try everything we wanted. Staff stated they were limited in how many breads to give out. We only stayed there for about an hour to taste and explore the grounds. It was $20 for unlimited tastings good enough for two people. The variations of flavors were so good from sweet to a little bitter side. We fell in love with the peach and garlic oil. Therefore, I bought a bottle of the garlic oil for $30. Ron the owner went around to introduce himself and shared the history of making fresh olive oil onsite. He was so kind and very friendly making sure everyone was satisfied. We did mention the sourdough bread situation so he went to get us another one. It is a great environment to be surrounded by trees, flowers, plants, nature, and they have swings where you can sit to relax. I do recommend getting there once it opens because the parking lot can get full quickly especially on a Saturday. Make sure you do bring some bug repellent refraining yourself from getting bit. Overall, I did like this place and will return in the future. This is truly a hidden gem and should be part of your itinerary for Ojai.

    Visited Ojai Olive Oil for a friends birthday and we had a fabulous time! This place is such a fun daytime activity to do with friends or family! 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!

    This was my first time doing an olive oil tasting and I'm so glad we went here. They have a good amount of extra virgin oils, infused oils, as well as balsamic vinegars ranging from light to dark. Some of my favorites were the Tuscan, Andalucian, white truffle, garlic, and peach balsamic. They give you some delicious sourdough bread to dip them in. And yes it's unlimited. Such an awesome deal for $20 also. They have a huge outdoor area surrounded by these beautiful huge trees with tons of shade and tables to sit and enjoy. The staff here were all very friendly and we even bought a few bottles to take home. This is such a fun and unique experience to do with your loved ones. Highly recommend.

    What a neat little hidden gem! You can come here and be immersed in surroundings of all things olive oils. Wonderful Olive Oil tasting venue with big beautiful trees that provide a sanctuary of shade while you partake in olive oil tasting! You are given a tray with slates for all olive oil flavors as well as balsamic vinaigrettes along with a hefty slice of bread. Go have a seat under the trees (where you will also find the cutest hanging chairs for your enjoyment) and taste away. The coat for this is $40 There was a man, I believe his name was Ron that walks around giving you a little bit of history as well. Definitely include this in your things to do in Ojai. Plenty of free parking.

    I was already a fan of Ojai Olive Oil because my mother-in-law would gift their olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was my first time going to an olive farm. The grounds were nice and peaceful. It was family and dog friendly. I didn't do a tasting because I was only looking for a gift. The tasting appeared to include your choice of their local olive oils and balsamic vinegars from Italy that were locally flavored. It also included some bread from a local restaurant. The customer service (5 stars) was great as they answered all my questions. I got the Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Traditional Style Balsamic Vinegar based on their gift recommendations. I was given a sample of the Traditional Style Balsamic Vinegar since I have only tried the flavored ones. I liked the rich flavor so much that I got one for myself. I also bought the Ojai Pixie Infused Olive Oil. The olive oil had a balanced essence of Ojai's signature tangerines that wasn't overwhelming. I mainly used the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make an easy yet flavorful salad dressing or have it with bread. I wish I bought more as I'm currently savoring each delicious drop. I've seen their products sold at other spots in Southern California. It's worth a try even if you can't make it to the charming Ojai farm.

    The olive oil taste place is located few miles away from the old town, about ten to fifteen minutes drive. They have designated visitor parking lot, equipped with mobile toilets. Other than the tasting room and outdoor seating place, there's not much place you can walk around, mostly private area and not open to public. They have a small dog playground next to the mill room. The tasting exhibit room is clean and organized, there are tons of fresh olive oils and imported vinaigrette for tasting. It's totally worth the $15 for tasting all, you get the chance to try four extra virgins (used to be five but 1850 has been out of stock), six infused oils, and nine vinegars. My personal favorites olive oils here are Andalucian, Ojai Pixie, and Tuscan Herbs.

    TLDR: 5/5 - Beth and Sophia were absolute gems who are servicing a lovely experience of good tasting olive oils and vinegars at a reasonable price and homey location. I kinda won't stop talking about this place and I think the rest of my party can agree. Getting there: It was roughly 10 minutes out of main street. Our maps (Apple) were fine but I can understand the confusion. There's sort of a dead end one way so you have no choice but to go the other way so its ultimately not hard to find. It is a one way road however so drive slow. Someone will have to back up. Location: Dirt road, parking is free, no reservations needed. There's lunch tables for you to enjoy under the shade with hammocks which was actually quite breezy and not hot despite it being 92 degrees outside. Experience: 5/5 - As a party of 5 we waited while another group was wrapping up with the two service ladies. Once they were done we were generously walked through some of the history followed by the directions. They were so real with us by only getting two trays ($30 for 5 ppl then) and thank god! I love the kind of honesty and actually not wasting their product for the sake of economic gain. In fact I think 3 people could easily share 1 tray so note for yourself based on how many people you have. We didn't even fill our cups most of the way and had plenty left over. The service was just so nice and refreshing. Beth and Sophia were so kind and knowledgable of the product. Quite actually expanded our minds on what we could do with balsam. We didn't know there was even balsamic vinegar here that came with the tasting! With this knowledge I won't let you down beth, you expanded my culinary language. We each got a bag of bread (not stale btw) and followed the directions of how to go about the tasting. It was also just so refreshing to not have an alcoholic tasting and for such a reasonable price! Some of our favorites were Oil: Tuscan, Andalucian -- Infused: Lemon, Tuscan Herb Vinegar: Fig, Peach, Espresso, Pomegranate They also have soaps, lip balm, you can buy a whole pitcher worth! We left with some reasonable priced bottles (imo). I had such fun, thank you again!

    So many olive oils!

    What a cool experience! I've never been to an olive oil farm but being able to see the groves of olive trees IRL was such a highlight. Then being able to sample all the olive oils and balsamic vinegars was like icing on the cake. They don't have gluten free bread here, but they allow you to bring your own GF option with you. I would recommend bringing a really simple GF cracker that can be easily broken into dipping sized pieces. There were sooo many kinds of olive oils to try and you can go back for refills as many times as you want. For $15 for a board, I felt like it was a great deal. Standouts included the Andalucian oil, the rosemary infused oil, the lemon oil, and the Tuscan oil. Service was a little strange at times with a few of the staff members seeming annoyed we were there. We were greeted by a woman who seemed a bit agitated by our presence which was strange. Other staff members were helpful and friendly. Reading the reviews, it appears this is not an uncommon experience with others noting the same off-putting vibe. I ended up going home with a bottle of their infused truffle oil and I've been using it on pastas, popcorn, and GF bread. It's so yummy! They also ship nationwide which is great if you aren't able to check a bag on the way home.

    Various types of olive oil

    Great place to learn all about olive oils! They offer $15 olive oil tasting on weekdays and $20 on weekends. You'll get a tray to try all 21 types of olive oil and bread (such a great combo!). Unfortunately, they ran out of the 1850 so we doubled up on one of the oils. I appreciated the staff letting us know that a tray was shareable, so for our party of four we shared one tray and it was more than enough. We still have oil leftover after we all tried everything. My personal favorites were the lemon, Tuscan herbs, and white truffle. It was my first time trying anything other than the standard olive oil (non flavored) and I really enjoyed the various infused flavors! It was a little confusing trying to find the place, but once you get to the fork based on your gps you should hang left and drive up the one way dirt road. Free parking lot parking!

    Had a great time sampling olive oil and balsamic vinegars! I love that they had hammocks around the area and the sampling is only ($15) for the board Their bottles of olive oil and balsamic are a bit expensive but you can definitely taste the quality.

    I loved this place. There are so many beautiful mature olive trees in their compound. I loved roaming around the area. The people that helped us were very informative and friendly. We had to do the olive oil tasting, it was a great deal and it came with fresh loaf of bread to dip with all the olive oils and balsamic vinegars. I definitely will come back. I came home with a couple of my favorite infused olive oils we tried.

I knew Ojai was famous for its olive oils, but Carolina especially embodies mastery and craftsmanship as reflected in her offerings of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. As I was the only patron in her shop at the time, I was privileged with her showing me various unique combinations of balsamic and olive oil. She certainly lives up to the Italian stereotype of having good taste. She suggested against me buying food for my mother for Mother's Day, but she understood when I insisted that my mom is a foodie (where I get it from). Carolina herself is classy and refined, yet still so open and welcoming, all of which also is reflected in her store. It is thus no surprise that her shop has been around for over a decade. I hope her shop is there when I am 100! If there was ever a place to stop in Ojai, I would recommend this place. A truly unique experience, unparalleled.

We settled in with a couple glasses of Raywood Cabernet Sauvignon while we waited for dessert. Looking around, it was easy to see why this place has become such a local favorite. The red-and-white checkered tablecloths, vintage family photos, and easygoing atmosphere make Boccali's feel like it's been woven into the community for decades. When the strawberry shortcake arrived, it was immediately clear why people make the drive. Fresh strawberries are piled generously over a warm shortcake and topped with an enormous cloud of fresh whipped cream. The contrast between the warm shortcake, cool whipped cream, and fresh berries made every bite memorable. Despite its impressive size, it never felt overly heavy. Boccali's has been serving this seasonal favorite since opening in 1986, and it's easy to see why it has become their signature dessert. One thing I especially appreciated is that it's only available during strawberry season. Knowing I was enjoying something that isn't on the menu year-round made the experience feel even more special.

This visit was actually to celebrate my birthday. We were slightly hesitant because of the set course menu, not knowing if we'd like the offerings and leery of the value. Let me put this to rest right of the bat, it was totally worth it. We left very satisfied with both the offerings and the portion sizes. We were seated promptly and were immediately greeted by Alana who was our server. She was warm and knowledgeable, friendly yet professional, attentive but never intrusive. I had notified the restaurant during the reservation process that I needed to avoid onion and garlic because I get intense reflux. Alana confirmed this before we began discussing the courses. She assured me that she would guide me away from offerings that would upset my system. There are actually 6 courses, not just the 4 on the menu. They bring an amuse-bouche and then bread to start, before the first course. I won't get deeply into our courses because the menu changes daily, but there were a couple of things we were told that are often on the menu that were soooo good. For the pasta course, both the Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni Bolognese were phenomenal. We both had different fish offerings for our main course which were excellent as well. We were so impressed with Alana that I asked to speak to the manager on our way out to express our gratitude.

    Located on El Paseo Rd this secluded little restaurant is a gem in Ojai with a menu that changes…read morefrequently! I ordered Tagliatelle Slow roasted duck ragú, seasonal mushrooms. My son decided on the Anatra Pan-seared duck breast which came with mashed potatoes and a red cabbage. My wife's choices was Tortelli Sweet potato ravioli, piave fondue, brown-butter, sage My DIL chose the Fish Filet special that came with Black Rice. We ordered sides of Roasted Potatoes and their mixed vegetable blend! We ordered several wines and soft drinks to accompany our dinners. All the dishes were excellent and the in house made pastas were absolutely amazing! Service was excellent from start to finish.

    We were on a girls trip and had reservations for dinner our first night in Ojai. I really enjoyed…read moremy cocktail - the Scotsman. It was well balanced and delicious. For food, we ordered a few things including the Cesare salad, Tortelli, scallops, seafood pasta, lamb shank, mushrooms, and one other special. Everything was ok, but nothing was particularly remarkable or interesting. All the food was well-prepared and the lamb was tender. The Cesare salad was good and so were the scallops. I wouldn't get the Tortelli again, it was plain. The service was poor. We had to flag the server down a few times. She didn't check in with us throughout the meal. My friend didn't like her cocktail and asked for a new menu and she ordered another drink. We didn't make a fuss and the server didn't ask about the full cocktail that she took away. I don't expect them to comp the drink, but the server should have at least asked what was wrong or why she didn't like it. Feedback is important and she didn't seem to want any. I expected better service at this restaurant, which is supposed to be one of the better restaurants in Ojai. Overall, I'd recommend going elsewhere if you're in town. The food was good, but nothing special and there are other great restaurants that are more affordable, with better service.
