Our guide did an excellent job explaining the history of the grove, what to look for in a high-quality olive oil, and how to taste it properly.

We brought many bottles home of oil and vinegar's to share with family and friends. Down the hill is a lovely newly renovated vineyard and winery named Truss.

ALL of their olive oils and vinegars are delicious. Our all-time favorite salad dressing is their basil olive oil mixed with their white peach balsamic vinegar. The BEST!

You can really taste the quality, care, and passion behind every product. Ruth herself is a highlight of the visit. She's friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the tasting both informative and genuinely fun. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has a great way of guiding you through the options while sharing stories, pairing ideas, and plenty of laughs along the way. Between the gorgeous space, outstanding selection, and Ruth's exceptional hospitality, We Olive is an unforgettable experience in Paso Robles.

6 Star Alert. 6 star Alert. 6 star Alert. 6 star Alert…read more SIX STAR ALERT. SIX STAR ALERT. That right people, I said it.... And 6 times to be exact! Because let me tell you, the Spice of Life in Downtown Paso Robles not only deserves those 6 stars, but they truly EARNED each & every star (plus a bonus star) that I am awarding them for their exceptional hospitality. Now, let me tell you why! While in Paso for my wife's weekend birthday getaway, we had such fun time casually strolling the streets with no where to be. While window shopping, going in and out of the various shops, and just meandering through the downtown area.... We suddenly came across a little business called: The Spice of Life From the outside, it was pretty obvious what we were about to get into... ----Spices----Herbs----Teas---- Hey, they had me at Spices, but the rest is what kept me from leaving there anytime soon. Upon entering this quaint little shop, we were immediately immersed into a world that I Love. Spices, Spices and more Spices!!! Yeah, I'm that guy that at home, not in public of course, that will put a little spice on my hand and lick it off (to test it of course). I know, but I'm just a spice freak, what can I say! Yeah, give me a good lemon pepper, a blended steak seasoning or even a Kansas City Bbq Rub and I'll gladly give it the "Lance Lick of Approval". Yeah, I'm a Spice Man, & I'm not afraid to admit it. And let me tell you, this place has got spices!! Yeah, there are Jars and Jars, & more Jars of the finest, most incredible spices you can dream of. But on Top of the Spices... There are Oils, Vinegars, Teas, Tea Accessories, Herbal Supplements, Books, and More! And with all that shopping... Why not grab a quick bite alongside a freshly brewed coffee or tea at their mini cafe right on the premises. Heck, we did! (We had the Vanilla Chai Tea Latte) And it was Fire! So what makes this place earn a well deserved 6 star review?? It wasn't just their great product. Or even their beautifully prepared drink. It was their hospitality, their graciousness, and the human connection that we felt that went above the typical customer vs. retailer interaction. The lady who assisted us (forgive me but I forget her name) but she might have been maybe the owner or maybe even manager of the place was so kind, helpful and made our experience exceptional, so thank you for that! With so many great gift ideas and things that we needed for our own household, you know we did some damage and got a few things to take back home. So.... If you are a fan of spices like me, love yourself some tea, are looking for some unique, fun gift ideas or just want to enjoy a nice, quaint shop where the service hopefully exceeds your expectations like it did for me... Then take my highly recommended suggestion and get over to the... Spice of Life in Downtown Paso Robles ASAP!!!

We started with the Insalata, then shared the Mighty Cap Mushroom Pasta with Guanciale and the Gamberi Fra Diavolo. Both pasta dishes came highly recommended by our server, and they were absolutely outstanding. I can confidently say it was the best pasta dishes I've ever had in my life. My wife and 6 year old son agreed, and we practically fought over the last bite. We finished with the tiramisu, which was also a 5 out of 5 and the perfect way to end the meal. The outdoor patio was beautiful and had a really unique water feature that made the area very relaxing. Etto would be a great choice for a date night, families, or larger parties. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.
