    Ice cream with blood orange oil and chocolate balsamic vinegar. So surprisingly good!
    Madison O.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Romanelli Silver Dove Olive Oil.  Fantastic!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Came home with the two of my favorites!

    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!!

Glad we added it to the itinerary. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. The olive oil tasting farm is located in a nice neighborhood area in downtown Los Olivos. There is parking accessible in the back parking lot and limited parking next to the olive oil tasting area and boutique shop. As soon as we parked and headed to the olive oil tasting area, we were greeted by a very friendly and hospitable staff member. I appreciated all the information she told us about the property and instructions about the olive oil tasting experience. Their complimentary olive oil tasting was unique and unlike any other olive oil tasting I had ever done before. There were 10 different olive oils to taste from. You are given a freshly made sourdough bread slice to go along with a tray with a menu sheet of all the olive oils. Some of the olive oils that stood out to me were the white truffle, garlic, and Italian honey. We were then encouraged to explore the rest of the property where there was a charcuterie cart, pottery vendor, and complimentary wine tasting on the other side of the premises. This enhanced our olive oil tasting experience even more. The rest of the property was beautiful as there were a lot of tables and chairs for guests to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Olive + Lavender Farms. The staff were nice and accommodating. The vibe was relaxing and inviting. The boutique shop were selling a lot of wonderful and distinctive local products in the area. The olive oils price point are in the higher end. Next time we are in the area we would love to come back.

    Such a gem of a place. Popped in to hopefully buy some lavender plants in pots. And while they…read moredon't sell lavender to plant (why not!?), they had a lovely selection of other things. We did a free olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting, and both my friend and I bought a bottle of habanero olive oil, so yummy! They sell bundles of lavender, soaps, cute kitchen things, candles etc etc. A great stop to pick up some gifts and great way to support local businesses.

We discovered Barbieri & Kempe in downtown Santa Barbara four years ago, and then their tasting room in Los Olivos three years ago. Their Valley tasting room has a comfy outdoor patio space, and inside seating during the hot days. And still with a wide assortment of cheeses, meats, and crackers to compliment the tastings. Special thanks to Paolo and Erin for creating this wonderful space and for introducing us to their delicious wines. Also thanks to Bridget, who is very informative and friendly as she pours for us all. And whether you prefer Red, White, or Rose, there is always something for everyone's individual tastes. My ongoing favorites have been their Rose of Mourvèdre, (honestly, all of their Rosés are delicious), Malvasia Bianca, any and all of their Red Blends, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino . . . thank you Paolo and Erin. Conveniently located on the main street, and between Bar Le Côte, Brewer-Clifton, and Figueroa Mountain.

From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, we were genuinely impressed. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming without ever feeling overbearing. Every member of the staff made us feel like guests in their home rather than customers in a restaurant. The food was just as memorable. I ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly to my requested temperature, and I really appreciated that they were happy to substitute the vegetables on the plate to fit my preferences. We started with Nonna's meatballs, served with fresh bread, and they were absolutely outstanding--rich, comforting, and the perfect way to begin the meal. To finish, we shared the ice cream for dessert, and it was the perfect ending. It was incredibly fresh and creamy, and the garnish of fresh mint elevated such a simple dessert into something that felt thoughtful and refined. What stood out most, though, was the atmosphere. Nella has a whimsical charm that instantly makes you feel comfortable. Rather than feeling like a busy restaurant, it felt like being welcomed into someone's beautiful home for dinner. That warmth, paired with exceptional food and genuine hospitality, made this one of the most memorable meals of our trip. If you find yourself in Los Olivos, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Nella Kitchen & Bar. It's absolutely worth the visit.

    The Los Olivos Wine Merchant and Cafe has a name that seriously undersells what is happening…read moreinside. It sounds like a place where you buy a bottle, eat three responsible almonds, and leave. Instead, they are serving some of the most satisfying farm food in town while the name stands outside pretending this is all perfectly ordinary. The building feels old in the right way. Not fake old, where someone bought distressed wood last Tuesday and charged it with having memories. It feels like locals have been wandering in from nearby vineyards, ranches, farms, and homes for years, sitting down without needing to study the room first. The tourists discover it. The locals appear to already have a system. The focaccia arrived soft in the middle with a crisp little edge that made tearing into it far more entertaining than bread has any right to be. The olive oil tasted raw, green, and incredibly fresh, as though the olives had been pressed somewhere nearby and were still slightly annoyed about it. The vegetables come from the restaurant's own farm just down the road, and they looked almost suspiciously healthy. Bright, crunchy, colorful, and full of life. Most restaurant vegetables sit beside the meat like nervous witnesses. These had confidence, opinions, and possibly retirement plans. The burrata was creamy and uncomplicated, with excellent olive oil doing what excellent olive oil does, which is make you briefly consider whether bread, cheese, and oil might be enough to sustain human civilization. The skirt steak was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. Every cow only has one skirt, which seems like a design flaw considering how many people want to order it. The vegetables alongside it were not there to provide moral balance. They were good enough to start arguments over who got the last one. My mushroom ravioli was exactly right. No puddle of oil. No cream sauce trying to bury the evidence. No pasta cooked to the consistency of a damp envelope. It was rich, earthy, and satisfying, with every bite feeling complete rather than simply preparing you for the next one. The wine wall is practically a geography lesson with alcohol. Santa Ynez Valley, Los Olivos, Paso Robles, Napa, France, Italy, and enough local bottles to make you wonder whether every nearby hill has quietly started producing wine. The wines we tried were approachable and easygoing. They joined dinner politely instead of barging in and demanding we admire their résumé. We finished with crème brûlée, which remains one of the few desserts that begins with minor property damage. Cracking through the warm sugar into the cool butterscotch custard underneath is childish, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Marcos was upbeat, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the menu well enough to recommend it without sounding like he had memorized a hostage statement. The whole evening felt relaxed, local, and completely unforced. This is the kind of restaurant where you finish dinner, walk outside, and immediately start wondering what time they open tomorrow.

The restaurant decor is nice, though nothing special, with a sizeable patio for outdoor dining. We started with a couple of local wines by the glass. The wine list here is heavily biased towards local wines as one would expect from a wine country restaurant. Kudos for the local focus! The menu here is wine country, farm-to-table and the restaurant even has their own organic farm a short distance away where they source ingredients. For dinner we started with the beet salad special served over a citrus yogurt. For main courses we had the grilled rack of lamb and a quinoa bowl with salmon. Every dish was expertly prepared and delicious. The fruits and veggies were exceptionally fresh being sourced directly. David was our server and coincidentally was our server at a wine tasting earlier in the day. His service and that from the supporting team were professional and friendly. I give this restaurant my highest recommendation!
