My sister has been telling me about Pasolivo Ranch for several years now and I was finally able to visit! Our visit there was nothing less than amazing. Although the drive out to Pasolivo from Paso Robles is not short, it absolutely beautiful! Once we arrived, I was struck by the ambiance. We sat outside and I can't adequately explain how peaceful and relaxing it is to sit in the shade of the trees and have conversation while waiting to try the delicious oils and vinegars. I need to eat gluten free and they had delicious crackers for me instead of bread. (Helpful tip: dip in the vinegar first and then the olive oils otherwise the olive oil repels the vinegar.) The service was amazing and they will literally let you try anything. The pairing suggestions were spot on and I don't think there was anything I tried that I did not care for. Once you are done, the shop is adorable (as is the restroom) and I challenge you to go away empty handed. The truth is that I wanted to buy everything I tasted but I restrained myself. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love the tasting at the ranch. It was a satisfying experience. Nice and knowledgeable folks and very generous. I left with several bottle of oil, vinegar and other stuff that cost me a lot of money. I joined the club at that time also. The reason for the 3 stars is the website. It needs more improvement in regards to everything. I filled up everything during tasting and then they put the wrong address. I can't even put my choices for my next shipment as I don't want them shipping me stuff they I don't like. I watch the youtube videos on how to make the change but couldn't find it in my login. read more

As we were headed to our next wine tasting we spotted Pasolivo and stopped in on the fly. So glad we did because it was one of the best oil tastings we've done. Morgan was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable about the olive oil (to be expected) but her knowledge of how to use the oils in everyday cooking was next level and a reason why we ended up buying bottles. Will definitely be back! read more

DO NOT JOIN THEIR CLUB MEMBERSHIP!!! Terrible service. No communication and unauthorized charges to my credit card. Blocking any future charges with credit card company. read more

We stopped in after going to the store in downtown Paso... we had a great experience at both locations.... so many wonderful flavors for both oils and vinegars. We bought a few items each visit and I know I will be ordering more when we use it up!!! Both of the ladies that helped us (the lovely lady from the downtown shop was at the each when we visited) we super helpful. We enjoyed our tasting so much that I didn't get pictures! read more

I love the products, however their club shipping is in need of a major overhaul. I received the email from the owner and he is addressing the issue. Until the issues are fixed (waiting since September28th for my club order) I have cancelled my membership. Its a shame. read more

BUYER BEWARE! Business is a scam. They charge your credit card without approval or sending any product. It is a nightmare to try to rectify. It's been over ONE YEAR and it continues over and over and over. read more

Their products are wonderful. High quality and very enjoyable. But don't join the club. I've been trying to cancel for three months. They don't answer the phone or response to emails. I've contacted them three to five times by each method. And another shipment is now scheduled, which I refuse to pay for. We've been club members for well over a year, but I would prefer to buy in person. Now that's at risk too, as the service by phone and email for club members is literally non-existent. I'm not sure why they even publish there phone number and email address. read more

After 8 calls, no one seems to know where my order is. Ordered a gift to be delivered for a birthday, but after 10 days the tracking number still only says "label created". Whatever you do, don't order anything that requires delivery . Horrible shipping and delivery service. read more

I have been a club member for over 5 yrs but these last two club shipments have been nightmare. They charged my CC and have not received my order going on 3 weeks. I disputed the charge now. Called several phone numbers emailed various people and finally talked to someone from the store but now she has yet to call me back to update. The company has gone downhill with their club. Will be canceling the membership and such a disappointment to see their CS and management that has gone downhill. read more

I love visiting the Pasolivo Ranch and always recommend this spot to my friends and family. It's the perfect place to reset if you've spent the majority of your Paso Robles trip going to wine tastings. Plus, it's family friendly! The ranch offers a unique experience that I cannot get enough of--it's so beautiful and serene. They have an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff that walks you through the entire tasting. It's my favorite place in Paso Robles! read more

My husband and I drove down Vineyard Dr to go wine tasting last week. We didn't have a plan, just decided to turn into whichever winery looked interesting. All of a sudden I saw this olive oil tasting room and vrooom . . . into to property we went! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the welcome committee and a wonderful lady, Suzanne, took us 'by the hand' and shared the wonders of all their oils for the next 1/2 hour. It was wonderful! We got to taste each and every blend and even pair up seasonings. It was so helpful and interesting. Suzanne was amazing and even took us on a private tour of their back room where all the magic happens. Of course, we ended up being a couple DAYS late for the harvest, but even then, I was impressed they had the whole thing cleaned up like new. All the machines were shiny and ready for their winter naps. They've got a great membership: The Press Club. It is free (no annual fees either) and gives you 15% off everything, including their other products in-house and online. It was such a great deal! I didn't feel like they were squeezing our pockets dry like other membership clubs. This made sense. It showed us the owners know they've got a great product, want it to be affordable for everyone and want it's members to have a great lifelong relationship. All I can say is, we're in! I love olive oil, it's healthy properties and its versatility. Thank you Pasolivo! read more

Best California balsamic I've had. Rivals aged Italian vinegars. The chocolate balsamic is awesome on vanilla ice cream, we added a few berries. read more

Wow. Who ever knew I would go olive oil tasting? Who knew there was so much to olive oil?! Stopping in here during our trip down the coast was one of the best ideas ever. Their tasting room has lots of fun things to see but if you actually do an olive oil tasting you won't be disappointed. There is a fee for the tasting (I can't remember, but I think it wasn't too bad) which is then waived if you spend over $50 or buy a bottle of olive oil. After you do the tasting, it will be difficult not to buy something! The oils are all amazing and range from buttery to spicey and a variety of flavors. They also have various vinegars and tasting salts which are all made by Pasolivo as well. If you really become a fan, you can also join their club, and much like a wine club you get discounts with what you purchase. Only downfall is everything is pretty pricey, perhaps some can swing the price but this is not your everyday olive oil. Can't wait to go back and also one day join the club if I can afford to! read more

We had the best experience tasting olive oils, vinegars, and seasonings! Our host, Sarah, was so lovely and gave the best experience while we were tasting. The oils are so fresh and flavorful, and the vinegars are to die for! Great time and great products. read more

I am obsessed with this olive oil. The lemon infused is so fresh and brightens whatever you add it to. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The olive oil is amazing! The ambience is nice. The staff was kind and helpful! The tastings are generous! We bought a few bottles and we will definitely be back! Morgan was fantastic! read more

Paso Robles is one of my favorite places to visit, and every time I'm in town I make sure to stop by Pasolivo for a tasting. It's such a fun and unique experience and the products are delicious. My personal favorites are the Rosemary olive oil and truffle salt. I have recommended Pasolivo to several friends and everyone who has tried it has absolutely loved it! read more

The Pasolivo Ranch is a must visit every time I come to Paso Robles! I highly recommend doing a tasting. The amazing staff walks you through all the different blends of oils, vinegars and spices, helping you find the best combination of flavors. Super easy to get to and the location is beautiful. I never leave empty handed! read more

Very fun, peaceful and relaxing. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk had to get to 85 characters.

Had a great time! The location is beautiful and the customer service is top notch. Jiji and Gail were absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend a stopping by. You will not regret it. read more

Last spring I joined their Club. Boy, what a mistake. I have tried repeatedly to adjust my September Club order without any success. I have called about 6 times and no one ever answers the phone. I have left voicemails without any responses. I have sent an email, have changed the order on their website, but still no response. Yesterday I received a box of their products and was charged $126 but does not contain what I wanted. This is a huge warning to others that believe joining this club would be a good thing - don't do it! read more

I am so sad to have to post this horribly negative review. This is not about their product as they produce some amazing olive oils. But their customer service is an abomination. They have unlawfully charged me for a shipment I soecifically cancelled with them and you can't reach anyone in the office by phone or email to save your life., their voice mail is full and won't accept new messages and they don't answer their phones or respond to emails. Do not become a club member unless you want to deal with their ineptness at handling club members and their orders and automatic shipments. It's truly sad that their administrative staff does not represent the quality of their products. Something seems to have clearly deteriorated here in the last few months as I now see another similar and very negative review about their club membership that was posted in September. Listen to us both .. do NOT join the club. read more

I am very disappointed in Pasolivo! I am a member of the Press Club and have not received my September shipment, yet this company charged my credit card weeks ago for the shipment. I've sent several emails and left multiple voicemails with them and no one responds! I also had similar issues with the previous quarters shipment. I am posting this with the hope that someone from the company will see this and reach out to resolve this problem. read more

Came into town and was taken to this gem with some family that is familiar with the Ranch. Loved the experience and the staff was extremely nice and went out of their way to make the tasting exceptional. I was a little weary of how I would enjoy this tasting especially because I prefer wine tasting (LOL) but I was impressed and would recommend to anyone. Will definitely visit again when I'm in town. read more

Horrible customer service this past weekend from employee Allison and shift manager Allison. Took some friends there to visit. Pulled up to an empty parking lot/ store, went in and asked if they could do a tasting for 4 people? Employee said "yes no problem, have a seat and we will be with you." before sitting down we walked around the store to do some shopping. There were 4 employees in the store. Overhead an employee say to another employee that she was trying to leave early. This was 3 hours before closing time. Plenty of time to do a tasting. I did not think much of the statement until she walked up to us and asked us if we could only pick 3 tastings and if we could pair up so that we could do the tasting quickly? She said she had to leave in 1 hour. I asked if one of the other employees could take over for her when she needed to leave so that we did not have to rush and so that we could all get our full tasting/experience? She said "no there are no other employees that could help us" I asked about the other 3 employees and she said that they were not scheduled to be servers they were restocking employees only. We decided not to stay and move onto our next scheduled winery instead. We walked out of the store and as we walked out and our party was discussing what poor customer services that was, I decided to walk back in and talk to the manager to make them aware that their employees were turning members away. As I walked back into the store the employee was talking about me to another employee and saying "she walked in her like... I am a member serve me!" I was shocked and saddened that she was talking about me. She was so surprised to see me back in the store. I asked to speak to her manager. The manager Andrea came out and I told her what had happened and was she aware that her employees were turning away customers and why couldn't one of the other 3 employees serve us? All she could say to me was "sorry" in a very unapologetic tone. I told her that I overheard her employee saying that she wanted to leave early. She proceeded to lie for her and tell me that she was actually headed to an event for Pasolivo. Realizing that our conversation was going nowhere I asked her for corporates phone number, her name and the employees name? She replied "they will not answer their phone." I told her that I would keep on trying the number. She pulls out a tiny little cocktail napkin and writes down a phone number for me and her name. I ask her for the employees name as well and she responds back with " I do not know her name!" Come on that is a lie! You are a manager of a very small business and you do not know your employees name? I describe what she looked like and all of a sudden she remembered her name! Writes down her name. I told her that I would be cancelling my membership, which reading the other reviews on this page seems like that is impossible! Just sad that a company that has great products, has such horrible customer service and would treat members this way. Could not even get a tasting and a day with no one else in the store. Corporate office you might want to look into your employee: Allison and the shift manager Andrea and give them a training on how to treat customers! read more

Just spent a lovely morning at Pasolivo tasting olive oils and herbs. The sumptuous flavors of the oils made from their own olives was a memorable experience and superior to any wine tasting. I purchased a variety of products including truffle salts which I can barely wait to go home and put on a tender cut of meat. Put this place on your list next time you visit Paso Robles. read more

Pasolivo Ranch is a great destination for locals and tourists. Who would have thought olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and spices would be so diverse and delicious. The service was fantastic with knowledgeable, energetic insights into their products. Of course, we left with several items and have been enjoying them at our home ever since. We'll be back with friends soon. read more

It was my first time here as was my aunt's & my mother's second, having been here with friends before. I love the quaint grounds & the wonderful old world tasting room. Our server was Jordan who was very friendly, answered our questions, & is a breath of knowlage about the products. We tried the basil, lemon, & lime olive oils along with the plum basil, aged, & dark balsamics. The bread was wonderful along with the water to clens the palate between tastings. We ended up ordering some to take home & can hardly wait to use them. So, for some wonderful olive oil & balsamic vinigre tasting in a quaint old world atmosphere with friendly service at reasonable prices, Pos Olivo cannot be beat. Keep up the good work you guys. read more

I am sorry. No olive oil is worth $48 a bottle. I have been buying oil here for many many years, and when I walked in yesterday and saw their price list, I became physically ill. I was planning on buying several bottles, as they used to be reasonable. For the first time ever I left empty handed. Have the trees begun to produce magic olives over the years?? Why the increase?! This used to be a stop that we looked forward to every time we visited, unfortunately we are priced out. read more

An all around positive experience for olive oil, and a great opportunity for a healthy alternative to wine, or at least in addition to.

Super happy we stumbled across this gem on our trip to Paso Robles! This was such an exciting and unique tasting experience. You can mix and match oils, balsamics, and seasonings to find out what you like. We had the olive oil tasting outside, among some of the gorgeous oak trees on property. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly (shout-out to Sarah and Solana for being such wonderful hosts!) We learned a lot about the history of the ranch and Pasolivo's olive oil producing philosophy -- olives are hand-picked at their prime, and flavors are imparted by pressing fresh ingredients in with the olives instead of by infusion. The quality of ingredients, the wonderful Pasolivo staff, and the gorgeous property really made the experience for us -- taking home a few bottles and becoming members was a no-brainer. Excited to come back again soon! read more

Always a great olive oil and seasoning experience. I always bring family and friends who are visiting to Pasollivo for a fun experience besides wine tasting. I always find a new combination of olive oil and seasoning to try at home. Can always use a new recipe! read more

What a great place and an amazing experience tasing so many types of Oils and Vinegars. The staff is super friendly and full of great knowledge about the many types of oils. That was out first time and what a treat. read more

After making a wrong turn and driving down a windy road I came across this extra virgin olive oil ranch with a tasting room! We drive up this bumpy gravel road and end up at this charming tasting room. We were greeting by the nicest lady who gave Donna and I each a sack of bread and gave us tastings of every single item they sell which included about eight olive oils, honey, vinegar, olive jam, olive tapenade, herbs, salts, and chocolate covered almonds that looked like olives. The olive oils are what they make themselves at the ranch. They have about five different olive oils made from different olives which each tasted so distinct. We bought their gold medal winning signature blend. They also have rosemary, lemon, lime, and tangerine flavored oils which are 100% natural flavored. So frickin' good, we bought the lime one. Also bought some italian herbs, apple cider vinegar, black sage honey, and black olive tapenade. The products they don't make are all from California. I HIGHLY recommend you check this place out. It's pricey but the quality can't be beat. Up the road was another olive place that sells eating olives but unfortunately they were closed today.... bummer. read more

I love Pasolivo we've gone for a tasting and have bought numerous bottles of olive oil and spices. And when we visited again in Feb we decided to join their olive oil club. But I've been very unhappy with the service for ordering online for our club shipment this time. I've been trying to get answers to my questions about ordering and future orders for a week now and it takes forever to get a response and not all my questions get answers and the deadline is in 3 days. Please have better customer service to your club members as I have been very disappointed! And I love your products but I'm not sure if I will continue my membership. read more

The olive oil and balsamic tasting was excellent! Sarah was so knowledgeable and really made the experience. She answered all of our questions and really opened our eyes to the different oil flavors and the milling process! Would absolutely recommend checking this out if you're in the area. read more

There is good olive oil, and then there is great olive oil. The kind I might drink. Pasolivo ranks up there as one of the latter. We discovered them some years ago during a "point your nose and explore" trip (i.e. before Yelp), and simply had to go back for a repeat performance. This was one of those places that actually got better with age. This is an Adult candy store. To appreciate them, you must first set your brain and lead foot on "mosey" mode. Check and memorize your map/GPS before entering the dense trees, as you will find no reception whatsoever thereafter. Their small production facility is hidden away from prying eyes. One must take a leisurely, winding drive into the upper portions of hilly Wine Country. Not as hot as Paso Robles, not as cool as the ocean influenced Ynes Valley. Darn, what a sacrifice. The scenery is spectacular, with California's golden hills, gracious old oaks draped liberally with grey Spanish moss, walnut groves, gentle pastures, and high maintenance horse properties. The sign will let you know you have arrived at Pasolivo. As Shakespeare would say, "Go thither, and with unattainted eye." You turn down a dirt driveway and will spy their newish but simple buildings. There is a small but well stocked gift shop and tasting room (can't be in Wine Country without a tasting room, right?). Grab a small sandwich bag out of the basket, filled with fresh cubed French bread, and start on that olive oil adventure. So many flavors. And so many different ways to enjoy them. Olive oil is not just another cooking oil anymore. Once you have finished the oil tasting, there are also samples of other goodies, like vinegars, sauces, salts, olives. And there is a mini tour of the "mill", should you be curious. This is a delightful break from wine tasting and equally rewarding. Do try! read more

Melissa was the person who did our tasting and she was amazing. She encouraged us to try everything and showed us her favorite concoctions. The olive oil is stellar and the vinegars are out of this world. They also have spice blends which could keep you busy for days. I ended up joining the club cause duh, why wouldn't I?! It's definitely worth the drive. Beautiful ranch surrounded by nothing. Very peaceful. read more

This was a treat to happen upon during our wine tour. They have lots of delicious flavors of olive oil, salts, balsamic vinegars, and dry rub seasonings. It was very nice and a change from tasting so much wine to tasting all of these things. You grab a plate and small spoon to scoop the rubs and salts in your plate to taste , and you grab a small bag of pre-bagged bread for the oils and balsamics. I'm still amazed at the truffle salt and black lava salts, they were really good to me, I could actually see myself using the truffle salt though. The basil and lime oil is delicious, some of the balsamics were a tad bit strong(too much vinegar) but there were some good ones too. Don't skip this place, it's worth it. read more
