The shop itself is adorable and has an amazing selection of wines, artisan cheeses, fresh-cut meats, and everything you need to build the perfect charcuterie board. One of the best parts? They offer complimentary cheese tastings, so you can sample before you buy! The store is so welcoming how can you not go in! Walk around and see what they have, I'm sure you will find a wine in their wine cellar to take home! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by, trying a few cheeses, and taking home some delicious treats. This is a must-visit for any cheese lover!

There are many gourmet cheeses, meats, olive oils, whole bean coffees, wines and more. The woman behind the cheese counter invited us to try the cheese samples. There was a lavender cheese and the black cheese with lemon that caught my eye. I bought the black cheese with lemon. The shop associate told me that the black color comes from licorice powder yet you cannot taste the licorice, only the lemon. There were many things I wanted to buy but had to have control. I love that a mother and daughter team run the shop and I loved hearing the mother speak Danish to an older woman that is one of their regular customers. Definitely check out the wonderful gourmet foods here when you visit Solvang.

They give you a coupon for your first online order, so I may use that to try the items I didn't end up with during my in-person visit. The staff was very kind and helpful as well, which is always great to experience!

One thing about me, I love Swedish Candy so I was super excited to see that they had a store in…read moreSolvang! Unfortunately, the store was not what I expected, which is my fault for assuming I suppose. The Swedish Candy Factory specializes in Polkagris - which are big candy canes essentially. I was hoping to find more Swedish candy options and not just a Swedish candy store - if that makes sense. There were lots of candy options from gummies to chocolates though! The inside was cute and well organized throughout 2 different rooms. They even had a candy making station where you could watch employees, but no one was making anything when we arrived. They also had a big screen that displayed Polkagri fun facts. Overall, this was a very cute store, but nothing besides the Polkagris were any different from the other candy stores I visited during my trip. Staff was very friendly though!

Medium peppery spice, very salty but the cheese you taste from it is delicious!!! Def recommend getting this one.

Not too salty in a good way but very savory PICKLES - ( 4/10 ) was excited to have sweet Danish styled pickles but was disappointed to have these. They were like normal American pickles, vinegary, sour, and salty. It tasted like they tried to make it sweet but the strong vinegar taste was still there. The pickles weren't bad just be prepared for vinegary pickles! HONEY MUSTARD - tasty ( 8/10 ) SPICY BROWN- vinegary and sour not very spicy ( 7/10 ) SWEET HOT - SO GOOD ( 10/10 ) CURRY KETCHUP - a savorish ketchup curry ( 6/10 ) - outdoor seating only (good for large groups - Restrooms available - street Parking available

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.

The Caesar salad had the dressing on the side (not a problem).. but when I came to eat it the lettuce (no dressing on it) was beyond salty.. it was as if someone had poured salt instead of Parmesan on it.
