McEvoy Ranch

McEvoy Ranch is an absolute delight for anyone who appreciates fine food, breathtaking scenery, and a truly immersive tasting experience. On our most recent visit, we opted for the cheese and honey pairing, which was nothing short of spectacular. The carefully curated selection of cheeses paired beautifully with the rich, locally sourced honey, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Having previously indulged in their olive oil tasting, I can confidently say that McEvoy Ranch produces some of the finest organic extra virgin olive oils in the region. Their olive oil flights allow you to compare different varieties, each with its own unique depth of flavor. The tasting experience is enhanced by fresh local bread, making it easy to appreciate the nuances of each oil. Beyond the incredible flavors, the setting is simply stunning. The patio offers sweeping views of the olive orchard, pond, and rolling hills, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for a relaxing afternoon. Whether you're savoring a tasting or simply soaking in the beauty of the landscape, McEvoy Ranch provides an unforgettable experience Highly recommend booking a tasting and taking the time to explore this hidden gem in Petaluma!

Make a Rez for lunch or a tasting. Pretty setting w very nice views. Great olive oil selection and gift options too. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Had a wonderful time visiting McEvoy Ranch recently. The Olive oil is delicious and the tastings are a gem. You can’t beat trying five olive oils for $30. Also took in some great views while I was there! I look forward to going back very soon.

What a wonderful experience we had! The riding tour was fascinating and well worth the expense! Lunch was delicious and the views are spectacular! The gift shop has many irresistible items besides the delicious olive oils. We look forward to going back again just for lunch.

I took my wife to McEvoy Ranch so we could do both the Olive Oil Tasting and Ice Cream Tasting. We were not disappointed! The olive oils had very fresh, natural flavors and we enjoyed them alongside fresh bread. We thought that olive oil with ice cream sounded just a tad crazy... Until we tried it. The three flavor pairings of vanilla ice cream with Ginger Turmeric, Chai Spice, and Blood Orange were unique and delightful. It was an amazing new experience for us! We also had the Poplar White Grape Juice Spritzer and it was divine as well! What a beautiful afternoon we had, trying new things and enjoying wonderful new flavors!

We went this last weekend. We had a reservation for 7. Everything was wonderful; atmosphere, olive oils, drinks and our server was fun and humorous. He really made the experience. When our bill came, he tallied it out and it came out to $323.00. Still no issue at all. He told us to go into the shop and pay. When I got in there the lady that rang us out gave me a total that was $90.00 more. Still no issue. They made us fully aware that there would be a mandatory 20% gratuity and I figured it also was the tax on the bill. As I was getting ready to pay the lady behind the counter (not sure her name, older and shorter) let me know that didn't include tax or service fee yet. Very politely I asked her what the difference was between the server subtotal and this new subtotal. She immediately became flustered and defensive. I tried to reassure her it was alright I was just asking. It was here her demeanor changed and she became extremely rude and abrasive. I became embarrassed because many people were around and I just wanted to get out of there quickly as my party was coming over to see what the commotion was about. I just paid my new total of $489 (from $323) It wasn't a money issue at all a d I would have gladly paid $300+ more for the experience. I gave this 1 star review because, despite our incredible experience up to that point, I will never be returning specifically based off of the interaction and embarrassment I received at the end. It really is a shame

Amazing olive oil, we loved the lemon, Province, & jalapeño infused oils the best. The honey ginger balsamic vinegar was also very good. The location was beautiful and the service was also very friendly and accommodating. We would certainly go back.

I organized a group trip to McEvoy and they did not disappoint. We were escorted up the hill to their old milk/feed barn that overlooks the rolling hills of the property. We were given a little history lesson, as well as given the proper technique to taste olive oil (it’s fun I promise). Staff was welcoming and encouraging - let us ask questions and mix and mingle among the vines (we also did a wine tasting). Highly recommend for corporate or large groups that you want to impress or make feel special!

LOVE visiting McEvoy Ranch when in wine country, it can even be a destination. This is almost a sanctuary for us that we share with friends and family after my cousin stumbled upon it and we went to explore one afternoon. We visit Petaluma often and always make a point to make a trip out to the ranch to pick up some great olive oil and enjoy an afternoon away from the rush of the real world. It is extremely gorgeous and peaceful here, the food is always impeccable, the tastings are unique and the service is wonderful. Must book a reservation for any tasting or lunch (48 hours in advance) unless you are just doing a quick boutique stop for some olive oil, incredible choices for cheese, Salumi, tapenades, skincare or wine. I have been such a fan of McEvoy Ranch since they had a storefront at The Ferry Building in SF. Love all their EVOO, the wine stop pourers, and their Verde line of moisturizers is divine.

Freaking love this place! So hard finding a place that has something to do for pregnant people . Took Husbie here for his bday ! It was such a beautiful day & the place was breathtaking. Love that you have a beautiful view overlooking nature and the pond . The service here was great ! Chris was super helpful & gave us the best service . He made our visit amazing & really enjoyed our conversations with him. We did the honey and cheese tasting $45. The cheeses were so good & the honey paired nicely with the Chevre & Brie. We also did the gelato & olive oil tasting $35 which is a must since it was super warm . They were paired with 3 olive oils . My favorite wasnthe Chai. We also did the non alcoholic tasting $22 which came with 2 Rose's & 2 shrubs of your choice . I wasn't a big fan of she shrubs since they tasted like Kombucha to me but i loved the Rose's . My absolute favorite . I will come back again since I really enjoyed our time here. Such a gem of a place.

Beautiful pastoral location!!!! It feels like a different world than city life. We came during January, which is a slower time of year, and so we didn't need a reservation nor was it busy. The wine is wonderful, but the olive is the BEST anywhere. The customer service was relaxed and friendly. The gift store has my favorite ODE products I order online. The face oil is the best on the market.

This olive oil ranch is worth going to located right outside of Petaluma it has history, art , gardens architectural beauty and wonderful olive oil and wines. My friend was celebrating her birthday . She has discriminating taste and took us to this beautiful place. We had a great tour guide she knew a lot about art, history , wine, olive oil and about some of the plants. It had a great outside area that you could taste olive oil and wine. It is a worthwhile stop if you're in the area.

What a fantastic experience. Whoever thought of pairing olive oils and gelato is a flat out genius. Always good to try new things, especially in such a beautifully serene place. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

What a find! I was recommended to come here by a friend and was blown away! It's a bit of a drive out of Petaluma but gorgeous drive. All outdoor seating with fire pits and adirondack chairs that made it relaxing, with stunning views of the pond and surrounding hills. We ordered the valentines special tasting menu and loved the small bowls of multiple bites - the pot de creme was the best! We also did a wine tasting and enjoyed their reds, as well as the rose they greeted us with. And I loved the shop inside where you pay! Wine, bath products, specialty food items, Id come back just for the shop! I've told many people about this place already and I can't wait to come back.

Despite all the hype about McEvoy's oils, they are, surprisingly not that great. The best is their reserve oil, but the array are mostly novelty flavored oils. Their basic olive oil is a blend of numerous varietals. They don't feature any fine single varietals. They also offer their 'cooking oil' to taste, which is a less strongly flavored oil blend. As a serious cook and foodie, I was underwhelmed. The grounds are pleasant and the staff friendly, if not enthusiastic. They do not waive a tasting fee if you purchase oils, so note, if you intend to purchase, that it's quite expensive. Everything is monetized there, down to the pens to sign a credit card at checkout. No free advertising pens here; you need to pay $1.50 if you pick one up. Check out was the moment I thought, wow, over the top and yet somehow cheap. If you're truly interested in fine oils and learning how to taste, blend and appreciate them, I'd recommend visiting The Olive Press near the town of Sonoma.

We came and did the olive oil tasting and had such a great time. What a hidden gem! Views, staff, and olive oil was all amazing. Dog friendly outside and the shop has so many great products/gifts. Can't wait to come back!

It was a wonderful visit today except an extremely rude employee chased us down and told us we couldn't walk around the property. We were walking from the parking lot to the store and had already made a purchase. So now my family is canceling our subscription and considering finding a new place to buy olive oil. The woman had short brown hair and a fake sounding British accent.

This was the prettiest venue I've ever been to. The drive there was so beautiful. You go through a gate and there is parking in front of the tasting area. We were greeted with sparkling water and water. We were seated and ordered the olive oil tasting. There are other tasting options and food/dessert, but we came for the olive oil tasting. The olive oil was so delish. Our favorite was lemon and basil. It was so breathtaking there and we will definitely be back for a full ranch tour.

Came here for a wine tasting for my birthday. My friend treated me since he has a membership. The staff was so nice and hilarious. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the wine!! It was so good I ended up buying a bottle. The little gift shop was so cute we ended up getting some cbd products. We also tried the olive oil and that was a lot of fun too. Cannot wait to come back to do the whole tour

Came here for a day trip and it was a wonderful day filled with beautiful scenery and olive oil. We did the olive oil tasting and seasonal cheese sampler. The service was great, our server spent a lot of time with us, sharing the history behind the ranch. This place is pet friendly and they were so welcoming to my dog. Just note that pets aren't allowed in the milling room of the tour, so you may have to wait outside with your pet (food safety and cleanliness mandates). I would recommend pre-downloading google maps prior to your trip since there may not be cell service in the surrounding areas.

Without a doubt we'll return sooner than later. We did not have a reservation so just walked around a little, asked some questions. The signs are very clear "Reservations" required. Looking forward to olive oil tasting. BTW; after your visit keep driving west and try the Marin French Cheese company, not far from McEvoy Ranch.

McEvoy Olive Oil is the freshest and best olive oil you can get in California. Absolutely worth the price! I buy the big jug and refill my counter top bottle every week or as needed. Yum!

Beautiful views, great wine and olive oil tasting and fantastic service! Can't wait to visit again.

Came here a few weekends ago with my family for wine tasting. It was everyone's first time visiting this place and we were so pleased with the ambiance and got to sit under a tent set up and decorated for Christmas. We decided to also do an olive oil tasting along with our wine tasting and also purchase some cheese and crackers. Everything was delicious and we went home with some small bottles of olive oil ( the lemon and jalapeno were everyone's favorite). The service was wonderful as was the view around the back. They even had a farmers market with tons of fresh produce, and sister bought a whole bunch of veggies to take home with her. We can't wait to come back again and have another memorable experience.

When we arrived, we were welcomed, given a taste of blush wine, then taken to a lovely patio table with a lovely pond view. We had reservations for one olive oil tasting and lunch. I wasn't sure how much to order for lunch and had over ordered. Our waiter, Michael was super helpful and explained it to us. So we backed out a few items. The potato leak soup was fabulous and served in their McElvoy mug, a delicious salad and corn muffin came with it too. It was so delicious. We finished with the citrus tart. OMG that was so fabulous order your own, do not share, that is a mistake I made. We bought three of the delicious oils, and we had to have the mug, perfect shape for soup or a great cup of tea/coffee. I added a white wine tasting for fun, the Chardonnay, was out of my comfort bit definitely worth tasting and buying a bottle. They are very laid back here which makes the experience even more enjoyable. We will be back in the spring and bringing our daughter and son in law.

I've always loved McEvoy - good wine in a beautiful environment and lovely staff. We recently went for lunch and it was really good. Order before you go, when you make a reservation for tasting online and lunch is ready while you taste wines. The salads were large and very good as was the soup! Dessert was great a lemon tart perfect ending and nice with the wine. Take out of town guests to McEvoy for lunch and they'll have a wonderful Northern Ca experience!

Pretty lake and estate. I came by without an appointment, and they were so nice to still accommodate us. Really nice property with a lake. We were able to try a few wines and ended up buying the 2017 Cab. Great service and very knowledgeable.

A hidden gem! Where else can you find both the options of either an olive oil tasting or wine tasting at the same place. A peaceful, quiet location; you get to enjoy the hillsides of Petaluma and the view of the olive groves. The reserve olive oil tasting let's you taste the extra virgin, the cooking, blood orange, basil, and garlic with nice, crusty bread. The option to add meals to your tasting is a great choice to enjoy the day with your tasting. The service is super friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely want to try more of their varieties of olive oils. They also have various products made from their oils also.

As a concierge (visiting with Industry folks), I pride myself on sending people to unique locals in Sonoma County. I requested a visit to McAvoy Ranch via email twice and left 2 messages. Not hearing back from the team there, we went anyway. Beautiful Drive not far from Petaluma, lots of baby goats - Not too many people seated near the pond, thought we might at least have a splash of wine. NOPE! We got turned away too! MARIN FRENCH CHEESE is not too far away - please consider a picnic there!

Our first experience was great, so we became members. Upon our second visit, we arrived early and were met by their hostess, Emily. She said, we could be seated but they'd have to get our table ready and we could wait in the gift shop, 1/2 hour later. She escorted us to the furthest corner of the property, gave us the menus, and told us our wait person would arrive shortly. Emily came back and ask if we wanted anything to eat from the menu. I told her we're interested in their charcuterie and wine. She told me to pick it out from inside. It had been almost an hour and still no service. Upon purchasing our charcuterie from inside, bringing them to table, my husband said someone actually came to see if we needed anything. My husband should have said, "Yes some wine." He thought I was getting the wine too. Not the case. Upon walking back, looking for a staff member, standing next to the front door, Emily greeted another party of 4, I overheard they too were early. Emily immediately seated them. I was able ask a staff member for service, she checked their log, and noticed we were assigned to Mary (great lady and extremely professional!) Mary apologized for the confusion and soon after Emily happened to appear and told Mary, "No apologies were necessary. " Much to my surprise. I actually commented, Mary didn't but she (Emily) should. Keep in mind, it had been over an hour and it was a hot day. We would have left but my husband really wanted to stay. Mary made the experience better. Upon checking out, the cashier asked us how was our experience, I told her about Emily.

Great experience olive oil and wine tasting. Beautiful views and excellent service. Great gift store too!

Beautiful location. The shop has nice products. However, way the olive oil tastings work is a little confusing. Multiple that when trying to figure out food offerings, table assignments, etc.

Beautiful scenery to enjoy while having our wine tasting flight and a delicious charcuterie plate Friendly attentive staff at our first time wine tasting in the area sure we will be back again

Just need a nice get away? At this spot you have a chance, an opportunity to get away from it all. You can sit by the lake, drink some wine or have an olive oil tasting, some food and just relax in the peaceful setting. That was the founders reason for buying the property in the first place, so her kids and grandchildren could escape form the reality of city life and be outside. This was one of the very first California olive orchards, the history is very interesting, do some research. Nan McEvoy and her family were involved in the Bay Area on so many levels. This is a spot for foodies, wine lovers.

Our first time there and the waitress knew that. She gave no guidance. We had 6 people and 5 of us each ordered a 30.00 olive oil tasting with bread and one ordered the cheese and olive tasting at 45.00. The waitress should have told us that we were ordering way too much. We could have each shared an order. We asked for more bread to continue tasting our olive oil and we didn't know that additional pieces of bread were extra until we got the bill. Our bill came to over 300.00 and most of the olive oil was not consumed. The olive oil tasted fine especially the jalapeño, lemon and rosemary. I would have preferred to go to their little store and bought a bottle or two instead of what we did. They also had nice body lotions in the store. But we didn't buy anything at their store. The ambience was quaint and the views were spectacular. But the tasting was very overpriced. They charged us extra because we were a party of six, but our orders were very simple and did not require extra work as we didn't order from their food menu. This could have been a better experience if the waitress would have given us some guidance. I will not return.

We were so excited to visit this place on our trip to Petaluma. We were disappointed when we arrived only to find out it was closed the entire weekend for a private event. There was nothing on the website about it being closed that weekend, and if reservations are required, that should be clearly stated on the website too. While the website does mention you can book a reservation, it doesn't say reservations are REQUIRED. Very disappointing since we came from out of town to visit this place. I wish this was more explicitly stated on the website so guests could make proper arrangements.

What a spectacular opportunity to relax in a wonderful setting while tasting McEvoy's own selection of olive oil and collections of wine. The patio, tucked a long way from any road noise, is beautiful and dog friendly. Reservations are required and lunch needs to be ordered two days in advance - all worth the effort. Wile there, check out their wonderful collection of skin products. A wonderful destination for an afternoon out with friends!

We absolutely loved our visit to McEvoy Ranch. We were able to eat on their patio with an amazing view of the water, a majestic 300 year old tree, and olive groves spread out over the rolling hills. We were greeted with some wine tastings as we sat down. Our server, Mary was lovely, attentive, and personable. The salmon lunch was very good and equal parts light and filling so that we could focus on and thoroughly enjoy the wine and olive oil tastings. Of the olive oils, my personal favorites were the grassy extra virgin olive oil and the basil olive oil. The lemon olive oil was also a crowd favorite. So much flavor packed into every sip. The jalapeño olive oil on popcorn was also really good-- it was like all the jalapeño flavor minus the heat. We also liked trying the chai spice olive oil in coffee... very creative! As for the wines, we really enjoyed the 2019 Azaya Pinot Noir. McEvoy Ranch is California living at its best!

The scenery and land of this winery is amazing. I appreciate how you can sit down at a table u set umbrellas and enjoy your wine flights while taking in the scenery and the products from lotion to olive oil to jams to wine are amazing. Kind folks and we have had Chris twice now back in August and now September. He's knowledgeable, funny, helpful and kind. I like the choices of wine from sparkling to rose to Pinot noir. And personally I'm a fan of the Sonoma/Marin area wineries vs Napa because of these choices. And this time around we had the lavash choices. Yummy.

Highlight of our Petaluma adventure. Service was on point (Mike was so helpful and knowledgeable, Patty so fun, sweet and kind). Delicious olive oils, wonderful glass of bubbly upon check in and views to die for. Can't wait to come back.

Looking for a beautiful hidden oasis that also provides unique wine pairings from olive oil to mustard? Then look no further than McAvoy Ranch, which provides everything from wine tastings to lunchtime bites set against a backdrop of the beautiful green hills that make up the border that is the area that is the Petaluma Gap. McEvoy Ranch was founded by the McEvoy family led by the late Nan McEvoy, whose family founded and previously owned the San Francisco Chronicle and son still runs Chronicle Books. When it began over thirty years ago as an organic olive oil farm, Nan McEvoy probably never could envision the impressive vineyard and tasting room that it has grown into today. A friend and I had wanted to enjoy the splendor of the wineries along the region that comprises the Sonoma and Marin county borders for quite some time and a chilly weekend in October provided the best opportunity to do as my friend went onto McEvoy Ranch's website and found out that they were offering a twenty-five dollar wine pairing with a selection of wines and mustards, both of which are processed right at their vast estate as well as a Bavarian pretzel in honor of Oktoberfest! Once we drove down their long private road to get to their tasting room, we were greeted with a pour of their 2020 Rosebud Rosé, which was one hundred percent Pinot Noir and with its slight acidity was reminiscent of a Rosé Champagne. From there, we sat out on their lovely patio overlooking their pond they have at their estate. Chris, our tasting room associate, told us for the Oktoberfest pairing, we had the option of ordering a glass of wine from their regular wine tasting menu or their Oktoberfest Flight, which featured four pre-selected wines that they felt would best pair with their new mustard collection. Since we were here to see which of the wines at McEvoy Ranch we loved the best, and Chris admitted he was a pretty heavy pourer, we opted for the Flight and we were not disappointed, as for 25 dollars we drank five wines that had a variety that was engaging all on their own with a food item as varied as mustard and pretzel bread. We began with their 2019 La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay, sourced from nearby Keller Estates and was not too buttery as it encompassed a lot of fresh fruits on the nose. Our second pour, their 2018 Evening Standard Pinot Noir, whose name harkens back to their newspaper publishing days and is estate grown but mainly sourced from nearby Azaya Vineyards and had a fresh finish to it that made this wine a standout, especially when paired with their mustards. Our third pour was their 2018 Red Piano Syrah which was estate grown and named after the owner who won a contest that awarded them a piano from none other than Elton John and had more savory notes than the other wines. Our fourth pour was their 2019 Il Poggio Montepulciano, which is estate grown on rolling hills that are similar to that of the Tuscany region of Italy and is a rare light red wine that also has tannic notes after each sip. When paired with their three mustard samples that we presented with, each wine had a different appeal to it, as their Chardonnay mustard was a little lighter, their Sweet & Spicy became a personal favorite thanks to that extra kick, and their Jalapeño Whiskey was deceptively smooth. Although we were slightly disappointed to be a pretzel bread roll instead of an actual Bavarian Pretzel as the promotion promised, our taste buds were surprisingly excited to sample all three unique mustard varieties, so much so that we both purchased a jar of their Sweet & Spicy mustard inside their gift shop. We enjoyed ourselves so much so at McAvoy Ranch thanks to the wonderful customer service and hospitality we received that afternoon even after we had to move underneath their tent area when the rain started to come down that a mere two weeks later my friend and I were both back to take advantage of their end of year wine and gift sale that took place in their adjoining warehouse. This sale also featured a number of skin care products, candles, home goods and olive oil products that we couldn't resist. Also upon our second visit in a month to McAvoy Ranch we were there to take advantage of their Olive Oil Tasting, which for 25 dollars we were guided by Pamela who taught us how to smell, taste and savor no fewer than six different olive oils they sell at their estate alongside some fresh sourdough bread. We were greeted with a wonderful splash of their 2019 Sparkling Wine and also decided to order an additional pour of their 2018 Saimuun Vermentino which is sourced from grapes near Tuscany and had a delicate saltiness to the finish, which combined well with the olive oil. McAvoy Ranch features a solid amount of wine pairings, as they work with a caterer to provide exceptional bites for one to enjoy the great weather and atmosphere that wine lovers will love to take advantage of, and who doesn't want to experience that? I know I do, over and over again!

Beautiful setting, no expectations going in. Guide was flagrant about $$ spent and staff benefits, kind of gross $55 + tax ( tax should be included) and then personally requested gratuity. I was dumbfounded by the lack of taste

Beautiful setting, delicious olive oils and wines. Service was good. I had a reservation for olive-oil tasting for 6 people. It was a little confusing at first because I assumed we'd have someone guiding us through tasting the different flavored oils and explaining the oil-making process, etc. It was more like ordering at a restaurant. Once that was cleared up and we ordered, it was good. Our server (?) was very nice and knowledgeable, but again, we had to ask the questions--What's the history of the ranch, how do you make your olive oil, etc. But we did enjoy being able to choose what flavors of oil to taste, and my friends (who had never done olive oil-tasting) really enjoyed the experience. It was a bit breezy and cold and no heaters, but there were some thick blankets that helped.

Had the best day and we were treated gracious and turned out we'd been members for 10 years!!! Very relaxing and the best hostess in Kyndall thank you all

Another local hidden gem! Nestled deep in the hills, this amazing ranch with wine and olive orchards is phenomenal. My mom and I ventured to try something new, olive oil tasting, and we're so glad we did. We were greeted by friendly and attentive staff, and were offered a complimentary glass of wine they were showcasing that day. Next, we were able to pick our tasting spot, which was right at the pond's edge. Molly, our host, was amazing and we learned so much about the ranch, the olives, and the process. Amazing combinations of complex flavors, including chai spice olive oil ~ WOW! They had two local featured vendors onsite providing free samples of cheese and chocolate, and a store and gift shop that's dangerous- LOL! Great local products. I highly recommend visiting and daring to be different. We ordered a glass of wine while we were tasting the oils.

All Mrs. Nan wanted was a place where her grandchildren could play outdoors in fresh air, near wildlife and be away from the hustle and bustle of the city. She purchased the land at McEvoy Ranch with this in mind. Because an agriculture permit was required to build on the land, she began growing olives. Taking from her favored place to travel, Italy. There are close to 1,300 varieties of organic olive trees growing on property. * Rosé I had this at the Shuckery in Petaluma the other day. It pairs nicely with fresh oysters or a summer salad. We purchased a bottle. * Red Car Pinot Elton John performed on several red lacquered red pianos in Las Vegas a few years ago. These pianos were auctioned to raise money for his AIDS Foundation. Nan won one of the pianos! It is signed and has a device that connects to the piano that plays 4 of Elton Johns songs. Check it out on the property. * Sangiovese Grown in Tuscany on an organic vineyard. Easy to drink, refreshing summer wine. We bought a bottle of this too. Olive Oils * Lemon * Jalapeño * Limited Edition * Original The jalapeño and original were my favorites. The lemon had a heavy zest flavor to it. I did learn that they used the whole fruit when crushing with the olives. One of the reasons they do not produce herbed oils such as lavender or basil is because those are infused with the oil. McEvoy crushes olives and jalapeño or lemon whole together! Parking is fairly limited which probably explains why a reservation is required. We arrived at 4:00pm without reservation and still received a tasting. Super close to the Marin French Cheese and 10 minutes from Petaluma.

I love the McEvoy lavender product lotions and have been ordering for many years. Unfortunately, NOW there is NO LAVENDER FRAGRANCE with products now offered as lavender scented lotions and oils. It's so very disappointing that the lavender scent has been almost totally eliminated from all new orders for lavender scented products :(

We just came back from a quick visit. We live close and I'd been wanting to visit for quite a while but never had a chance. Strangely I totally missed the fact that the visit is by appointment only. Luckily they were open to public for the holiday shopping! It is a beautiful, beautiful place. Quiet and peaceful. The shop and the tasting room were smaller than I imagined but it wasn't crowded. We got to taste some great olive oil, tapenade, olives and jam. The staff is all very nice and kind. The weather was bad, but we are definitely going to be back for a nice picnic at the table sometime. We'll probably join their social club, which sounds like a great value. Brought home two kinds of oil, a tapenade and jam! Oh, a pro tip: follow Yelp map, not Waze map.

We just had a magical day at the ranch! Everyone is so kind and so willing to share all the wonderful products and oils. Even though it was a cold day, we bundled up under blankets and enjoyed the beautiful view of lake and hills while sipping a bottle of their lovely rosé and tasting delicious oils (gluten free cracker for my GF friend).The staff constantly checked on us, and shared amazing stories about the history of the ranch and the stories of farming olives. It was a beautiful afternoon trip and we loved our products, wine (rose), oil, and fig spread! I highly recommend this stop 15 minutes from downtown Petaluma! Winter time fun!

The ranch is beautiful, the oils are amazing. I was looking forward to getting a history of the ranch and explanations about the oils. Our hostess had just started and didn't know any answers to my questions. The tasting was $25 and you did not get a discount if you purchased oils. It was freezing outside and they gave us blankets but there were no heaters.

McEvoy Ranch recently hosted our wedding. I went into our day with high expectations, and I have to say that McEvoy GREATLY exceeded them. The venue was jaw dropping and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding say was perfect. Our caterer, DJ and rental company all enjoyed working with them as well. I am so grateful we were able to have our wedding day here and would absolutely recommend McEvoy Ranch to anyone. The olive oil that McEvoy makes and served at our wedding was the absolute best I have ever had. The McEvoy wine we chose for the wedding was excellent as well! I have had a few opportunities to try both, but when it was paired with with our caterers food (OTL Fine Catering), it brought it to a whole new level. I cannot recommend McEvoy enough. I will absolutely be a regular there from here on out.

Went and had date day with my wife at McEvoy Ranch. Picturesque! The staff are amazing. You are not only warmed by the sun but by the passion and care of the employees. Partook in wine tasting and lunch, as well as Olive Oil tasting. This is the place for all your tamponades, bruschettas, and olive oils. Fell in love with the Blood Orange Olive Oil. If you are looking for a nice afternoon in Petaluma/Novato boarder area, for quiet, tranquil, easy lunch with picnic like atmosphere....this is your place!

I lived the first 18 years of my life in Petaluma and had no idea this place existed until about a year ago, but now that I've been I'll definitely be recommending this place to any friends who visit my hometown. I came here on my last trip home with my family for the premium olive oil tasting. It was a Wednesday morning so we were the only ones there and were seated by the pond out on the patio. Spring was in full force at the ranch and I can't tell you if I enjoyed the views or the tasting more. Our server was very attentive and started us off with a free splash of rose while telling us the history of the land and the family who owned it. The premium tasting comes with 6 oils to try and plenty of bread, our bread bowls were refilled several times during our visit. I would definitely come back to do the property tour and see the gardens which is a separate paid for ticket. My siblings and I all ended up buying a little something from the shop after our tasting.

I absolutely Loved McAvoy Ranch, the views here are Amazing.... Our Hostess Janet was very knowledgeable about The Wineries History which was very fascinating.... The Wines wasn't bad either my Party of 3 were very pleased and our Lunch on the Patio was delicious we had Wraps with the Wine.... I will be coming back.

I really "heart" this place！！！ After discovering them in San Francisco Ferry Building and fall in love with their Bohemian roee balm, I have been wanting to visit their ranch in Petaluma. Once I sit down in the beautiful courtyard overlooking a pond, it it took me a few minutes to be able to quiet down because it's too relaxing, too quiet and too tranquil... The high stress, go -go-go Silicon Valley lifestyle really ruined me. LOL... When my mind was able to relax, I heard the little noises of winds and frogs on the other side of the pond... I personally love their olive oil products more than winr. They don't have their own winery, they either import from Italy or partner with other wineries. When you do wine tasting, they bring you free popcorn and olives. For the popcorn, they pour their own jalapeno olive oil on top of it which gives it a great kick and flavor. Their olives are also great, not overly salty so you don't have to worry about needing kidney dialysis afterwards. Oh, don't forget their skin products.,...such a great quality and my skin is loving it. The shop has excellent variety of products as well that really relaxes me.

Wonderful visit with my out of town brother for a olive oil tasting. Such a gorgeous property and attention from staff made it a memorable visit

Not a Good Value Pleasant staff, relaxed outdoor setting and excellent olive oil. However, for $25 per person (plus tip) you don't get very much: A complementary taste of wine when you arrive (little more than a thimbleful), then olive oil with small pieces of not-so-fresh bread for dipping. No bread basket, no snacks available and no discount toward the purchase of their excellent but expensive olive oils. We felt taken advantage of and would have done better to spend $25/person on a nice lunch in Petaluma.
