"Sure, olive oil might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Texas’ liquid gold, but the arid desert climate is actually the perfect setting for this giant Tuscan villa overlooking rows of olive groves. They do a couple of tours each day, so you can walk the grounds and find out the difference between extra virgin and refined olive oil (plus, it’s a nice break from all of the alcohol-based activities around town). They also have a bistro with indoor and outdoor seating, and a tasting room where you can enjoy their fresh-baked breads, wine, balsamic vinegar, and, surprise, olive oil." - nicolai mccrary, anne cruz
"For Rosh Hashanah this bakery is offering two kinds of challah—one stuffed with apples and one plain—alongside honey cake. These holiday baked goods will be available at the bakery counter for walk-in purchases, and advanced preorders are also accepted to guarantee availability for the celebration." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Located in rolling hills reminiscent of Tuscany, this certified-organic orchard grows five olive varieties and mills onsite in a Florence-style mill; guests can sample extra-virgin oils and fruit-infused balsamic vinegars (often alongside sangria) and join a $15 lunch-and-tour offered multiple times on Fridays and Saturdays." - Dawn Reiss
