The Olive Press, Apokoronas region, Crete - Explore & Book

"With its rolling olive groves, sleepy hamlets and cypress-cloaked valleys dropping to sheltered beaches, the Apokoronas region of north Crete has long been popular with British holiday-makers and expats. There's no shortage of places to rent; but this one really raises the bar. The 3 semi-independent suites - sometimes available individually, sometimes only as a whole - have been immaculately converted from an 18th-century olive press and outhouses. Two of them are split-level and can sleep 2-4; the third is a spacious double/triple. Their rustic-chic interiors wouldn't look out of place in Elle Decor, while the (shared) gardens and pool are tranquil and truly idyllic. Owner Despina Kotsifaki, who runs a homeware boutique in nearby Chania, has invested all her spare time and money restoring the ancient vaults and pale stone walls, fitting gleaming glass doors and polished wetrooms, and filling them all with gorgeous pastel furniture and Provence-style objets d'art. In the courtyard are vibrant scatter cushions, giant table-top lanterns and bursts of blood-red geraniums. The result is Cretan-farmhouse-meets-Conran-showroom: a true one-off. Highs We loved the secret walled garden, with colourful flowerbeds, olive and fruit tress, starlit evenings punctuated by the hoot of owls The lovely (shared) pool is almost chlorine-free, so won't harm your kids' skin even if they spend all day in it Bedrooms are cool in every sense: thick stone walls (plus A/C if you need a top-up) and chic country-house furnishings with clever gizmos A Cretan breakfast can be served in secluded spots around the garden, while the nearby village of Gavalohori has some lovely tavernas The friendly staff provide a concierge service: they can help organise day trips, book restaurants and arrange your every whim - just ask! Lows Individual suites are normally available in low and mid seasons only If you're planning to self-cater, be aware that there's only one small communal kitchen, so you'll have to fit around other guests You're 5km from the coast, and the closest beaches aren't the best in Crete (but a little further are some fab ones) Some guests have mentioned low-flying planes from the US base, but we did not hear any during our week there" - Michael Cullen

Definitely a place worth visiting! We scored Jan to handle out tasing and she was confidently knowledgeable about everything to do with olives, olive oil, and how Jacuzzi makes it. Their olive oils are really good! They have a nice, large selection of styles and flavors to try. Their store is loaded with lots of great gifts and olive oils too. So, make a reservation and go!

This is the place for enriching your life with Exceptional quality Italian balsamic vinegars and nice olive wood kitchen supplies such as serving trays, boards, trivets etc, some very lovely gifts but most importantly locally milled high quality, lab tested, highly awarded olive oils. Rustic, farmer style store offers a couple of oils to taste and mix with vinegars to get an idea about their delicious flavours. The professional blue glass (blind) tasting is available as well (NO BREAD!) This one lasts about 45 minutes and is really fun, informative eye opening experience. Pretty dungeons though, as you may get hooked up on a high quality oils and no other store purchased oil will satisfy you after that. Beware! It’s soo delicious…

What a great little shop to buy and taste olive oils and vinegars! We had the BEST service and she was so knowledgeable about the oils. We even got to taste the oil straight off of the press!

We took a break from the vineyards and booked an oil tasting at The Olive Press. Genevieve was our host and she gave us the best tasting experience we’ve had in wine country.

I received two sets of olive oil and vinegar, one Basil and Pear and another Italian Blend and Bourbon. Lovely gift set from my son. Unfortunately the Italian Blend is so bitter it burned my throat. Extremely and unusually bitter. I know Olive oil since I’m Greek and my uncle had an olive mill that I grew up next to it. I drizzled some on my Mediterranean vegetables to bake, taste it and I stopped. The oil is not old just bitter. Can’t use it. I’m sad about it. So I don’t recommend the Italian blend. The rest is fine.

Amazing olive oil and vinegar. Better than any I’ve had in Italy. We had a great time tasting all the oils and vinegars with Genevieve. She made the experience amazing and was a real pleasure to talk with.

Lovely olive press. We purchase a bottle made from olives off of a 130 yr old tree. Must have reservations but so gracious to let us taste without one. Free shipping with $85 purchase.

We’re club members at the Olive Press and today just picked up our first order, our third time here. The staff are amazing, and we couldn’t get what we wanted, but the staff helped us pick out great substitutes. We also landed upon a Festival of Olives, and it was planning amazingly! We had lots of fun and overall, it was a great experience. I would recommend the Club Membership because you can get olive oil packages and customise and select to your own needs. Beware of spending a lot of money to try all of the cool oils and balsamic!

Monday July 21, Yesterday, At Oxbow market I walked into this store by myself to buy balsamic vinegar. I was the only customer in the store. The staff was looking down, playing on her phone, and didn't greet me at all. I spent quite some time browsing, but still heard no greeting. After I finished choosing my item, I went to pay at the counter. The staff still didn't say hello--she just turned and asked if I wanted anything else, then packed the bottle into a bag for me. When I took out my card to pay, she didn't even look at me--just kept her head down doing who knows what. Only when she handed me the bag did she finally say "thank you." The product cost $25--not cheap, but not expensive either. Still, the level of service was the worst. I never saw a smile from the staff. In fact, she looked annoyed from the start. I don't understand--was she angry that I came in half an hour before closing? I work in the hotel industry, so I understand how important customer service is, even if someone just walks in to browse without buying. I actually wanted to buy more, but the staff showed no interest or care, didn't ask me anything--so I only bought one item. I really like this store's products and use them in my cooking, but unfortunately, I think I'll have to switch to a different brand from now on .

Great place to visit and sample oils. Nice people who help you out but HORRIBLE follow up if you buy to ship something. We bought several bottles of oil and a vinegar. Still waiting for delivery or communication about delivery almost 19 days later..To ship in the US!!! They do not answer the phone nor emails. Very disappointing after such a fun time sampling. Not sure why this company would not have better customer service...Oh well ..still waiting for our delivery...

If you've never done an olive oil tasting before, you owe it to yourself to sign up for a tasting at The Olive Press. It is easily one of the most unique tasting experiences I've experienced in my life. If you thought you knew olive oil, think again! My wife and I stopped by on a Monday afternoon and we were thoroughly impressed with how many different types of flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars were freely available for visitors to try out in the shop. As we worked our way through the store, we stumbled upon an olive oil tasting flyer. Curious about how we could sign up for the tasting, we asked the staff member at the desk and found out they were done with tastings for the day: we'd have to come back tomorrow when more staff were available. Lucky for us, we had plans to stay another day in Sonoma: we signed up right away for the olive oil tastings the next day at 11:00 a.m. When we showed up the next day for our tasting, we were brought to the back room with a staff member. She was friendly, personable, and extremely knowledgeable and organized walking us through the olive oil production process. For each of the olive oils and balsamic vinegars we tried, they were described in meticulous details: from how they were made, what we should be looking for as we tasted them, as well as the chemical composition. Near the end of the tasting, we were also guided to mix different infused olive oils with flavored balsamic vinegars to change things up. This was my favorite part of the whole experience. If you're like me, you'll walk out from the tasting wanting to buy 10 bottles. 10/10 would recommend this experience if you're passing through Sonoma.

Such a beautiful, quaint store nestled at the entrance of the Jacuzzi Family vineyard. There are so many adorable kitchen trinkets, serving bowls & gourmet cookbooks. You could spent hours just browsing around & wishing you could buy everything in the store. We were very impressed with their gourmet balsamic vinegars. They had such vibrant flavors such as mango, pomegranate & raspberry. We were hooked as soon as we sampled them & bought 4 bottles. They are sure to elevate any salad dressing or recipe you use them with. I can't wait to return to buy other flavors.

Came here for my friend's birthday and had the most incredible time! We did both the olive oil tasting and the wine tasting. The employee that served us the olive oil and wine was very nice and also very knowledgeable. He talked about the Jacuzzi family as well as the olive oil making process and where each wine came from. All the olive oils we tasted were produced locally as well as the wine. Afterwards, we were able to walk around and take some pictures.

We came here recently for a tasting after lunch at The Girl & The Fig & had a great time. Jan was very kind, knowlageable, & thorough; explaining the different olives, olive oils, balsamic vinigres, the farming & manufacturing process etc. We got to taste different flavors & combinations olive oils mixed with balsamics. This had to be one of the most thorough tastings we have ever been to. It is cool how you have a private room & the focus is only on you. They have a wonderful store with the formentioned products & always have soaps, losions, & some great chocolates; I took home a dark chocolate bar with cherries which was sublime. They are next to Jacuzzi Winery which also serves cheese bords during the week & pizzas on weekends. We will definitely be back to explore more. So, for some wonderful olive oil & balsamic vinigre tasting & products at reasonable prices, The Olive Press cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.

Salutations, Come on in and get greeted properly! Get your olive based lotions. Get your olive oil! Get your vinegar! Get your good times here! Five minutes in and you'll want to go visit their Sonoma location, too! If you can get your olive oil by the ounce then do it! The bottle is fancy.

I came here with some friends to do an olive oil tasting. I'd done olive oil tastings in shops before, but never with a person the way I did wine tastings. We tried several different extra virgin olive oils, ranging from mild (almost nothing) to robust (quite biter). Then we dived into a bunch of flavored oils, mixed with a bunch of balsamic vinegars. I gotta admit that while in my everyday life I use olive oil, during the tastings, I love the balsamic much more. The host (I forget her name) showed us the giant machinery to crush olives and explained the process to us, told us stories, and mixed a bunch of flavors together. I had a great time! Pro-tip: you are not required to drink all of the olive oil that is poured. My friend did it because she thought she was supposed to and felt a bit sick later (because she essentially drank 1/8-1/4c oil...). My personal favorites were blackberry balsamic and lemon olive oil, but they didn't have a tiny jar of blackberry so I got the fig instead. (No olive oil because I have a lot from Costco kirkland brand.)

What a gem!! I spotted the olive tree groves from the car but when we saw the "Olive Oil Tasting" sign I knew we had to stop by. It's located off the road and you pass right by if you're headed to Napa from San Francisco. The Olive Press is in the same building as Jacuzzi Family Winery's tasting room. When you walk in, Olive Press is on the right side. What a great business! They have a vast selection of delicious olive oils, vinegars, and spices. They have many award winning olive oils. They also play a lot with infusions like peach vinegar and rosemary olive oil. They also sell other goods like soaps, lotions, and toiletries - all olive oil based of course. You can purchase their olive oils and vinegars in the pre-packaged bottles or bring your own bottle/container and fill by the ounce. Great system, if you ask me. The pre-packaged bottles come in many sizes from travel-sized to bulk. I purchased the Sage Infused Olive Oil and Classic Balsamic Vinegar. The herb infused olive oils were deliciously strong and the classic balsamic vinegar was viscous and sweet. Delicious!

My daughter treated me to an olive oil tasting. I'd never heard of such a thing. I'm so glad to be educated about olive oil and how to pair different balsamic vinegars with flavored oils. I can't remember the name of our hostess, but she was delightful. We spent a long time picking out our favorite combinations for purchase. One vinegar we didn't try at the tasting was the bourbon. I bought it on a whim and it turned out to be my favorite. I bought the large lemon olive oil and a few of the small vinegars to try the flavors. I'm very pleased with my purchases and even joined their Olive Press Club, for the discount and future purchase savings. I have to go back for a refill of the Bourbon vinegar. I was surprised with the Jalapeño oil it was so good. I'm not big on spicy but this was just right. I use it when I'm cooking my Mexican dishes.

The Olive Press has been creating olive oils for some time. There are many oils and vinegars to choose from. The help does an excellent job navigating the collection. They sample the oils and vinegars. As a nice plus, they have free shipping when you order enough (approximately 4-6 bottles). And for those that do wine tasting they have a second store with a large wine tasting bar. The flavors are pure and delicate in various strengths. Add to this various blends that can be used as garnishes like the basil Parmesan blend and you have a winning combination. We picked up several bottles for different purposes starting with two strengths of The Master Blend and added the raspberry balsamic vinegar. The light Master Blend with raspberry vinaigrette will make a nice combination for lettuce and fruit salads. This is a destination experience in a nice surrounding. We recommend the stop.

In a countryside of wineries, in a locale known worldwide for it's wines, lies this little oasis also catering to those who aren't wineficionadoes. As soon as you enter the stone building (or a stone facade; I'm going to go with stone building) you are presented with a choice of wines on the left, and an impressive collection of olive oils on the right. The olive oils were all that I was about. Laid out were multiple stations of olive oils, extra virgins and aromatics-induced, and dark balsamic oils with little dip cups and piles of mini croutons, lined with arrays of tiny toothpicks for all to sample as they please. After many a moment of indecisiveness, I decided upon the rosemary garlic olive oil, and the classic, and the fig dark balsamic oils. The olive oil were as good as I expected them to be, but the balsamic oils blew me away! I usually avoid balsamic oils when dipping my breads. But these oils were thick and dark like reductions, totally unlike their fast running fluidal cousins you get at the store. They were sweet and delicious and I can't think of the ways I can enjoy them --- drizzle them on salmon, on caprese of burrata and tomatoes, and who knows what else! I must confess I was never aware of these dark and thick oils. But I sure am glad I do now!

What a fun place to go! It was so nice to be able to taste before buying. Be careful--it's all good and if like me, you'll head out the door with a large box of purchases!!! It was nice to see the Harvest Date on every bottle purchased too. So far, at home, have enjoyed using the purchases too!

Cute place next to a winery. They have many selections of olive oil to choose from. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They even made me a fresh batch of popcorn drizzled with truffle oil (yummy).

No question the olive oil here is high quality, though some flavors didn't taste as good as expected. The issue was their sales tactics. After selecting my choice of bottles with the sales rep, she added extra duplicates that I did not ask for and had to correct her. She then brought them over to the sales counter and started wrapping up the bottles before bagging them. When I got home I noticed an extra bottle of a flavor we did not want. An innocent error? I think not as there were two attempts (one successful) to oversell us. A stain on an otherwise high quality product.

This is always a must stop for us on any day car hike we take to the Sonoma Valley. The store, located within the the beautiful Jacuzzi Winery, is olive oil heaven. To watch the olives off loaded on the side of the building directly into the press is quite a thrill. The variety of product, both the oils and the flavored vinegars is outstanding. We have discovered some amazing new favorites from Bourbon, Fig and Cucumber vinegars to our new favorite Ascolano oil. Fun recipe cards to jump start our creativity. Micheal and his staff ALWAYS take their time with us and give us some crash courses in discovering new flavor combos. Since COVID, the property feels very safe, clean and continues to provide top quality experience. Who knew olive oil tasting could be such fun? As I said, always our first stop heading into the Valley.

Love this place! It doesn't sound like it be the funnest but the Olive Oil and Vinegar is not only informative but delicious. Seriously I've not bought store bought Olive Oil since I visited this place for the first time over 2 years ago. I became a member that day and have not regretted it. If you are a foodie like me and eat tons of veggies and salads you end up getting a really good deal in the long run. 25% off oils and vinegars for your quarterly order plus 20% off whatever you purchase in store. Needless to say I find myself stalking up for myself and family and friens. I've been multiple times and have taken a few people olive oil tasting ( also included for free if you are a member). Both times the OLIVE OIL presented was SOO kind and patient. You could she was very passionate about these oils and took joy in sharing all of its many benefits. Highly recommended for foodies or anyone looking to broaden their taste palette.

Really great tour by Vicki who showed us how olive becomes the delicious green liquid gold we value so much. It's a great experience to tour the facility with such a knowledgeable guide who explained the different phases that happen to achieve the final product. Well worth a visit and you learn how to properly taste the flavors. And you'll get a great appreciation of the effort involved to get to that final bottle of olive oil.

We had a tasting given by Michael. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great olive oil. The balsamic vinegars were to die for. It was an outing for a group of friends. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend if you are going to the wine country.

I love when I can take a drive into the beautiful countryside of Sonoma county and I'm always sure to stop at one of my favorite tasting rooms, The Olive Press! All the delicious oils and vinegars! What a taste sensation to mix different flavors together. You haven't lived till you try the fig balsamic or the Raspberry vinegar! Treat yourself! And get a few extra; they make great gifts! - The staff is always so helpful and accommodating. They will help you find just the right flavors for your tastebuds. Take a walk around the grounds in the back. The estate and vineyards are beautiful. It's a great way to escape, have some fun, and enjoy the treasures of this beautiful area.

Not into wine but your friends drag you into Sonoma Valley? Well, across the street from Kline Cellars is the Jacuzzi Estate (yes, the hot tub Jacuzzi) and on the right wing of the mansion is a wonderland of flavoured Olive Oils and Vinegars. Lots of samples available and great oils available for sale in different sized and shaped containers. Enthusiastic and helpful staff. You might not leave Sonoma with wine but if you stop here you won't leave empty handed with a bottle or two!

I'm a club member, meaning I get a shipment of olive oils and vinegars every quarter. Each selection is curated carefully although members are allowed to exchange selections for favorites. As a member I receive a discount (I think it's 20%) on some items. I often go there for holiday and specialty gifts. A terrific store to visit and sister wineries Jacuzzi adjoins the Olive Press in the same building. The third of this lovely family-owned winery is Cline Vineyards across the street. It offers a similar discount for members. These stops are must visits for Wine Country trips especially if you're coming from the Bay Area on Hwy. 121. Personally, I've been a member for several years and dealing with Olive Press club rep Araceli Moya has been a delight. This last visit included an incorrect selection not discovered until I got home. Araceli made it right immediately and I couldn't be happier.

The original Olive Press. They have an outpost at Napa's Oxbow Market, but this is where they started. It used to be that during harvest, you could watch them press olives into oil; they also sold olive oil ice cream. Not sure if they're still offering this. If you're into virgins&extra virgins (olive oils), this is the place for you. They have an incredible array of oils and vinegars that you can taste. Surprisingly, their cookbooks are the best I've had as my haul from here. Plus, they're everyday Mediterranean cuisine, so you can have 69 ways to make pasta, along with shakshuka for breakfast. The Olive Press' balsamic vinegars tend to run thicker than the store kind, if fluidity is your thing. Vinegar tends to be lighter than oil, but in this case, you can make a delicious emulsion. The Olive Press' vinegars make layered vinaigrettes, unlike lots of store brands. The Olive Press is joined with Jacuzzi Winery, so you can have a twofer of wine&olive oil/vinegar tasting. Interesting trivia- A statue of Neptune overlooks the Napa/Sonoma wetlands. Neptune's Greek name, Poseidon, means "earth shaker." The Napa/Sonoma wetlands were the epicenter of the 2014 South Napa quake- http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Boats-grapes-and-Poseidon-at-Napa-quake-s-5714272.php#photo-6776794

So much fun! The Olive Press splits its space with the Jacuzzi winery, so you can do a little two for one touring if you'd like. They have so many varieties of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Genevieve (I think) really took the time to explain all the different varieties to us and the olive oil process. She also provided us with her recommendations. Our favorite was the jalapeno olive oil & peach balsamic combination -- I will be dressing every salad with these this summer! Make this a stop on your wine country itinerary for sure.

I am loving my Jalapeno olive oil. Perfect for adding spice to every meal. The packaging is beautiful and I know that it's made with a slew of time and love. In fact all of the olives are hand picked and the jalapeno peppers are fresh and kiss the oil with a zing - that will have you pining for more. Trust.

I have loved the Olive Press since they opened! If you haven't visited, you definitely need to make it a priority when you're in the Wine Country next. Not only do I use their products for our daily cooking, but I often ship them as gifts to others all over the country. Recently, I visited to put together a package for a friend in Chicago and had a not-so-perfect visit. That was a first for me, so I sent an email through their website describing my experience and received an immediate response apologizing for their mis-steps in service. I can't emphasize enough how amazing that was. Customer service is not only important when everyone does everything perfectly; it's just as important if not more so, when things are not perfect and the company is responsive to feedback which was the case here. It solidified for me what a great company this is with great people and wonderful products. Thank you Olive Press!

As a local grower/harvester of olives My son and I made a trip to the olive press to experience the "community day", where one takes their harvest in for pressing. at $0.60 a pound it isn't bad. What one gets out of the press looks and tastes so much better than one can buy from the retail store. Next year will bring a better harvest and more varieties of olives.... The turn around is a week after delivering the fruit.

This is the other side of Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. I tried using Yelp to check in but will only bring up this place. This seems pretty nice area and a great selection of flavored olive oils. A nice balance to have when wine tasting.

I found The Olive Press by accident and so glad I did. The property is beautiful and the store is full of every type of olive oil you can imagine. The best part is that they allow you to taste most of the oils they sell. They have cut Italian bread to eat with the oil and each taste was interesting. We ended up buying 4 bottles but I wish we had bought more. Will definitely be back here.

Located at the Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, the Olive Press samples and sells a variety of olive oils. When you walk into the building, the olive oil room is on the right-hand side. There are a couple of counters lined with various olive oils which are available to sample. There are about 6 regular olive oils to taste, ranging from lighter to more full-flavored, which is their award winning olive oil. There are also about 5 flavored olive oils to taste, and I really enjoyed these. They had: blood orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, and jalapeno. The lady behind the counter was pretty helpful and shared ways in which each of these flavors could be used in everyday cooking and how flavors could be mixed or enhanced. For example, she mixed some black currant balsamic vinegar with the lime olive oil to produce a "margarita"-like flavor. I thought it was kind of interesting trying the olive oils, but I wish that they had more bread to taste the oils with. The bread pieces were very small and very limited. I'd say it was worth trying the different types of olive oils, but I didn't feel compelled to buy any of them at the end of the day.

I recently had the great good fortune of visiting The Olive Press as an introduction to the Wine Country for family vacationing from the Midwest, and I can't say enough good things about our experience. From the beautiful Tuscan-like setting to the warm and friendly embrace of staff, our time there was an unfolding of one marvel after another. Who knew there were so many delicious ways to enjoy olive oil? The exquisite nuances of the oil's properties revealed themselves in the various tastings offered by our knowledgeable guide, Michael, and we were left with a much broadened palate and a deepened appreciation for the role of olive oil in the culinary world. We followed our olive immersion with a visit to the wonderful Jacuzzi family winery next door for a fun and educational tour through the various wines produced here. Our tasting took place in the beautiful inner courtyard of the winery, and we felt pampered by the attentiveness of our expert wine guide, Britton, who led us through delicious samples available on their tasting "menu". We swirled, tasted, and downed some amazing wines, and each of us found some top favorites to take home. To say our visit was heartwarming, welcoming, and highly educational would be an understatement. The Olive Press and Jacuzzi Family Winery are not to be missed if you are wanting an authentic and amazing Wine Country experience.

The last and final destination after a day of wine tasting! It was dark by the time we got here, so it's a pity I didn't get a chance to enjoy the grounds or appreciate the lovely building. Tried a variety of infused olive oils. Some I liked ... some I didn't really care for. We ended up getting a bottle of the garlic rosemary infused oil and a bottle of the Italian herb. The garlic rosemary I broke open today and it was wonderful with freshly baked wheat bread. Our friend Marty who doesn't drink and was dragged through a full day of wine tasting was most happy when we got here. Like a colonoscopy, I hope he leaves with good memories of the day since it ended here. He bought more in olive oils than I did in wine. To each our own. POST SCRIPT: They need to improve their oil bottles ... after any pour, the oil dribbles down the side.

Stopped in for the winery, but got a bonus with the Olive Press tasting room! Near closing time so the shop was empty, but the ladies on staff were more than welcoming. There are a few different tasting stations throughout the room, but they invited us up to the counter so we could have their undivided attention if we had any questions. I'm not sure how many different kinds of oil they had out to sample, at least 15, if not more, which I found amazing. Tiny plastic cups for the oil and bits of sourdough bread to dip. I especially enjoyed the citrus oils, altho, the sweet & savory flavors shine through all of their oils. There is a video showing the process of making the oils which we didn't watch because we were too busy sampling. A large store on site with all of their products, both separate bottles and gift sets....buy them here because you will not find them at your local grocer.

I love this place for olive oil and vinaigrette. My favorite is koroneiki and peach combination and mission and pomegranate combo. We came by this place during our 2010 wine trip and been coming here religiously every year. We've been club members for a while until we ended up with so much olive oil and had to stop shipment. Yesterday I was surprised to see that they started carrying truffle oil and truffle salt. I bought $90 worth of salts and a bottle of white truffle oil. I was very excited to take it home. Little did I know that the salts are not an Olive Press product but a resell from another company. The 100 grams of truffle salt that I bought for $27.95 plus tax at this place is actually only $20 on amazon, by casina rossa (the manufacturer). The salt sampler that is sold for $29.95 at this place is also available on amazon. I could've saved my luggage space for something else.. Even with the disappointment, I would still love to come by here every wine tasting weekend for oil and vinaigrette. I just wont buy the salts anymore though.

An amazing gem in the middle of Sonoma County. We were blown away with the number of flavors, they were all fresh and unique. They cut up little pieces of bread to dip and also had a lot of spices that went well with the oil. The staff was even more amazing. The retail manager Michael was the best. Don't miss this place. Try the fig, jalapeño and mango.

We were heading to Jacuzzi Winery and wanted to stop by the Olive Press to look and sample some good quality olive oil. Olive Press is a cute little olive boutique located right inside Jacuzzi Winery. They have tons of great things for the kitchen (not just olive oil) including bowls, dishes, napkins, things to serve at parties and for entertaining and books. Genevieve helped us and she was really informative and helpful. She made several recommendations on the various oilive oils and what to pair them with (and I loved that she wasn't pushy). We walked out with two bottles of olive oil to take home. Thanks Olive Press.

This is a must stop if you are in Sonoma. I have been here twice. Once for an olive oil tasting and the second time to buy more supplies at the store (all done according to COVID-19 health and safety regulations). Genevieve was so knowledgeable and engaging during out tasting. I will definitely bring my out of town guests here in the future. Also, I loved the delicious free recipes they share to give you different ways you can cook with the oils and balsamic vinegars.

Oh YES! A 30 minute drive from the city to the heart of wine country Sonoma, BUT do not be fooled, wine is not all they do! Olive oil has never tasted so good! It's even better than wine.. the shop is next to Jacuzzi winery which is just as amazing!! Do not miss the drive!! You won't be disappointed!!

Located at the spectacular Jacuzzi Family vineyards (which is like a mini Tuscan village), The Olive Press is a Must-Visit for anyone visiting Sonoma wine country! If you like to cook or are an aspiring home chef, this shop has all it all! From olive oils & balsamic vinegars to cook books and other gourmet goodies, this really is a terrific spot to do your holiday shopping for the gourmands in your life. There's plenty of free sampling to do. And the staff is very welcoming and knowledgable. It's hard to not to come in here and drop at least $50 on some olive-themed goodness. Last time I was there, I picked up a bottle of Limonato olive oil & fig balsamic vinaigrette for $25. It's wonderful for salads and marinating vegetables + chicken. You certainly won't find this at your local Safeway. Be sure to put The Olive Press on your wine country to-do list. You'll thank me for it! : )

The tasting room lets you taste every olive oil & balsamic vinegars they have. We came on valentines weekend and received a free bottle of olive oil. The Basil Parmesan Olive Oil is in my opinion absolute very best!

Oh. My God. This place was worth the hour drive to Sonoma. Infused olive oils, vinegars...it was absolutely incredible. I ended up buying blood orange-infused olive oil...peach vinegar...CHOCOLATE vinegar, I kid you not...everything was absolutely amazing!!
