1. Olea Farm Olive Oil & Tasting Room
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 16 reviews
Visiting Olea Farm is the perfect introduction to the unique extra virgin olive oil tasting. Olives love the warm California sun and produce one of the finest oils on the market. Its taste and essence are intense and powerful yet it is delicate enough to be used in any recipe without over powering the other ingredients.

We had lunch in their event center and enjoyed olive oil tasting and a tour. They have really unique flavors and I purchased the praline flavored to bake with and put on ice cream.

Love this olive oil (organic) and were in the area and toured the farm. Great experience to learn how olive oil makes it to our shelf in an organic manner as well spending time on the porch of of the owner's house tasting and learning about the history of the region. Highly recommend, esp. if you enjoy farm-to-table type of experiences.

My son absolutely loved his opportunity to care for and ride the ponies during his one on one experience that Donna did an amazing job orchestrating. Talk about some priceless photos and videos that we got! The 45 minutes of personal attention really made our trip and my three year old son keeps asking us to do it again.

Welcome to gopher Glen. A wonderful stop out on see Canyon. And I just love driving see Canyon, especially when it's Apple time. Now when you get to gopher Glen, you'll find a what looks like a well, maybe a shack, but inside you will find a wonderful collection have more things than you ever wanted. I mean they have all the apples in the pears and peaches and whatever is in season. And those may not all be in season at the same time, so I guess you're going to have to make multiple trips. But then they can and pickle and make things available to help dress up the rest of the meal. The selection of pickled items is wonderful, the selection of canned items oh, well I guess there really in jars, is excellent. Then there's all the jams. Wouldn't want your toes to be without a beautiful Jam. Then there's candles, a whole bunch of different ones are those, then there's even more goodies in the little refrigerators that have to do with apple juice and apple cider and hard cider, and then there's a impulse purchase stuff right on the counter, and then there's all those other Knick knacky things, which I'm not even going to list you're just going to have to go out there and shop for yourself. The people are nice, I mean real nice, I mean real helpful, and I liked it. Enjoy the drive it's worthwhile anytime, and know that you can go from the Avila side all the way into San Luis there is a little bit of dirt road in the middle but I love that road.

What a great surprise on our most recent trip down the Central Coast! Fascinating to see loofah come from gourds and not the ocean. And there's a cute little shop with all the loofah you could ever hope to purchase. Definitely recommend it!

Avila Valley Barn is a great stop for parents with grade school age kids or smaller. They have pony rides $6, Hay rides, roasted corn to eat, great fresh baked pies, and breads, produce, and specialty items. You can buy a bag of lettuce and let your kids feed the goats or the chickens which are in their pens. The kids really get a kick out of it. If its foggy at the beach it is usually warm and sunny there. Spending time wandering around and looking at the animals and getting a snack is fun for all. At pumpkin time your going to be amazed at how many there are to choose from, all different varieties and sizes,( great photo ops). Lots of parking available and a very popular stop for the locals.
