We stopped in to just look around, but then noticed the jewelry and stayed much longer than anticipated. The silver chains is what really interested us and the owner was super accommodating. We ended up going back the next day to buy more. There is much more than jewelry to this gallery; I recommend stopping in.
4. Montello Olive Oil
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 9 reviews
Established in 2014, owner Lorraine Montello has always believed that fresh California olive oil and aged Italian balsamic vinegar should be accessible, fun to learn about, and easy to enjoy. So she designed a better oil and vinegar tasting room experience that's all about you. With free daily offerings that includes complimentary bread, guests are encouraged to ask questions and experiment with the provided pairing suggestions.

Montello is a unique experience in Cambria. They import a tremendous variety of balsamics from Italy and have many of their imported olive oils infused with flavors from local farms. You can taste every variety they carry, a treat in itself. We thought about buying one or two bottles but ended up with 8 because they were all so wonderful. The white balsamic is very special and especially good for baking fish. And the prices, for this quality vinegars and oils, are reasonable. If you love to cook don't miss this little shop of flavors.

So happy I discovered Tula during my recent visit to Cambria. It made my stay in this beautiful seaside village so wonderful. In between wine tasting and beach walks may I recommend an hour of the best of yoga I have ever had! Terri is an intuitive, knowledgeable and kind teacher. You will leave one of her sessions with renewed strength, insight and peace. Made my own spa weekend!! The website is easy to use and you can pay for just one class.

We fell in love with this winery while staying in Cambria. To be honest, I just booked a here because it was the closet winery to our vacation rental. We loved it so much that we visited a total of three times. I made a reservation to sit at a picnic table in their grassy area next to the tasting room. From the moment we got there, Katie made us feel like family. She was delightful. Stolo has done such a nice job of practicing safety protocols (social distant tables, masks, hand sanatizer). The view is amazing and the wine is great. I wish I was there right now enjoying a nice pinot noir and looking at the hillside.

Decided to stop by before dinner for a wine tasting of local wines. The shop is really cute with lots of fun accessories. The tasting itself was very reasonable (1$ per tasting), with lots of great local wines to try. The woman serving us (Sherry) was super friendly and very informative, and while we hadn’t intended to buy more than a bottle, thanks to her great information and company we left with 6 bottles! Looking forward to drinking them with friends over the next few days.
