One of the biggest attractions at the Paso Robles Olive & Lavender Festival? The olive oil tastings, of course. 🫒✨

With more than 15 incredible booths featuring local olive growers, purveyors, and producers, this is your chance to taste your way through some of the most celebrated olive oils in the world!

We’re talking oils that have earned prestigious awards left and right… some of the highest awarded in the country (and even internationally). But what makes this festival so special is that you don’t just taste the oils, you meet the farmers and makers behind them.

Learn why freshness matters. Discover the difference between smooth, buttery oils and bold, peppery ones. Hear the stories behind the bottles. And maybe even find your new favorite “liquid gold.”
