Most tours in the wine country focus on, well, wines! But there’s another fruit in the Napa/Sonoma valleys that has inspired the passion of farmers, vintners, and local families: the olive. In fact, the boutique olive oil industry is now where the wine industry was in the 1960s-a small cottage industry.

There are wonderful old-world olive orchards, historic ranches, and private olive estates with breathtaking views that are options for Great Olive Tours. These are private, appointment-only visits where buses and limousines cannot take you.
