Brooke Hazen gave a tour of his farm, was very knowledgeable and patient with all the questions people asked. At the end of the tour we were given a sample of ice cream, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and apple tasting. A must see!

Excellent stop on the Sonoma County Farm Trails. Friendly owners offer a showcase of excellent products in their beautiful showroom. Olive Oil, Apple product and delicious organic pears. The baked apple turnovers were crazy good. The apple juice was the most tasty juice I have ever had. They taught us how to tell when a pear was perfectly ripe. We made pear and brie grilled cheese sandwiches and had chilled pears for dessert with the pears we bought. So good. Highly recommended!

Our private olive tasting at Gold Ridge Organic Farms was an unforgettable experience. We were thoroughly impressed by the educational aspect of the tasting, where we learned about various olive varieties and their distinct flavors. It was also our first time trying an apple balsamic, which was absolutely delightful.

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect—the view of the property is simply gorgeous, making the experience even more special. Our host was lovely, guiding us through the tasting with warmth and expertise.

It’s clear why Gold Ridge Organic Farms has won so many awards. The quality and care that go into their products are evident in every taste. We’re already looking forward to returning in the winter for the Olio Nuovo. Highly recommend!

We went to the tasting event in the beginning of October, 2022, the Taste of Fall. First we had a small tour with the owner who showed us around some olive trees and talked a bit about how farm works, what kinds of apples they grow, etc.
Then we had olive oil tasting experience paired with bread and some snacks. It was really interesting, the tour guide was explaining the difference between flavors, how oil is made, etc. We also tasted apple vinegar and sauce and those were amazing.
For the second part of the tasting we were offered cheeses paired with apples. There was a lot of appetizers offered on the side - nuts, dried fruit, crackers, more apples and pears. Really nice selection of delicious foods and great experience. It's a bit sad that we can't buy particular kinds of apples and can only purchase two kings of cheeses out of seven offered for tasting. The farm is working on making those foods available for purchase. It's cool how they offer you fruit picked on the day of tasting. They allow their fruit fully ripen on the trees, and because of that the flavor is rich. Some are sweet, some tart, some are crispy. They have nice variety of apples and ship only a limited selection to the stores because not all fruit can survive transportation. We found the place through Google, because we really liked their apples purchased at Whole Foods. It was a great experience, we particularly like apple sauce and their olive oil with kumquat.
Everyone at the farm was attentive and kind. You can tell that they are really trying to make your experience pleasant. Definitely would recommend going there for a tour if you can schedule it or you can just buy stuff at their store.

The best, unparallel olive oil i’ve ever had!
Apple cider syrup is also second to none! what is the most impressive thing to me is that all of the incredients are freshly grown, organically made! Simply the best!

My mom was here visiting and is picky about her olive oil which has rubbed off on me, so I took her to a tasting here -- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Very well kept farm and out buildings. Lots of interesting products and info and processing machines in their main building. The staff was very friendly and informative, they clearly know their stuff and care about producing a high quality olive oil.

AMAZING true olive oil! The taste and texture is divine, but for us this oil has been a blessing beyond the gourmet, our autistic son has had tremendous leaps forward in healing and development, this oil is truly brain food pure and healing. Thank you for what you do!

Freshly milled olive oil from Sonoma County. Big time award winning olive oil, both in California and the world. Available only at Whole Foods in Sonoma County, Marin County and San Francisco. OR stop by Redd Wood Restaurant in Yountville and try the pizza, made with Olive Leaf Hills Olive Oil. Yummy.
