The Olive Press invites the public to celebrate the first day of Sonoma Valley's Olive Festival.  We have a very special day planned at The Olive Press. To commemorate the yearly Blessing of the Olives ceremony, and to kick off the Sonoma Valley Olive Season, we are holding an exclusive Open House. Complete with food, oils, and gifts, this promises to be a full afternoon of sampling and learning. With the holidays right around the corner, we invite you into our house for a pre-holiday celebration. Watch how olive oil is made and enjoy hot apple cider, and seasonal cookies.
