I hate to say this about a small local business but since they have not responded to my attempts to contact them they give me little choice other than to go public regarding my experience. I would have gone with 0 stars if I could have; my experience was a huge disappointment! We drove 3 hours (round trip) for their tour and planned to eat and shop there as well. Here is what we got for our $5 tour: 1) 10 minute lecture about olive oil, read from a script-the person presenting didn't know answers to question not on script 2) A trip through some doors to the area where the presses were (this can all be seen through the glass walls) - they weren't working that day and one was missing, there was no further explanation, the doors were held open and anyone could walk in, so no need to pay your $5 - there was olive sludge all over the middle of the floor & I'm surprised nobody slipped in it. The "tasting" consisted of 4 kinds of olives and 1 pickled bean imported from someplace, nothing special, just sitting under plastic domes like you would find in the supermarket. The rest of the tasting was just out in the store, available to everyone, the tapenades just grungy open jars under domes and the oils just sitting on a cart with a little cup to pour into from which you can drink the oil - or - if you don't like drinking oil you can lick it off your finger. Following this $5 rip-off tour I was not predisposed to think kindly of any of their products, which seemed to be nothing special and certainly not deserving of the premium price point. Trader Joe's here I come! If you still want to visit this place, don't waste your money buying a ticket for the tour, you will be able to join one without paying and enjoy all the "benefits" that others paid for. We left in short order, feeling ripped off, and will not be patronizing this business again. I'm not sure who wrote these other good reviews, but I am skeptical; they in no way match our experience.

What started OUT AS a warm getaway from the chilly Detroit weather. Actually turned OUT to BE ONE of the most influential trips Perry and Brenda REA ever decided to embark on. In 1997. The Detroit couple decided to visit the valley of the SUN. And was surprised to SEE the abundance of olive trees growing around the phoenix AREA. INTRIGUED and excited upon the discovery. And with some RED wine...
