Greetings from Los Olivos 💌 🌿🍷

Drawn in by vineyard views, small-town charm, and the feeling of slowing down for a while, people travel from near and far to experience Los Olivos. But what makes this town truly special goes beyond the scenery. Los Olivos is deeply rooted in community - where neighbors become friends, familiar faces gather around shared meals and glasses of wine, and every visitor is welcomed with the warmth and hospitality that make this valley feel like home.

Whether you’re discovering Los Olivos for the first time or you’ve been part of this valley as long as we have, we’re grateful to share this special place with you. 🤍

Located less than one mile from Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Café, our three-acre CCOF-certified organic farm supplies the freshest seasonal produce directly to your plate. Since 1995, we've been committed to sustainable farming practices and farm-to-table dining in California’s Santa Barbara County wine country. 🌱🍅🥕

Wrapped in warm house-made flatbread and packed with bold, vibrant flavor 🧑‍🍳👌

Our Lamb Shawarma Wrap features savory seasoned lamb layered with creamy hummus, fresh tomatoes, pickled turnips & onions, crisp shredded lettuce, turmeric-tahini, and a drizzle of harissa-tahini 🥙✨ Served with house-cut fries or a fresh side salad. Vegetarian? Swap in falafel for an equally satisfying bite 🌿

🍷This dish pairs beautifully with reds like Syrah, Grenache, or GSM blends that complement the warm spices and savory lamb. Prefer white wine? A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling balances the tahini and harissa perfectly. Our varied wine list offers a wide selection of exceptional wines so you can find the perfect pairing for every bite ✨

It’s not often you get to enjoy wines like this by the glass. 🍷

Thanks to Coravin, we’re able to pour exceptional bottles without opening them-
using a system that accesses the wine through a thin needle in the cork and replaces the lost wine with inserted gas, so the bottle remains sealed and the rest stays perfectly preserved.

Now pouring Le Puy by the glass- a Bordeaux estate founded in 1610.
