Wine & Oil: Touring Texas Hill Country Olive Co.
As a local agent in Dripping Springs, one of my favorite recommendations for visitors and new residents alike is the Texas Hill Country Olive Company—especially for those who appreciate farm-to-table flavors, scenic walks, and real Hill Country hospitality.
Set amid lush olive groves in Dripping Springs, this award-winning, family-owned olive mill offers daily guided tastings of their extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars. These tastings, held 45 minutes to an hour, let you taste signature flavors and learn the production process through an engaging on-site video—since actual mill tours are no longer offered
Beyond the tasting, the venue features a cozy Tuscan-style Bistro—perfect for pairing your olive oils with fresh meals—and a gourmet gift shop where you can stock up on oils, vinegars, and artisan food gifts
Whether you’re a Hill Country regular or just passing through, visiting the Texas Hill Country Olive Co. offers a delicious and educational slice of local culture—a tasty way to experience Dripping Springs’ unique flavor.
