Nestled in the heart of Dripping Springs, Texas Hill Country Olive Co. is a family-owned gem that proudly operates the state’s first and only certified organic olive orchard. Founded in 2008, this award-winning destination has earned more than 50 medals for its exceptional extra virgin olive oils in both national and international competitions. Visitors are invited to enjoy a true agri-tourism experience, from walking through the scenic orchard to savoring small bites at the bistro, exploring the gift shop, or relaxing with a tasting of olive oils and balsamic vinegars in the stone-clad tasting room.

More than just a working orchard, Texas Hill Country Olive Co. blends education with hospitality. Guests can take part in guided tours to learn about olive oil production, discover unique Texas-made products, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of olive growing. The orchard’s 17 acres were chosen for their Mediterranean-like landscape, reminiscent of Italy, making it a picturesque spot to explore. Born from founder John Gambini’s long-held dream, the company remains dedicated to preserving the beauty of the Hill Country while producing high-quality, locally grown products that showcase the very best of Texas agriculture.
