McEvoy Ranch

EST. 1990

Petaluma, California

Come for the award-winning olive oil, stay for stunning Sonoma County scenery, 50 acres of sun-drenched olive groves, small-lot wine, and a behind-the-scenes look at a working olive oil mill.

Reasons To Go

Explore McEvoy's 550 Acres

Choose from three ranch tour options–each include a visit to the Frantoio (olive oil mill), a visit to the orchards, and an olive oil sampling.

Try The Good Stuff

Reserve a guided tasting of the ranch’s agrumato-method olive oils with fresh local bread or opt for a seasonal wine flight, served on the tasting room patio with views of Morelli Pond.

Picnic, Paint, and Dine

McEvoy Ranch hosts events throughout the year, from picnics with golf-cart trips to visit the farm’s goats, to Paint & Sip art lessons with wine, to multi-course meals with wine pairings in the Long Barn.

“We believe that strong communities are built around healthy, natural food. We support our local community by being good stewards of the land and producing beautiful natural products. To maintain a healthy balance with our natural surroundings, only 10% of the ranch is planted. This purposeful strategy aligns with our strong commitment to ensuring we provide good land stewardship for our olive orchards and other fruits, vegetables, flora, and fauna grown on the estate.”

— Samantha Dorsey, President of McEvoy Ranch

What Rings True — The Cowbell Difference

Agriculture

McEvoy’s orchards and vineyards are certified organic, as is their compost created from the byproducts of olive oil production and used to create nutrient-rich soil.

Locality

Join their Social Club to receive an assortment of ranch products three times per year, as well as access to members-only events like garden tours and tastings.

Enrichment

Sign up for workshops on olive-oil harvesting, wreath making, or a cooking class. We also recommend visiting their website for recipes and articles on cooking with olive oil.

The ranch was founded in 1990 by Nan McEvoy who, inspired by her love of Tuscan olive oil, imported 1,000 Italian seedlings with the dream of producing top quality olive oil in Petaluma. By 1995, the ranch had produced its first batch of olive oil, and accolades and awards soon followed. In 2014, Nion McEvoy, Nan’s son, took over as Owner & CEO. With the support of his adult children, Nion Jr., Griffin, and Helen, McEvoy Ranch continues to be family-owned and operated with a passion for high-quality, natural products, sustainability, and supporting the natural ecosystem.
