Blog Post: Shop Local at The Olive Vineyard

I was on the hunt for a gift to give to the Super Bowl party host, and it was important that it be well thought out – certainly not something to be tossed around like a football.

Call me the “Errand Queen,” (no tiara required). It’s a title bestowed upon me by my family and friends, and a career I proudly perform–especially when out and about in Agoura Hills. 

Who wouldn’t want to run errands, meet interesting people, while surrounded by beautiful mountains, trees, and parks? I feel fortunate to call this Local Errand Hot Spot my home with its close and convenient destinations, restaurants and incredible shops located within a hassle free zone. 

Recently, I was on the hunt for a gift to give to a Super Bowl party host and hostess, and it was important that it be well thought out, creative and within budget–certainly not something to be tossed like a football right into the re-gift drawer. Going to this annual Super Bowl gathering is always fun and entertaining, yet right now I was thinking more about the gift I needed and not about the game.

As I was contemplating my next move, straight ahead right before my very eyes, there it was, the shop I had been wanting to check out: The Olive Vineyard. Why not look around this boutique shop I’ve been driving past all too often? After entering the store I knew immediately I wasn’t leaving empty handed–this place was quite the find! 

The owner and sales staff greeted me right away and walked me around the shop. I was given a lesson on olive oils and vinegars, explaining the benefits, flavors and more. Not only was it easy for me to select the perfect gift, I even bought something for myself (surprise, surprise)! As I was encouraged to try different samples to get a true taste of what this place was about, I discovered a new errand favorite with a unique flavor for all!
