Olive Oil Tasting & Pairing with Elise Magistro of Luretík

Elevate your understanding of extra virgin olive oil with a curated tasting led by expert Elise Magistro founder of award-winning Luretík Olive Oils, estate grown in Santa Ynez.

Have you ever wondered how to evaluate the quality of olive oil? Or which variety to choice for finishing your grilled vegetables? Or why some oils give you that distinctive “tickle” in the back of your throat?

Elise will answer these questions and more in this immersive session designed to deepen your understanding of olive oil’s complexity and versatility.

In this tasting, you’ll explore five unique olive oils paired with three different food items. Elise will guide you through the production process, the distinct styles of olive oil, and the art of tasting—think of it as a wine tasting, but for olive oil! You’ll learn how to match the right oil to the right dish, discover why “certified organic” matters, and explore the subtle flavors that set premium olive oils apart.

At the end of the session, guests will receive a bottle of 250 ml Sicily Luretík Olive Oil ($28 value), with the opportunity to purchase additional bottles on-site.
