Olive Oil Experiences
Round Pond’s estate olive oils begin in our Rutherford orchards and end at your table — pressed, tasted, and paired with the same care we bring to our wines. These experiences are a guided introduction to the craft of artisan olive oil production and the flavors that make our estate distinctly Napa Valley.

We believe that the difference between everyday olive oil and our freshly-pressed olive oil is as obvious as the difference between orange juice from a carton and fresh squeezed.

From Our Orchards to Your Table
Round Pond Estate is home to 12 acres planted to 2,200 olive trees. Five Italian varieties, including Leccino, Pendolino, Maurino, Frantoio and Coratina, and three Spanish varieties, including Sevillano, Mission and Manzanilla, are harvested as each reaches the most desirable state of development.
At harvest, we gently pull the olives from the trees without damaging the new growth that will provide next year’s crop. The olives drop to a tarp on the ground, which is moved from tree to tree. From the tarps the olives are transferred to aerated bins at the mill, where they are kept cold and fresh.
The olive oil production facility includes both a traditional stone mill, made from one-ton granite boulders, and a contemporary Hammermill. This combination of time-honored and innovative methods allows us to give each olive varietal the gentle handcrafting that brings out its unique expression.
