点评:My wife and I enjoy visiting the Queen Creek Olive Mill quite often – multiple times a year. It’s always a fascinating experience. Things to do, experience, items to buy, products to peruse, terrific tasting and quality olive oil, things to learn about, admire and entertain. From their formidable all things olive oil, to the fantastic deli/sandwich/bake shop, the fab coffee bar, a spacious indoor dining area and knickknack stuff – you’ll find all things olive everywhere. And that doesn’t begin to express their vast outdoor area that starts with a gigantic parking area, an incredibly expansive covered and comfortable picnic and munching area both covered and uncovered and misted, a candy corner, a gelato offering, an exceptional wine selection, cookware utensils, tractor tours, the outdoor ‘Di Oliva’ Italian Bistro and Bar area, the vegie garden, a private event space… and the list can go on and on. This is a place you plan to stay for a while. There’s a lot one can learn about everything olive oil including how its grown, harvested, selected, varietals, processed and displayed. They call it Blossom-to-Bottle. Make sure to take the Olive Oil 101 tour! With every visit we not only enjoy a delicious indoor or outdoor meal, maybe some fantastic coffee, even a bottle of wine… but we leave with a few if not many of the fabulous products they offer. Again, if you don’t plan on making this is a day event, at a minimum you’ve got a few hours or half day adventure waiting for you whether as a couple or family - everyone in the group will thoroughly enjoy this outing. One of the best things to do in the Valley of the Sun. We can’t wait to go back!
