Private Tasting Parties at An Olive Ovation

Schedule an after hours tasting for you and your friends. It's an epicurean experience like no other as you step into An Olive Ovation and are immersed in an old world European market. The aroma of olives, olive oil, and spices sets the mood for the extraordinary adventure that awaits your taste buds. Your private tasting includes a mini presentation on the wonders and history of olive oil followed by tasting an assortment of international extra virgin olive oils, flavored olive oils, balsamic vinegars, local honeys and more. We’ll show you our favorite combinations and share recipes to take home. Light snacks and a little wine tasting are included. Makes a great pre-dinner activity with friends, family, co-workers and clients. Call the store at 314-727-6464 to schedule. Six people minimum please. We donate quite a few of these for charities; so look for us at your next silent auction.
An Olive Ovation is available for larger more elaborate parties for women's groups, wine and culinary clubs, wedding and baby showers and more. Call the store at 314-727-6464 to plan and schedule your special event.
Wine Events at An Olive Ovation

Several times each year we invite wine experts, both experienced sommeliers and vintners to help us present wine events. Sometimes these are open house tastings, structured wine appreciation classes, or wine and food pairing culinary adventures. Whatever the format you do not want to miss out. The food is great, the wine is even better, you meet like-minded folks and there's always something new to learn. Avoid missing the next wine event: sign up for our monthly e-newsletter.
From our best area chefs:
Love going to Extra Virgin an Olive Ovation. I want to have everything there in my pantry.
- Ben Poremba, Olio, Elaia
Marianne Prey is a wealth of knowledge. Every time I go in there, I learn something new about olive oil.
- Gerard Craft, Niche, Brasserie, Taste, Pastaria
I like Extra Virgin An Olive Ovation for imported mustards, vinegars and olive oils. Incorporating these ingredients into a dish can change it significantly. For instance, a Zinfandel vinegar over a dessert is divine, and mustard in a soup is quite amazing.
