KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Olives, olive oils, olive trees, local wines and locally-brewed beers formed the centerpiece of this year's Kelseyville Olive Festival, a family-friendly event held Sunday, March 20, at the Chacewater Olive Mill in Kelseyville.
Rainy weather didn't dampen the spirits of the eventgoers at the second annual festival, which highlighted all things olive-related.
A silent auction, beer and wine tasting, and wine store sale proceeds from the event benefit the programs of the Lake Family Resource Center, while admission to the event – including games such as the popular olive pit spitting contest – is free of charge.
Held mostly indoors, festival goers enjoyed sampling olive oils from Apollo Olive Oil, Canino Ridge, Ceago Vinegarden, Chasewater Olive Mill, Clearlake Oaks Olive Oil, Olivino, Robledo Family Winery, Rosa d'Oro, Sierra d'Oro, Sutter Buttes Olive Ranch, the Villa Barone and Loasa Farms, as well as offerings from Christensen Foods and Main Street Bakery.
Kelseyville-based wineries were also featured including Robledo Family Winery, Rosa d'Oro, Wildhurst, Moore Family Winery and Bell Hill.
Beer also was offered by the Lake County Homebrewers – including one with plans to open a beer-tasting brewery by the end of the year in downtown Kelseyville – who will return to the annual Amateur Wine & Beer Festival held each June in Lakeport's Library Park.
The festival proved the perfect way to usher in spring in Lake County: with lots of local goods including olive oils, wines, beer and bread.
