History
In 2012, Christina and Michael Larner set out to find the perfect location to sell their family wine along with a selection of gifts and handmade goods. The timing was right as the historic Los Olivos Garage space, located in the heart of the charming town of Los Olivos was available. An old general store building located on the Larner family property provided the inspiration for the Los Olivos General Store. As a tribute to the buildings past, a vintage gas pump was purchased and placed in front of the store. The pump is now a rather iconic fixture in town anchors the street corner and welcomes guests.
Specialties
Since 2012, the Los Olivos General Store has offered quality products from home goods, jewelry, books, candles, greeting cards, and gourmet food products. Also in the mix are vintage items and of course wine. The wall space doubles as a rotating art gallery, featuring new artists throughout the year and the Larner tasting room right next door, makes for seamless sipping and shopping. All of this adds up to a vibrant shopping experience that captures the Santa Ynez Valley vibe.
