A "tasty" stop....

Thursday already!  It isn't long until the week-end.  Are you thinking about special plans?

It is taking awhile to "travel" through the first full day of More Than A Vacation, but this stop will be worth the wait!

We made a visit to the Abingdon Olive Oil Company and enjoyed tasting!

This is a listing of the varieties of olive oils and balsamic vinegars available for tasting/purchase.

Isn't this a classy way to "bag" the stoppers that customers purchase?  The bag was then tied onto the handle of this bag that held the oil/vinegar.




Yes, we just had to come home with some of each!:-)

Not only does the shop have oils and vinegars, there are also other items for sale.

Lovely table setting.

Pottery pieces and linens for sale.

I have a few more pictures of another place or two around Abingdon.  They are below, and I think this will finish our tour of Abingdon.


On display in Persnickety

The Tavern is said to be the oldest building in Abingdon.

Another dress shop.
I believe this completes our day in Abingdon.  We returned later, and that will be the subject of another post in a few days.

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  4. Thanks for giving us such a nice tour. In Door County (WI) they have a shop there that imports special olive oils. It is so fun to go in there and try something new. I never knew olive oils came in so many flavors either.

  6. I really like balsamic vinegar on salads.
    A great looking store.
    The tavern reminds me of England or Scotland.
