Holiday Partnership Highlight: Wild Groves

Wild Groves is a premium producer of fresh extra virgin olive oils and other gourmet foods located outside Sacramento in Newcastle, California. Dewey Lucero and his family represent the fourth generation of Lucero olive farmers, producers, tasters, and blenders. It’s safe to say that they have olive oil running in their blood! At over a century old, The Lucero Family’s groves are some of the oldest in the country.

The Luceros insist on always having good wine, cheeses, meats, and other local specialties on hand for easy entertaining. They created a selection of gourmet accompaniments to elevate any gathering.

Dewey explains, “We are foodies, love to cook, and love to create feasts for our big family. Every Thanksgiving, my mom makes a huge batch of her incredible homemade whole wheat bread that we dip in olive oil. And, of course, we have great wine flowing throughout the festivities. I’m excited to share Domaine Carneros sparkling with the family this year.”
