GROVESTONE

Fun place. Love that you can sample, taste, and smell everything. It is a must-stop and. Heck out. Picked up jalapeño infused olive oil and it is amazing and a few salt-free seasonings. The owner was very friendly and shared what they do and how it all works. Such a nice place!

I had shopped before and it is a one of a kind store with an amazing assortment and cool feel, I feel so lucky to have it in town! I recently started attending the classes and they are top-notch experiences. So fun and the staff are fantastic hosts and you will have the best time. The owner Loui gives amazing customer service and creates such a great environment! Shopping or classes, it’s a can’t-miss!

We’ve come here for a night up in flame cooking class with Chef Steph. It’s more of a wine-and-dine experience rather than a class focus on cooking techniques. However, the menu, the wine paring, and the service were delectable, it’s definitely something we will be back for a different theme of class. You get to try a variety of balsamic vinegar and olive oil that are infused locally at GROVESTONE. It’s truly impressive what they do at the shop. The seasoning and spice selection are epic as well. I wish the space would more spacious (maybe it’s already in the planning?!)

I cannot say enough great things about the cooking/tasting events and the products Grovestone has! We had an absolutely amazing time doing the food/wine tasting, which we received as a Christmas gift. Their events make PERFECT gifts and date nights! We were absolutely enthralled by what we learned about authentic olive oil and the imported products they keep in stock. Genuinely, we noticed a difference in the first dish we made with the Grovestone olive oil. We are SO LUCKY to have a place like this in the middle of central Illinois.
Also, Chef Stef is SO COOL!

I’m not big on giving reviews but this place deserves to get noticed! I was there for a private event. Top notch through and through!! Entertaining, informative, and delicious food and wine. The owner (Louie) was dazzling in his presentation and the chef (Steph) was humorous while displaying useful tips and tricks for the kitchen. It was wonderful to be able to try so many different balsamics and oils. This is a brilliant business model too! 5-stars!!

Great store! We had a a fun time at the cooking demonstration!

Wonderfully stocked with high quality olive oils, vinegars, spices and much more! I loved the cooking classes as well! I can't wait until the pandemic is over so we can get back in the classes! The owner and staff are just fantastic! Exceptional customer service! Always a great experience!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Grove Stone. I walked in on a limb while shopping for Christmas presents. The gentleman and lady who greeted me were incredibly welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. They told me about how the olive oil in the store was grown at their own groves in Greece. The experience was incredibly unique and the oils and vinegretes were wonderfully tasty. When I told the gentleman that this was my first experience in their shop, he offered me an entire batch of free samples and asked me to try them and find out which one I enjoyed the most. They really do know how to make a first impression and I will certainly be back!

My husband and I stumbled in here trying to pass time one afternoon. Walked out with $50 of olive oil and balsamic... Needless to say, the products are delicious. The gentleman working was polite and helpful. We will be back regularly for our own products and for Christmas gifts. We recommend the wild mushroom and sage olive oil and the fig balsamic.

This place is a hidden gem! The owner, Louie, is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The ice cream is so creamy and refreshing! My favorite is the cinnamon ice cream topped with the white Strawberry Balsamic. I know it sounds strange but it’s a perfect combination of tastes. I wouldn’t typically spend this much for olive oil or vinigar but the quality and taste is worth it! They also have a great selection of wine for under $20!

As a professional cook, I love having Grovestone products available to share with my clients. ESPECIALLY the huge selection of amazing balsamic vinegars. So, so good.

I also am lucky enough to cook for and attend some of the demo classes. Really appreciate the chances to mingle with the CU foodie crowd.

This store features a welcoming, ultramodern & "feel-good" space and offers an eclectic selection of wines, jams & other foods from around the globe. The focus is premium olive oil from the owners family groves in the Peloponnesos region of Greece. With very friendly customer service it was an all-around awesome experience for me.

The owner is so friendly and the ice cream is phenomenal. I got strawberry. It was great !!! Highly recommend

Super friendly staff and the widest selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars in central Illinois.

Grovestone is a local gem for olive oil and balsamic, and their staff are incredibly friendly.

Warning: after one bottle of fancy olive oil or fancy balsamic vinegar it's pretty hard to go back to the grocery store stuff.

Great place to get olive oil and vinegar. Good icecream too.

Great place good wines & olive oils friendly propke

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good prices
