Durant’s Olio Nuovo Festival is back and we are celebrating all November long! Taste and purchase this season’s freshly milled Olio Nuovo (new oil) extra virgin olive oil and take a tour of the Durant Olive Mill to see how premium olive oil is made at Oregon’s only commercial olive mill.  

Find holiday inspiration at the Red Ridge Farms Nursery – filled with natural greens for decorating/crafting, artisan-made wreaths, one-of-a-kind pottery, and unique growing gifts.  Peruse the Gift Shop for Durant olive oil, wine, culinary goods, gift boxes, local food, art, cookbooks, houseplants, holiday décor, and so much more!  

The Durant Vineyards Wine Pavilion and Gift Shop Terrace has been transformed into a local marketplace with like-minded food producers, live music, wine by the glass and bottle, and food carts each Saturday & Sunday in November from 10 am – 4 pm.
