NOVEMBER 1-30, 2025
Celebrate the season at the 16th Annual Olio Nuovo Festival, Durant Olive Mill’s cherished harvest tradition, happening every weekend in November with food, wine, and festivities for all.
Each year, the festival transforms the Farm into a place alive with Italian-inspired flavors, aromas, and traditions. Like stepping into an Italian village at harvest time, you’re invited to gather, taste the year’s first pressing of Olio Nuovo (new oil), and raise a glass to the bounty of the season.
Festival highlights include the return of our signature experiences: Feast Olio, an indulgent seven-course Italian luncheon where every course is crafted with Durant olive oil and paired with estate wines; and Oeno & Olio, a lively communal tasting featuring Durant wine, freshly milled olive oil, and warm bruschetta. Throughout the festival, explore the Food & Wine Pavilion, where a lively tent of local chefs and food vendors will be serving Italian-inspired dishes, seasonal specialties, and plenty of flavors to pair with Durant wines and olive oils.
Wander through the Holiday Marketplace at the Farm Shop, filled with the region’s finest artists, makers, and food producers, alongside Durant’s olive oils, culinary treasures, holiday décor, gift boxes, and more!
The Olio Nuovo Festival is more than a harvest, it’s a celebration of flavor, tradition, and community at Durant Olive Mill, where Italian Roots meet Oregon Tradition.
