Rooted in the Landscape of the West
For over 50 years, our family has grown wine grapes, acting as stewards of the land on the hillside we call home. Since then our vision has grown to include Durant Vineyards Winery & Tasting Room, award-winning Durant Olive Mill extra virgin olive oil, Durant Culinary, a specialty plant nursery, gift shop, overnight lodging, event spaces, expansive gardens, and the Durant Nature Trail.
Our history here in the Willamette Valley – now spanning 5 generations – began with English Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Italian Prunes, and Cherries. In 1973 our family was among the first in Oregon to attempt growing wine grapes in the Dundee Hills. We believe that great wine is not created in the cellar; it is nurtured and shaped by the land. Durant Vineyards wines reflect the true nature of each vintage, the unique terroir of the Dundee Hills, and our family’s meticulous farming methods.
In keeping with our spirit as a trailblazer, we planted olives in 2004, establishing one of the first orchards in Oregon. With the first, and to date only, commercial olive mill in Oregon, we are able to handcraft signature Durant Olive Mill olive oils with their own distinctive aromas and flavors. While honoring the old world tradition of olive oil production, we believe in the potential for creating unique, world-class olive oils right here in Oregon.
Our family has a deep and lasting connection to the land. We readily acknowledge that we are the caretakers of this small piece of land here in the Dundee Hills that we will ultimately pass down to future generations.

What diners say
“More than an infatuation you can fall-in-love with the expansive grounds and pastoral beauty at Red Ridge Farms.
The intertwined event spaces and places are a wonderful place to just soak up serenity.
The nursery offers a large range and collection of native and adapted plants with everything to create a groomed and elegant garden with a naturally wild vibe.
The extensive collection of exclusive pottery, statuary, fountains and tools offers everything an aspiring or master gardener needs to create a living sanctuary.
The woodland elements with the bordered fields of roses and lavender flanked by acres of vineyards that blanket the surrounding hills is truly enchanting.
Patches, bushes, trees and plots with baskets of mixed plants for indoor and out is a feast for the soul. The collections of flora will give any gardener pause to enjoy the variety of the opportunities to take home something they can grow and enjoy.
While certainly there are seasonal elements to a well tended Northwest garden 🪴 I’d visit anytime of the year and I can’t wait to go back again.”

“We spent a lovely morning through early afternoon at Durrant Farm starting with a 2 hour tour of the property. Thank you Paul for sharing the history to current day operations- amazing story of your parents vision and courage. Love the wines and olive oils to top it off. Highly recommend to anyone who loves wines and high quality olive oils.”

“Brianna was a DELIGHT! She was so knowledgeable, allowed our experience to be leisurely - never making us feel rushed, and the setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. Highly recommend making a reservation as the seating we had had an unobstructed view of the gorgeous property and was very comfortable - complete with an umbrella for shade.
We did the tasting flight and loved the Heron Pinot noir so much we bought a bottle to take home. We also visited the farm store and sampled their incredible fused olive oils and flavored salts - taking home garlic oil, lemon oil, espresso salt and citrus and fennel salt. Honestly there were so many good ones it was hard to choose just a few.”

“A beautiful setting, good wines and nice tasting room but unfortunately poor service. For some reason the staff mostly ignored us while chatting at length with other groups. Had to go to the counter to order as the tasting room staff would walk right by our table without stopping for us to place an order.”

“I’ll preface by saying the service we received at the tasting room was amazing. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly!
However the next day when we visited the shop, the customer service there was not quite as nice. The staff came off as a bit snooty and impatient. We asked if they had the menu from the tasting room as we were trying to remember which one of the two Pinot noirs we had tried. One of the staff said “well those are the wines” mildly gesturing to the shelf where there were probably 4 different Pinots. I then asked for a list of prices because I remembered how much a couple of the bottles we were interested in were, so I thought maybe I could match the price to the name from memory. They said there was one but it was missing. A younger staff member then named a price of a random bottle that wasn’t even a Pinot Noir in a tone that I would describe as condescending. We purchased a bottle and the woman who checked us out was kind and asked about our visit to the area. But overall the air was snobbish and unwelcoming as soon as we started asking for price info. My husband and I had just checked out of our accommodations and had been outdoors all morning so we weren’t exactly dressed to the nines but we weren’t dressed like hobos either. We both felt as if we were treated like we weren’t wealthy enough to be shopping there. Which is a shame because we left our tasting so impressed and with the intention of becoming club members. The second visit made us second guess that decision.”
