For 50 years, the Durant family has grown wine grapes, acting as stewards of the land on this hill they call home. Since then their vision has grown to include Durant Vineyards Winery & Tasting Room, award-winning Durant Olive Mill extra virgin olive oil, Durant Kitchen, Durant Body Care, Red Ridge Farms Specialty Plant Nursery, Farm Shop, overnight lodging, expansive gardens, and the Durant Nature Trail.
I made these lemon olive oil sugar cookies and they turned out lovely and yummy! I used lemon fused olive oil from Arome in Hood River as they are much closer to our inn the Old Parkdale Inn Bed and Breakfast is Parkdale, Oregon. To purchase Durant products, including their fused oils, head to Durant at Red Ridge Farms.
