4 Best Sights in The Willamette Valley and Wine Country, Oregon

Durant at Red Ridge Farms

Fodor's choice

Durant is known across the state for their flavorful olive oils and this hilltop property is also home to the first commercial olive mill in the Pacific Northwest. Stop by the gift shop to taste some of the farm’s signature oils or head out back to see an old-fashioned (and not-in-use) olive press imported from Spain. While olive oil is the big draw, there's also a tasting room where you can sample estate wines by appointment.

Downtown Hillsboro Farmers' Market

Fresh local produce—some from booths, some from the backs of trucks—as well as local arts and crafts are on sale Saturday from late-April through October. Live music is played throughout the day. The market is just a block from the MAX light rail line.

Eugene Saturday Market

Held every Saturday from April through the middle of November, the Saturday Market is a great place to browse for handicrafts, try out local food carts, or simply kick back and people-watch while listening to live music at the Market Stage.
