It wasn’t what I expected to see in Oregon, but covering the hills were rows and rows of olive trees. Tiny green fruit dotted the branches as we walked along the grove at Durant at Red Ridge Farms.

When my husband Benjamin and I planned our Oregon road trip, we knew we’d be stopping at many wineries. After all, Oregon is known for its wine.
