Durant Hosts Fourth Annual Sauvage: An Exploration of Oregon Sauvignon Blanc

April 11 @ 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Signature spring festival returns April 11 with 20 wineries, local fare, and live music

Durant, home to the Durant Vineyards Winery and Oregon’s only commercial olive mill, will host its fourth annual Sauvage: An Exploration of Oregon Sauvignon Blanc event on Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Durant at Red Ridge Farms. The walk-around tasting festival showcases the beauty, range, and growing reputation of Oregon Sauvignon Blanc, bringing together 20 local wineries pouring their favorite selections across Durant’s scenic estate. Set among olive groves, lavender fields, and gardens in the Dundee Hills, Sauvage offers guests a true Oregon wine country experience with beautiful views, delicious wines, fresh local bites, and live music.

Throughout the afternoon, guests will have the opportunity to meet and engage with the winemakers behind the labels, while tasting and shopping small-batch wines. Designed to encourage conversation and connection, Sauvage creates space for guests to wander, sip, and discover what makes each wine and producer unique in a welcoming, relaxed setting.

“Sauvignon Blanc has become an important part of our story since we first grafted vines in 2016,” said Paul Durant, owner of Durant. “Over the years, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see this varietal grow into a statewide movement. Sauvage gives guests the chance to taste the wines side by side, meet the winemakers in person, and experience the energy behind this category in a setting that reflects the spirit of Oregon wine country. It’s inspiring to witness the enthusiasm from both producers and wine lovers as this community continues to grow.”

Fresh grilled oysters and shrimp cocktails, as well as offerings from locally owned Lemon & Olive and Hapa Pizza, will be available for purchase throughout the afternoon. Each guest will receive varietal-specific glassware designed to enhance the characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc.

Tickets start at $65 per person and include tastings from all participating wineries as well as the keepsake wine glass. Due to the limited-production wines being poured, tickets are limited; the event sold out last year. Advance purchase is strongly recommended.
