Pinot Noir Celebration brings together winemakers from around the globe
There’s just something about Pinot Noir that inspires near
fanaticism in both winemakers and wine drinkers. Some say it’s
the inherent difficulty of growing the grapes that makes the
reward all the sweeter. Others insist that, unlike other grapes,
Pinot Noir holds the imprint of the grower and winemaker like no other
varietal. Whatever the case, hordes of Pinot lovers will converge in
Oregon’s Willamette Valley this July to celebrate their passion for
this amazing grape.
The International Pinot Noir Celebration has grown,
over the past two decades, from a small gathering of a group
of Oregon winemakers into one of the most notable wine festivals of
the year, featuring Pinot Noir makers from Oregon, California, Canada,
Chile, France and beyond. It’s one of the few opportunities to taste
both Old and New World Pinots side by side in such an amazing setting.
The event includes several days of seminars, tastings, tours and meals with some sixty international Pinot makers on the campus of Linfield College. In addition, culinary luminaries from throughout the Pacific Northwest will create sumptuous meals to perfectly pair with the many wines.
If you go:
The IPNC takes place in July at Linfield College in
McMinnville, Oregon. The ticket price includes a tasting of sixty wines
poured for you by the winemakers, food prepared by our guest chefs
and a Riedel Crystal commemorative glass.
