  • It's the tops; there is nothing as well-run and instructive

    The New York Times - Frank Prial

  • The IPNC offers great foods, fantastic wines, and interesting lectures all wrapped up in a very casual, relaxed atmosphere that simply makes it a joy to attend.

    Vinography - Alder Yarrow

  • The IPNC consistently attracts the brightest stars in the wine world... perhaps best of all is the opportunity to interact with pinot producers from all of the world's greatest regions.

  • I'd recommend IPNC as an intro for casual Pinot lovers or a full-on master class for winemakers. Actually, I'd say it's required!

    Sunset Magazine - Sara Schneider

  • IPNC is one of those rare wine gatherings that works on every level

    The New York Times - Eric Asimov

  • One of the most enjoyable wine weekends in the world

  • Despite Oregonians' inherent modesty and laid-back-to-the-point-of-sleepy nature, they manage to throw one hell of a festival

The IPNC is a three-day event, famous around the globe, as a mecca for lovers of Pinot noir and northwest cuisine.

And, as one of America's longest running wine festivals, we have quite a few fond memories to conjure up! We are thankful for our 34 years and we look forward to many more. Until our return to normal, we invite you to join our table monthly for our virtual, and internationally focused, Pinot Broadcasts.
