  • 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

Mother Nature put on a show for us last night, bringing much-needed rain with a side dish of drama. ⛈ We are thankful for the relief it is bringing our wine community after nearly two weeks of fires and smoky skies! 📸 This incredible image is courtesy of Andrew Larkin with @mouvemedia.

📡🍷Less than a week until Episode II of the Oregon Pinot Broadcast! This Sunday, September 6th at 5pm PST. 📡🍷 🍷This intimate discussion will bring together four of New Zealand's top winemakers to explore sustainability in grape-growing and winemaking. 🌿 As a global leader in sustainability, it is only natural that we looked to New Zealand to hear about innovations to preserve - and even improve - the lands in which grapes are grown, for generations of winemakers to come. 🍷 Purchase a special 4-pack of wines from Valley Wine Merchants to gain access to the Broadcast (for our US-based audience), which showcases the four winemakers' talents and will arrive at your door after being a part of this fascinating conversation: https://bit.ly/OregonPinotBroadcastEp2Pack (link in profile) 🍷 Alternately, and available to our entire global audience, your US$20 donation to the IPNC Brighter Days Fund is your ticket to join: https://bit.ly/OregonPinotBroadcastEpisode2 (link in profile) See you on Sunday! 📸: @ripponvineyard @nzwinegrowers
