About This Festival
The International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) is widely regarded as the world's finest Pinot Noir event, bringing together top producers from Oregon, Burgundy, New Zealand, Germany, and beyond for three days of extraordinary tastings, winemaker dinners, and educational seminars on the Linfield University campus in McMinnville. The event sells out months in advance and is considered a bucket-list experience for Pinot Noir lovers.
