The World of Pinot Noir is a non-profit organization, 501 (c) (6), established in 2001 by a small but dedicated group of vintners from California’s South-Central Coast.

Our mission is to bring extraordinary Pinot Noir producers from around the globe together with Pinot Noir enthusiasts for a weekend celebration and education about our collective passion…Pinot Noir!

Our annual event takes place the first full weekend in March and includes two days of in-depth Tasting Seminars, Grand Tastings (each with a unique roster of wineries), a Featured Tasting with a guest Burgundian producer and two Gala Pinot Noir Dinners featuring prominent guest chefs. These extraordinary food and wine extravaganzas will be hosted by participating wineries and feature an outstanding panel of sommeliers from across the U.S.

Thank you for your continued and loyal support!

“There’s no question in my mind that if you’re serious about Pinot Noir you need to attend this event.”
Gregory S. Walter, Editor & Publisher, Pinot Report

"Besides outstanding seminars, meals, and camaraderie, there was the opportunity to taste the PinotNoirs of almost 160 producers in walk-around tastings on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Winemakers were in abundance and eager to speak Pinot."
