SUMMARY:International Pinot Noir Celebration
DESCRIPTION:There will be no IPNC events in 2025.

Bringing together winemakers and wine lovers from across the world\, it’s a joyful occasion where wine is put in its proper context: rather than just being a mega-tasting where the wine is sniffed\, slurped and spat\, the delegates actually get to drink some stuff\, paired with some very good food. \n\n\n\n\n\nA long-standing tradition of the IPNC\, the Salmon Bake dramatically showcases wild pacific salmon roasted on an alder fire. While you bask in the warm glow of a lantern lit oak grove. With Pinot Noir and wines from around the world you will enjoy an extravagant outdoor buffet designed by local chefs.
