International Pinot Noir Celebration: Trip Planning Guide
McMinnville, United States
Going to International Pinot Noir Celebration?
The world's premier Pinot Noir event, held on the campus of Linfield University in McMinnville since 1987. Three days of masterclasses, al fresco meals prepared by top chefs, and blind tastings featuring 70+ Pinot Noir producers from Oregon, Burgundy, and beyond. A bucket-list event for Pinot lovers.
Your trip blueprint
Register the moment tickets drop (typically June)—the three-day package sells out in under 48 hours. Request table placement near Burgundy producers during the blind tasting; Oregon producers sit strategically at other tables, giving you natural separation to focus on Old World Pinot benchmarks.
