Another amazing year at International Pinot Noir Celebration- hard to believe I’ve photographed and filmed this incredible event for 12 years and it’s the 33rd anniversary of IPNC.

A few of these quotes and photos memories from 2018 capture a glimpse into what Jancis Robinson describes as ‘One of the most enjoyable wine weekends in the world “

It’s truly a one of a kind event, a fabulous way to celebrate pinot noir with 1,000+ friends old and new. “Three days of tastings, seminars, vineyard tours, and meals. Throughout the weekend, guests have the chance to taste wines from 70+ Featured Wineries and the opportunity to meet and converse with the winemakers themselves. Highly regarded as one of the world’s finest wine events, the IPNC is also praised as a showcase for the Northwest’s famed farm-to-table cuisine. This year, more than 60 chefs from the region’s most revered restaurants will cook for IPNC guests over the course of the weekend.”
