Only 250 tickets are sold for The Pinot Noir Summit. It has sold out every year, and we expect the eighth annual to be no different. Get your tickets early before they’re gone.
A portion of each ticket purchased to the Pinot Noir Summit will be donated to Palm Drive Health Care Foundation in support of Palm Drive Hospital. Palm Drive Hospital, located in Sebastopol, is in the heart of some of the best Pinot Noir in the world - the Russian River and the Sonoma Coast.
The day long Pinotcentric events begins with The Pinot Noir Showdown, a blind tasting of 40 top-rated Pinot Noirs. Attendees become wine judges for the day and pit their palates against the expert panel, tasting and voting on their favorites.
Following the Showdown, guests may attend two Pinot Noir workshops featuring wine experts from around the country exploring the many faces and facets of Pinot with top winemakers and viticulturists.
An incredible array of cheeses to enjoy with your Pinot will be offered mid-afternoon and food will be available for purchase on site throughout the day.
The event concludes with a grand tasting as winemakers, proprietors, and winery personnel will share their outstanding Pinot Noirs and a taste of other wines they produce. A fantastic array of hors d’oeuvre will be served.
The identity of the wines tasted at the Pinot Noir Showdown will be revealed. The final results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at The Summit at 8:00 PM on February 27, 2010.
