Sip, sample and savor Pinot Noirs and artisan small bites from more than 50 wineries and the area's best restaurants and caterers. The 22nd annual event will showcase Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir rose and sparkling wines, paired with wood-fired pizzas, local cheeses, local meats and seafoods, and vegetarian-friendly dishes.
Take in the beauty of the white tents, set amidst towering redwoods, with spaces to sit by the river, enjoy live music, or even play a game of badminton! A live auction with curated lots will benefit the Anderson Valley Health Center, and local coffee and tea will be on offer throughout the tasting.
The Saturday fun does not have to stop here! You can continue your Pinot journey Saturday evening to a Winemaker Dinner of your choice, or stay at Camp Navarro for a light meal and evening concert (additional tickets required).
