May 17-19, 2019

Camp Navarro

Come sip, sample and savor with us as we celebrate the 22nd annual Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival! Taste Anderson Valley Pinot Noir (plus rose and sparkling wines) from more than 50 producers, enjoy mouth-watering food pairings by our best chefs and local caterers, and listen to live music while bidding on exquisite auction lots for local charity.

Events range from educational seminars to a BBQ, grand tasting, winemaker dinners and free winery open houses – all hosted amidst the spectacular beauty of Anderson Valley's vineyards and towering redwood trees. Music lovers will be happy to learn about an added bonus – this year Camp Navarro will host a concert on Saturday evening. Our events are uncrowded and unpretentious, and the Pinots are spectacular, so reserve your tickets (and lodging) now!

Casual BBQ & Sunset in the Vineyard

Friday May 17

This year's BBQ will feature whole suckling roasted pig, pulled pork sandwiches, live music and tons of great Anderson Valley wine! Join us amidst the beautiful vineyards at Goldeneye Winery for a theatrical BBQ, music by Boonfire and Goldeneye's renowned Pinot Noirs, along with special bottles shared by the valley's winemakers. Bring a bottle to share!

Grand Tasting

Saturday May 18

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).
