For more than two decades, World of Pinot Noir has brought together the world's leading Pinot Noir producers in Santa Barbara, California. Usually held over three days, this event is renowned for its grand tastings overlooking the ocean, wine pairing dinners created by Michelin-starred chefs, rare vertical tastings, and in-depth conferences.
For 2026, the format is changing: the traditional large gathering will not take place, but a new series of pop-up tastings across the United States will take its place, with dates starting in fall 2025. Despite the absence of a central event in Santa Barbara, WOPN remains active and continues to promote Pinot Noir internationally.
