Pinot Days is designed to allow wine lovers and members of the wine trade to taste a variety of pinots representing every California appellation, style and price point, as well as a few from Oregon and Burgundy.  Attendees can interact with the producers in a casual setting, speaking with winery owners and winemakers and thus broadening their knowledge and appreciation of pinot noir. 

Last June, at our inaugural event, more than 100 pinot producers poured their wines to over 3,000 wine lovers and wine industry folks.  This year we will feature 150 wineries, and we expect well over 3,500 attendees.

Our attendees and participants represent the following categories:

  • Serious wine lovers with wine-related interests (60% of these are 21-35, urban and high income)
  • Winery owners
  • Winemakers
  • Vineyard owners
  • Sommeliers
  • Wine retailers
  • Fine food purveyors

Our sponsorships vary in commitment and type, and we invite you to find one that suits your company.  In this, our third year, we will limit our number of sponsors.  As Pinot Days grows, we look forward to deepening and broadening our sponsor relationships.  We sincerely hope that your company is among them.  If you would like to become a Pinot Days sponsor, please contact Shannon Wolford by emailing Shannon Wolford , or calling (415)710-0568.
