Pinot Noir is Our Noble Grape
We do not believe wine should be unapproachable. Though the pinot noir at pinot days is lovely and sophisticated, the winemakers are open, warm and ready to share their stories. There's no need to brush up on big "wine words" – just come, taste, and discover what you love. And there is a whole lotta pinot to love!
Our mantra is "Serious Wine, Serious Fun." Pinot is seriously diverse, offering a breadth of styles and quality that no other variety matches. So tasting a number of different pinots side by side is fun in and of itself, but what pushes "fun" over the top is the people behind the tables, who are some of the most colorful and charming characters you will meet. Bring friends along and the "fun" is a guarantee.
Still reading? You must be hungry by now. Because pinot is the most versatile grape on the planet, you can find a pinot to match any food under the So Cal sun. We'll prove it once again at West Restaurant's Santa Rita Palooza, where unusual pinot pairings will knock off your socks, or your flip flops, weather permitting.
What to wear at Pinot Days?
We recommend that you wear a smile and if you don't present one at entry, it'll be our mission to give you one to take home. If our winemakers set the dress code, you will want to be in jeans with a little bit of vineyard soil on your knees. Avoid white because the wines are red. And very, very good.Click Here to View All the SoCal Events.
Come to Pinot Days Southern California....
....... because life's best things are simple. Good wine, good food, good people. You who live under blue skies and an easy, breezy lifestyle know this better than anyone. People gravitate to pinot noir because it is easy to pair, easy to drink, and fascinating to talk about. We hope that you gravitate to Pinot Days in January; we'll be ready to pour.
