Sonoma County Vintners Pour + Explore: Pinot Noir

Sonoma County Vintners Pour + Explore: Pinot Noir is a grand tasting event held annually on April 23, 2026, in Windsor, California — dedicated exclusively to Pinot Noir from across Sonoma County's diverse wine regions. Organized by Sonoma County Vintners and hosted at Bricoleur Vineyards, the event brings together producers from one of California's most celebrated cool-climate growing areas. Ticket pricing across all tiers — General Admission, VIP, and Designated Driver — is to be announced.

The event's singular focus on Pinot Noir makes it a purposeful tasting rather than a broad survey of varieties. Sonoma County's Russian River Valley AVA, where Bricoleur Vineyards is situated in Windsor just north of Santa Rosa, is widely recognized for producing expressive, cool-climate Pinot Noir shaped by coastal fog and moderate temperatures. Tasting Pinot Noir from multiple Sonoma County producers in a single session offers a direct comparison of how different appellations and vineyard sites within the region express the grape. Bricoleur Vineyards, founded in 2017, provides the venue — an estate property with vineyard views and estate gardens.

Because pricing across all ticket tiers remains to be announced, prospective attendees should monitor the official Sonoma County Vintners channels and the Bricoleur Vineyards website for updates before purchasing. Sonoma County Vintners Pour + Explore: Pinot Noir is scheduled for a single day, April 23, 2026, in Windsor, California, making advance planning advisable for those traveling from outside the region.

The Russian River Valley AVA is one of Sonoma County's most recognized sub-appellations for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with cool Pacific-influenced conditions that produce wines with notable structure and acidity. Visitors arriving from Healdsburg will find Windsor approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car, while those coming from Napa should allow 60 to 75 minutes depending on traffic.
