Each year the IPNC is fortunate to host over 40 prominent
Northwest chefs. They travel from Seattle, Portland, Eugene
and the coasts to share in the celebration of good food and wine.
Throughout the weekend, our guest chefs create unforgettable
meals with a treasure trove of Oregon ingredients. We invite
you to peruse sample menus from previous events.
