To welcome you to the area, many local wineries host dinners the Thursday evening prior to the IPNC weekend. Wineries should be contacted directly for pricing, availability, reservations, and other arrangements. All dinners start at 6 PM unless otherwise noted. Please note, the IPNC does not organize the Pre-IPNC dinners, but happily provides a list of wineries and restaurants that will be hosting these dinners with their contact information. Reservations must be made directly with the host winery per the listed contact details. We continue to update this page as details are made available, so we encourage you to check back often.|
