Pinot Noir and Identity Symposium

The Pinot Noir Project is a hub for knowledge exchange. Offering opportunities for interdisciplinary researchers and industry representatives to collaborate and share their findings, we encourage deeper understanding of this iconic grape variety.

It is a hub for knowledge exchange bringing researchers from a wide range of disciplines together with winemakers and industry representatives for collaboration, consultation and participation.

The Pinot Noir and Identity Symposium is the inaugural event organised on the 10-11th july 2025.

The first international symposium aims to focus attention on this grape variety’s unique place in the world of wine by examining how Pinot Noir’s identity has been constructed over the centuries. We invite contributions exploring not only the origins and historical evolution of its status, reputation, and mythology, but also envisaging how these aspects of its identity might be reconstructed in new environmental and commercial contexts.
