How to Find and Buy Natural Wine
While the amount of natural wines is increasing across the US, it is still quite difficult to find. Then, even if you find it, can be difficult to know if the wine natural or not. Luckily, there are some great resources out there that can help find great places that serve or sell it. Additionally, there are more online shops and clubs where you can have wine delivered to your house.
Technically, finding natural wine and buying it can be two different processes, so before getting into the nitty gritty, below is the TL;DR version for finding AND buying natural wine!
Where to Buy Natural Wine?
There are a few types of places to purchase natural wine: a shop, and online store, a natural wine bar, or restaurants that caries them on their wine lists. Many stores and bars now advertise themselves as serving natural wine, but depending on your location some digging may be required to find out if a wine store near you carries it.

Where to Find Natural Wine?
Beyond being able to buy natural wine in stores, restaurants, wine bars, and online shops, you can also find them at all kinds of lovely events and tastings across the United States and the world. From RAW WINE Fair to Nat Diego and many in between there is likely a fair/event happening within a relatively close distance to you and definitely in the big cities.
While not every city will have natural wine stores, larger cities around the US likely have stores that caries at least a couple of wines. Do not despair if you're in the heartland, you can likely find a bottle of wine or two with the right amount of sleuthing.
