Where to Find Natural Wine: Washington DC

Posted by Holly Berrigan on

We are very excited about the amount of natural wine coming into the district!

With the highest amount of wine consumed per capita, we are drinking more wine than the rest of the United States and spending more per bottle than other markets as well.

This bodes well for natural wines, since they typically run higher than regular wine, and creates a lot of opportunities here!

RESTAURANTS:

All these restaurants have either a full natural wine list (some even make their own natural wine, like 2amys! Others you'll need to consult the somm or waiter to see which are natural or not.
