How to Find and Buy Natural Wine

Natural Wine Sales Person

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.

In Stores, Wine Bars, and Restaurants

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.

How to know if a location has natural wine:

You're probably wondering, "this is great, but what how do I find natural wine store near ME!" The simple answer is to just ask. If that is too much conversation, then doing some research or using an app can help you find out if a location is selling natural wine.

Ask Your Local Wine Store

The easiest way to know if somewhere has natural wines is usually to ask. You can call or even better, follow your local wine stores and restaurants on Instagram because sometimes the store will post about new wines.

If the wine shop not sure what you mean when you say natural wine, some other great questions to ask are if they have: biodynamic wine, organic wine, low intervention wines, orange wines, or pét nat wines. Because if the answer to any of those questions is yes, then that wine shop likely has natural wine.

Use an App

France came out with a wonderful app called Raisin. It is like a mix of Vivino, Instagram, and Google maps of producers and locations that serve or sell natural wine. If you're in a larger metropolitan area, it is likely they will have a few places for you to check out.
Note: they only put on places that serve at least 30% natural wine, so just because a place isn't on the list, doesn't mean they don't have them.
