Unfiltered: A Beginner’s Guide to Natural Wine

What is natural wine—and why does it taste the way it does?

Natural Wine 101 is a welcoming, no-judgment deep dive into one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) corners of the wine world. We’ll break down what “natural wine” actually means, how it differs from conventional wine, and why farming, fermentation, and human intervention matter so much in the glass.

You’ll taste a curated lineup of bottles that showcase a range of styles—from fresh and vibrant to textured and wild—while learning how to talk about what you’re tasting without needing a sommelier vocabulary.

You’ll leave with:
• A clear understanding of what makes a wine “natural”
• Tools to trust your own palate
• Confidence ordering natural wine at bars, shops, and restaurants

No experience necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to taste.
