On January 12 and 13, 2025, 40 winemakers and 200 wines for the first collective tasting organized by the Association of Natural Winemakers Overseas.

On Sunday, January 12 and Monday, January 13, 2025, Rule of Thirds Restaurant, a Japanese restaurant and event space in Brooklyn, will host the first edition of VinNatur NYC .

The event - a tasting table where 40 member producers will be present with over 200 wines for tasting - will be developed with a hybrid formula over two days: Sunday 12 January, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, it will be open to both the public and industry professionals, while Monday 13 January, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, it will be reserved exclusively for journalists and industry professionals. The format was born from the experience gained in over fifteen years of events organized in Italy and abroad by the association which today has 300 member producers from 12 different countries and united by the aim of wanting to create a product that is good for man but also for nature and the environment. VinNatur is the only association of natural winemakers to guarantee, through its production protocol established in 2017, that all wines produced and bottled by companies fall within pre-established parameters, to protect the consumer.

“This new collective meeting in New York It is certainly an opportunity to better understand our way of interpreting viticulture and our production philosophy that respects what surrounds us, themes that have always been dear to the American market – explains Gianpaolo Giacobbo , Advisor of VinNatur –. But, very concretely, it also presents itself as an excellent opportunity to encourage the meeting of associated winemakers with importers and distributors in the Canadian and US markets”.

In addition to the 40 producers who will tell their stories through glasses and will be able to interact directly with visitors, a tasting counter will be available with an additional 50 references from 25 other associated producers, managed by a sommelier service. The two-day event will be preceded by a calendar of evenings , created specifically for the occasion, in selected New York venues.

Tickets to VinNatur NYC can be purchased starting in November through the Eventbrite platform. Importers, distributors, retailers, restaurant and wine bar owners can request accreditation for the event starting in mid-November, while journalists can already submit their request by writing to press@vinnatur.org .

VinNatur was founded in 2006 with the aim of uniting small producers of natural wine, from Italy and Europe, in an association that allows them to promote their products: wines that are the result of healthy agriculture that excludes the use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, favoring natural practices. At the same time, the Association aims to promote the development of specific skills in the viticultural and natural oenological field. Over the years, the number of member producers has grown significantly, reaching the current 300 companies from twelve different nations.
