Encounter is inspired by a love of agriculture, and by extent, natural wine.

This means wines that are made with minimal intervention: organic or biodynamic farming, hand-picked grapes, natural yeasts, and little to no added acids, tannins, enzymes, fining, filtration, or sulfites. It shows terroir and vintage, focusing on sustainability and transparency.

Unlike industry-exclusive wine fairs, these events aim to introduce natural wines to curious consumers, showcasing the diversity of flavors and unique characteristics of these wines.

Expect to find an array of producers, both local and from across the globe, sharing their stories and pouring their natural wines for you to taste. You'll learn about the winemaking process, the different grapes used, and the low-intervention techniques that make natural wines so special.
