RAW WINE New York returns to Industry City for 2026
The natural wine fair's 2026 edition lands in Brooklyn on 8–9 November, as a crowded November calendar brings growers to New York, Milan, Brussels and Berlin.
RAW WINE New York returns on 8 and 9 November, moving the fair dedicated to organic, biodynamic and low-intervention wine to Industry City in Brooklyn for its 2026 edition.
The event is run by Isabelle Legeron, France's first female Master of Wine, who founded RAW WINE in London in 2012. It has since become a reference fair for growers working with minimal chemical intervention, visiting cities across Europe, Asia and North America each year.
Last year's New York edition, held at 99 Scott Studios in Bushwick, drew more than 120 growers, with 50 pouring in the city for the first time. Producers travelled from as far as Austria, Brazil, Japan and South Africa to stand alongside winemakers from New York's own Finger Lakes and Long Island.
Long tables, growers pouring their own wine — the format hasn't changed in a decade.
RAW WINE New York opens a packed month
The fair lands at the start of a crowded November for the category. VinNatur holds its second Milan session on 8 November, the same weekend as Milan's own wine week draws two hubs of events across the city. Grrrabuge gathers growers in Brussels on 14 and 15 November, and RAW WINE closes out the month with its Berlin fair on 29 November, according to the natural wine guide Raisin's November calendar.
The clustering is deliberate. Fairs increasingly schedule around each other so touring producers, many working tiny plots with no distributor, can justify a single transatlantic trip to pour for importers, sommeliers and the public across several cities in one go.
What Brooklyn gets this year
The 2026 edition moves from Bushwick to Industry City, the Sunset Park complex that already hosts food halls and small manufacturers. Doors open at noon on the Sunday, with the fair running separate trade and public sessions across both days.
Past New York editions have paired the tastings with food from independent kitchens and coffee roasters rather than hotel catering, part of a pitch that natural wine belongs with casual, independent venues rather than formal pairing menus.
The format has not changed in over a decade: long tables, growers pouring their own wine, and no spit buckets hidden from view. What has changed is the audience, from a niche crowd of importers to a public strong enough to sell out trade sessions within days of tickets going live.
