Who are the Grape Witches?
The Grape Witches are Nicole Campbell and Krysta Oben, certified sommeliers who grew tired of their nice friends in different industries drinking terrible wine. They banned together to throw natural wine parties and educational events to help connect interested people with great wines.
What is a natural wine?
Natural wine is a reaction against the commercialization and globalization of drinks. It is a movement towards pure, expressive flavours and native grapes from many small corners of the world. Natural wine has no additives and many similarities in taste to your favourite fermented foods and the most delicious sour and lambic beers. The best examples from around the world are in Ontario for the first time if you know where to look — not in the LCBO! — and we can't wait to share them with you.
