The World of Natural Wine

At Moosewood, we’re drawn to food and drink that reflect care, craft, and a deep respect for the natural world. The World of Natural Wine captures that spirit beautifully. Author Aaron Ayscough invites readers into the vibrant, sometimes surprising universe of wines made with minimal intervention - wines that tell the story of their place, their growers, and the seasons that shaped them.

Ayscough is a leading voice in the natural wine movement, known for his clear-eyed storytelling and global perspective. In this book, he travels from vineyard to vineyard, introducing the farmers, fermenters, and thinkers who are redefining what wine can be. The result is both an accessible introduction and a rich exploration, celebrating wines that are alive, expressive, and rooted in sustainable, human-scale agriculture.

A thoughtful, curious guide for anyone who believes that what’s in the glass matters just as much as what’s on the plate, and a natural fit for the Moosewood table.
