Over 100 winemakers from 13 countries set to present their wines in Vienna

More than 350 natural wines, personally presented by winemakers from 13 countries, will be available for tasting in the event spaces of Vienna's MuseumsQuartier on 19 November at Nature in the Glass by Orange Wine Festival. This event is an exceptional opportunity for an in-depth tasting of wines from established winemakers in traditional wine-producing countries and a new generation of young winemakers who have embarked enthusiastically on the path of ethical, nature- and human-friendly agriculture.

The traditional autumn wine festival Nature in the Glass by Orange Wine Festival will showcase more than 350 white, orange, red and sparkling wines in the stunning surroundings of the MuseumsQuartier. Their common denominator is the winemakers' dedication to cultivating the healthiest, purest grapes and bringing them from vine to bottle with as little intervention as possible. Recent years have seen a reinforcing of this commitment to nature and tradition. Natural wines are today one of the leading trends in the wine world and a magnet for many wine lovers who want to know how a wine was made and what its maker's attitude is to nature and the world. In the glass, they expect not just wine but an ethical story and, behind it, growers committed to nature and with an eye on the future.

Wine stories from all over Europe will interweave in the MuseumsQuartier. Winemakers from Austria's wine regions will include such internationally renowned names as Heinrich and Ploder-Rosenberg, young collective Junge Wilde Winzer will offer an exciting glimpse of the future, and Christian Waltl will present wines from the Carinthian Alps, where winemakers are embracing the new opportunities brought by a changing climate.

From Georgia, the ancestral home of wine, a large delegation supported by the National Wine Agency will bring wines made in traditional Georgian amphorae (kvevri) from every wine region in the country – from the Black Sea in the west to the largest region, Kakheti, in the east. The more than 25 wineries set to present their wines in Vienna represent the perfect opportunity to get in touch with the tradition and history of wine and its essential DNA.

Winemakers from Moravia (Czech Republic) and Slovakia will present a wide range of styles, while growers from Slovenia, Italy and Croatia will bring the flavours of the Mediterranean to Vienna. Slovenia's Primorje wine region will also be promoting itself as a destination for food and wine tourism, with a little help from the Slovenian Tourist Board.

Also expected in Vienna are winemakers from Serbia, a rising star in the wine world, and growers from France, Spain, Germany and even Poland, while Wales's Ancre Hills Estates is certain to attract a lot of interest.

This mouth-watering afternoon in the MuseumsQuartier's Ovalhalle and Arena 21 will be complemented by appetisers and a tasting of extra virgin olive oils from the northern Adriatic regions – in both cases presented by producers who share the winemakers' sensitive attitude to nature.
