Living Wine follows the journeys of natural winemakers in Northern California, during the largest wildfire season on record. Equal parts farmer, winemaker, and artist, they stay true to their ideals of creating exceptional wines made through innovative sustainable and regenerative farming and without chemical additives. Eschewing the industrial agricultural practices of the corporate wine industry – our winemakers are healing the very environment they are surviving, i.e., a changing climate marked by rising temperatures, shorter growing seasons, and more frequent and virulent wildfires.

We love how this film inspires audiences to discover natural wine for the first time. We recommend booking a screening of this film with a film club book club, or a small group, and pairing it with a natural wine. Participants in the film may be available to join for a private virtual tasting. If you run a vineyard, wine shop or restaurant, we highly recommend having a movie night with 'Living Wine.'
