Veraison started in 2020 as a print magazine about wine. We set out to make the natural wine world that we (and everyone else) fell in love with more accessible.
We wanted to share the tools that helped us drink better while confronting the complexity that wine is inextricably tied to privilege, colonialism and a broken industry.
Through conversations, we drew maps of wine’s intersections with food, hospitality, farming, race, class, music, design, culture. Over time, these intersections became more interesting to us than wine (especially since we don’t have access to that sweet industry discount and it was getting too hard to separate the wine from the winemaker).
As we go online, we’re making room for the thoughts and feelings of our friends and community who love their hyper-focused and niche interests in the same way that we loved natties, holding space for the nuance with more curiosity and less ego. Every article comes from, and is a conversation.
Happy reading.
