Boston

Boston wears its history in brick and ivy, yet its natural wine scene pulses with academic curiosity. Beyond the college bars, Harvard Square basements pour Jura whites alongside Wellfleet oysters, while Somerville wine shops champion female producers. It's a city where tradition meets fermentation science—cloudy pét-nats in historic pubs, foraged mushrooms with skin-contact reds. Proper, progressive, unfiltered.

Beyond the college bars. Boston's natural wine scene is rooted in New England seasons—think raw oysters from Duxbury, heirloom apples from Western Mass, and line-caught cod paired with low-intervention bottles. From Cambridge's wine shops to South End's neighborhood bistros, these are proper restaurants where the food matters as much as the wine.
