Raisin: Natural Wine & Food 17+

We plan our trips around Raisin now.

Raisin is *the* go-to app for us. Before we plan a vacation, we look at cities that have numerous places on Raisin. Raisin has helped us find some of the best natural wine + dining experiences we’ve ever had. Will not stop talking about it and encouraging others to download it!

My only criticism, I wish it was easier to “suggest” places that aren’t on the app. Sometimes we stumble upon hidden gems that should be on Raisin. It requires you to submit photos and other evidence, which is cumbersome.

Click on the big plus in the right bottom corner on the map and you'll be able to add new natural wine spots. Thanks for your support! ❤️🍷

Misleading

Did you know that they only show locations that carry 30% or more of wine that has gone through THEIR PERSONAL verification process? Based on my experience of the process these are the people who have paid to jump to the front of the line. So the super small 100% natural winemakers don’t have the opportunity to benefit from visibility on this platform even though they absolutely meet their criteria. Additionally, Winemakers that don’t see the benefit of paying an app to verify their practices are also not listed despite being 100% within Raisin’s criteria. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the wines they list are the only natural wines on the market or that the stores listed are the only stores that carry a significant amount of natural wine.

We understand your concerns and appreciate your perspective. However, we want to clarify that every venue and winemaker featured on our platform must meet strict natural wine criteria—having at least 30% natural wine—before being listed. This process is independent of payment, and no one can pay to bypass our verification.

Our goal is not to claim exclusivity but to provide a trusted resource for natural wine lovers. We recognize that there are many amazing winemakers and venues beyond our platform, and we always welcome suggestions to improve our listings. If you know of great producers or spots that should be featured, feel free to share—we're here to support the natural wine community together!

Amazing app!

I’ve been working in the Wine industry for over 5 years now and i’ve been following, enjoying and working with natural wines since the beginning.
This is the only app fully dedicated to the true natural wine world.
You can find uncountable places of all sorts (bars, restaurants, stores) and it also gives you a great idea of wines that are being produced out there and might not be available to you in the area you live.
I love it and highly recommend!
