Slow Food believes that wine, just as with food, must be good, clean, and fair — not just good.

​

Wine is an agricultural product, just like any of the foods we eat, and has an impact on the lives of the people who produce it, as well as on the environment – through pesticides, herbicides and excessive water consumption which are all commonplace in conventional wine production.

​

Through our guide and U.S. tour, we support and promote small-scale U.S. winemakers who are using traditional techniques, working with respect for the environment and terroir, and safeguarding the incredible biodiversity of grape varieties that are part of our heritage.
