UNFILTERED - Natural Wine Festival 2026

The Baltics' dedicated natural wine festival is coming to VEF KVARTALS. We are bringing together a massive, carefully curated selection spanning 14 countries—wines and drinks from creators who farm with respect for nature and bottle without compromise.

This festival is built around a simple idea: bringing great wine, serious food, and good people into one room. It’s a space to taste, discover, and share the experience.

What your ticket includes:

• A Journey Across 14 Countries: Taste your way through the diverse terroirs of Europe and beyond—from ancestral volcanic hills in Italy and pristine Austrian valleys to modern Danish expressions and rare low-intervention pours from Georgia, Ukraine, and Serbia.

• Unlimited tasting (300+ low-intervention expressions): Your ticket covers all pours throughout the day. With an incredible range where each producer features 5 to 6 distinct cuvées, the scope for discovery is massive.

• Meet the Winemakers (40+ producers in person): More than 40 growers and creators will be behind the tables themselves, sharing their stories and pouring their own juice.

• Exclusive Importer & Bar Showcases: In addition to the winemakers present, you can explore rare pours and artisanal sake from an additional 15+ world-class cult producers presented directly at the dedicated LOWINE, VIETA, Sauvage, bene placito, and Yoigokochi Sake showcase tables (featuring names like Milan Nestarec, Gut Oggau, Meinklang, Prieuré Roch, and more).

• Beyond the grape: Expand your palate with exceptional wild-fermented ciders, artisanal vermouths, craft beer, and premium non-alcoholic options.

• Proper glassware (Gabriel-Glas): Every ticket includes a premium Gabriel-Glas to use for the tasting and take home with you.

• Soundtrack: We will warm up the afternoon with atmospheric sets leading into the main event and festival highlight—a LIVE performance by ASM (A State of Mind). After the concert, VINYL DJs will keep the energy high to close out the night.

• Great gastronomy: We take food as seriously as the wine. Expect chef-driven pop-ups, specialty coffee, and honest plates designed to match the quality in your glass. (Food and coffee available for an additional charge).
