Eden: Natty Win Garden Oakland - 10.19.25 - Meet the Players! TyTy @tytywine stands for Thankyou Thankyou.  Thankyou to mother earth for providing beautiful fruit every year and Thankyou to YOU for the support.  Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai’i, founder and winemaker Tyler Arford discovered natural wine in 2018.  Upon the first sip he was immediately hooked and for the first time in his life, wine spoke to him on a deep, spiritual and existential level. After a decade of working in the Sports Medicine field Tyler very quickly knew that he wanted to become a winemaker.  The first vintage was a small 2 tons back in 2020 and he hasn’t looked back since.  Pivoting his Sports Med/Fitness coaching career online, Tyler has been able to triple his tonnage each year.  The 22/23 vintages provide the most diverse lineup of TyTy wine to date.  Making natural wine in Richmond, Tyler specializes in floral orange wines, angular whites and fun energetic Péttilant Naturel!  Only working with organic fruit and eschewing any additives in the cellar TyTy Wine is proud to claim the ZERO ZERO tag. Expect fun energy from these wines, just like the winemaker himself! ⚡️ - Eden: Natty Wine Garden Oakland is THIS WEEKEND, October 19 @12p !
