Wine is fine · Athens
Wine is Fine, Athens
This buzzy, Parisian-style wine bar is part of a new wave of design-minded spots redefining the Greek capital. Settle in for local pours and excellent small plates—like oeuf mayonnaise, steak tartare, and cacio e pepe—then linger on the terrace for excellent people-watching.
WHAT OUR TASTEMAKERS SAY "Hands down the best restaurant in Athens for atmosphere, food and natural wine. Go for dinner with friends and stop into Angie (their new discoteque that just opened around the corner for some of the best dancing I've ever had). Order: all the things." - dianabartlett
Folderol · Paris
Folderol, Paris
While this wine bar-meets-ice cream shop went viral when it opened in 2020, the scene has since softened into something a bit more relaxed (plus, it now has a second location in the 11th). Grab a seat at the counter, order a glass of natural wine, and pair it with one of their nostalgic, offbeat ice cream flavors like melon basil or orange creamsicle.
WHAT OUR TASTEMAKERS SAY ”No more long queues and trendy madness - Folderol is back! The ice cream is undeniably delicious (I would go as far as saying it’s the best in Paris) and their wine selection is great.” - iratassoulis
café twee prinsen · Amsterdam
Café Twee Prinsen, Amsterdam
If the sun is out in Amsterdam, this canal-side wine bar is one of the best places to spend the afternoon. The natural wine list is excellent, but there’s plenty more to love: late-day sun on the terrace, excellent small plates, good music, and prime people-watching.
WHAT OUR TASTEMAKERS SAY “My husband started this place with the guys from Binnenvisser ❤️. The guys put together a great wine list that is always changing. You can order a mean Negroni too! In the summer the terrace catches the late afternoon sun which is amazing and in the winter it's super cozy.” - carmenatiyah
Bar La Sang · Palma
Bar La Sang, Mallorca
One of Palma’s finest natural wine bars, Bar La Sang boasts a warm, romantic atmosphere that works just as well for a date as it does for a post-dinner drink. The walls are lined with bottles, the wine list leans natural and organic, and the tapas—like burrata toast with anchovies and lemon zest—are worth ordering generously.

At this local spot in El Poble-sec, the design is post-industrial yet intimate: a mirror-clad column in the center, velvet armchairs, and a bold green marble bar.
