13 wine bar places in Vilnius we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Vilnius | Wine Bar across every city.
Wine bars have become one of the livelier formats in Vilnius, often attached to the kitchens of the city's best restaurants. In the naujamiestis, Somm, Demo Wine Bar and Gaspar's Wine Cellar lead the low-intervention crowd, while the senamiestis keeps 14Horses Wine Bar, Sklepas and Šiaurys Wine Bar. Across in Užupis, Amandus Wine Bar and Open Kitchen Wine Bar tie the format to the artists' quarter.
Somm on Pylimo opposite the MO Museum is owner Narimantas Miežys's Michelin-Selected wine bar, with 500-plus bottles and a small share-plates kitchen.
OrderA flight chosen by Miežys; the wine list is the genuine draw.
TipOrder from the wine list rather than the food carte; a sommelier-owned room shows in the pours.
Somm opposite the MO Museum is Narimantas Miežys's Michelin-Selected wine bar with 500-plus bottles, a small kitchen and a top-of-Baltic sommelier behind it.
OrderA flight chosen by Miežys; the wine list is the genuine draw, not the carte.
TipSommelier-owned; trust the pours over the food. Closed Sunday and Monday for staff rest.
Somm opposite the MO Museum is Narimantas Miežys's Michelin-Selected wine bar with 500-plus bottles, a small kitchen and one of the Baltic's top sommeliers.
TipTrust the pours over the food. Sommelier-owned; the room has the right glassware.
Gaspar's cellar room runs alongside the Michelin Bib Gourmand dinner, with a Portuguese-Iberian-leaning list paired with Goan small plates and a wine flight.
TipOrder a flight chosen by the cellar; the wine pairing here punches above the price.
Demo at Demoloftas pours a tightly-edited natural wine list to match Tadas Eidukevičius's Michelin tasting menus, with Baltic skin-contact whites featured.
TipYou can drop in to the cafe at Demoloftas for the wine list without booking the full tasting menu.
Rūmai on Pilies is a small Old Town wine bar with a Eastern European and Georgian skin-contact focus, a curated cheese board and a low-key Senamiestis.
TipGeorgian qvevri orange is the menu signature; the cheese board for two pairs well.
Sklepas on Šv. Mikalojaus is a hidden-cellar wine bar near Šnekutis, with an Italian-leaning natural list and a daily-changing small-plate menu chalked.
TipHidden enough that you walk past it. Watch for the chalkboard wine specials each evening.
14Horses pours a small natural-wine list alongside its Bib Gourmand carte in Senatorių Passage, with skin-contact whites and Lithuanian pet-nats poured.
TipYou can order the wine list off the menu without committing to the full carte. Try the Lithuanian pet-nat.
Amandus on Užupio runs a small wine bar room alongside the Michelin-listed dining room, with bar snacks and a list of Baltic and central-European bottles.
TipBar snacks are cheaper than the full tasting menu; the wine list is the same depth.
Sweet Root's wine pairing is the smallest, most personal list in the Užupis dining axis, with natural and biodynamic Baltic and central-European bottles.
TipThe pairing is the entire wine option; no a la carte glasses. Book the tasting to access the list.
Open Kitchen at Tymo Turgus runs a small wine bar inside the food-hall set-up next to Užupis, with Lithuanian-grower pours and a rotating food-hall bite menu.
TipCombine with a food-hall walk; the wine bar holds a small bar counter rather than a full dining room.
Šiaurys on Vokiečių leans north for its list, with Estonian fruit wines, Latvian skin-contacts and a small Lithuanian-charcuterie board built around.
TipEstonian elderflower is unusual and worth a glass. The Vilnius skilandis on the board comes from Sumeliškės.
Pylimo Wine Room sits opposite Somm on the same Naujamiestis strip, with a classic French old-world list, plates of pâté and quiche and a quieter wine-bar.
TipThe cheaper of the two Pylimo wine rooms. Old-world classic by-glass selection is good.
