The Best Wine Bars in Montreal: Our suggestions
We’ve rounded up Montreal’s best wine bars and in a city known for its love of wine, this was no easy task! Although they have been around for decades in Montreal, it’s a new generation of natural wine bars that are taking over the city. These establishments specialize in dionysian pursuits and focus on high-quality, low-intervention wines. In these establishments, wine is at the heart of everything and as wine lovers, those are priorities we can get behind.
Depending on how the mood strikes you might choose to work your way through a list of wines by the glass or tuck into a bottle of something exciting. From the kitchen, dishes are generally designed to accompany the excellent selection of wines on offer (think bar food, but more sophisticated). Looking for a classic bar? Check out our list of the best bars in Montreal.

Whether you’re a budding sommelier, a wine lover or just curious about natural and organic wines, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Montreal’s best wine bars offer a wide selection of red, white, rosé and orange wines, as well as an interesting choice of bubbles.
