LOWINE BAR

Crowned “A Special Award for Natural & Low Intervention Wine Selection! Best Czech wine list in the Baltics!” at the Baltic Wine & Drinks Awards 2024.

Named Riga’s natural wine hotspot and already a cult address for wine lovers, LOWINE BAR continues to redefine the city’s drinking culture.

With more than 100 natural, biodynamic, and organic wines on the list – including cult names and grower Champagnes like Etienne Calsac and Moussé served by the glass – LOWINE sets the benchmark for discovery and ease. Behind it all, Antons Zilins & Co have created a space that is both unpretentious and pioneering, a true celebration of flavour and texture.

In the kitchen, chef Aleksei Zalygin delivers relaxed yet refined cuisine that pairs effortlessly with the bottles on offer. And yes, “breakfast” here starts at 8 am, making LOWINE one of the most original wine destinations in the Baltics.

LOWINE’s recommends: Milan Nestarec TRBLMKR 2021 – a vibrant, textural white wine from the Czech Republic, playful in name but serious in craft.

Our choice: You know what Champenois drink at harvest time right before dinner? That’s right – Ratafia! So how about we start with Moussé’s La Vie en Meunier Ratafia (remember, it’s sweet!), and then continue the evening with something as natural (and good) as it gets – 2019 Felsen II Syrah by Christian Tschida! Both amazing values, and loads of fun!
