“Vyno vieta” means Wine place in Lithuanian and it is a very apt name for a small wine bar based on the fringes of Vilnius city centre.

One big and a few small tables coupled with a huge TV makes it a perfect place for a private tasting or watching basketball game with friends.

Vinería de Chile is one of those small places which you stumble upon accidentally by roaming the many small streets of Vilnius’ Old Town. Or else you come specifically looking for it.

![Burbulio Vyninė, a wine bar in Vilnius, Lithuania.]()
Phone: +370 (8-5) 260 8455
Address: Rūdninkų gatvė 18, Vilnius
Burbulio vyninė is a small wine bar/shop in the old town of Vilnius, not far away from À ta santé. While À ta santé focuses on French wine, Burbullio vyninė’s theme is Italy. And that can be said not only about wine selection but also about snacks like cheeses, cold cuts, and such specialties as nduja. The ambience of the place is also very much Italian: slightly chaotic, laid back, simple, and without a hint of snobbery. And that is a big part of why this place has built a staunch loyal clientele. Most of the wines at Burbulio vyninė are self imported, and since the place works both as a wi...

Best Short List of the Year Lithuania 2025
Vilnius’ Užupis district forms a special and important part of our capital city. Like Copenhagen’s Christiania, it is an artistic hub, full of art galleries, workshops, and boutiques. It has its own community, its own constitution and proclaimed itself an independent republic inside Vilnius itself. It is also becoming an area to visit for a good meal and drink. One of the places creating this reputation is Le Travi, a tiny Italian pasta and natural wine bar. Le Travi’s menu is short and simple.

Phone: +370 652 89444
Address: Literatų gatvė 9, Vilnius
The world nowadays is extremely dynamic and fast changing and nowhere it is felt so much as in the restaurant industry.

Phone: +370 (8-680) 26234
Address: Ligoninės gatvė 7, Vilnius
Tucked in a narrow Ligoninės (Hospital’s) street in Vilnius‘ old town À ta santé is a small cosy wine bar. During weekdays it is a rather quiet and relaxing place, but towards the end of the week, you'll be lucky if you get a seat there. As the name suggests, the bar is focused on French wines and in particular the Loire Valley ― or to be even more precise, Saumur ― which is the home place of the owner Patrick Le Scel.
