The guide to 18 wine bars in Buenos Aires 2026

Somos Cava

Phone: +54 117 197 5299

Address: Charlone 100

A 2025 newcomer, Somos Cava’s list is a breath of fresh air for its breadth of styles and wineries, given that many openings take the low-intervention wine route in Buenos Aires. A dedicated wine bar located in trendy Chacartia and led by sommeliers Pablo Colina (formerly of Vico) and Gabriela Vinocur, the duo stocks what they love to sip, from big names to natural wines. By-the-glass options change daily, including co-fermentations and clarete (a blend of red and white wines) styles. Purchase bottles to take away and get 20 percent off.

ProVinCia

Phone: +54 116 598 3099

Address: Virrey Loreto 2035 Subsuelo

Its eponymous sister wine bar has long been a respected and beloved watering hole in the Retiro neighbourhood, and this second location is also poised to shine. Moving into a four-storey building in Belgrano that’s also home to a specialty coffee shop and an omakase, ProVinCia is tucked in the basement. The wine cellar is impressive, while glassware is top-notch too. Enjoy a bottle from an armchair in the comfortable lounge, or sign up for a tasting around the large communal table. While there isn’t a hot kitchen, the selection of regional cheeses and charcuterie is excellent.

Diviiino

Phone: +54 113 168 2007

Address: José Antonio Cabrera 5300

Operating from a sunny Palermo corner, it’s easy to slip into the creeper-embraced façade decorated with white painted glassware and bottles of Diviiino. Sommelier Mauricio Florez has a solid mix, showing organic labels, projects championing old vineyards, and conventional wines from well-known bodegas. DJs spin records every night, adding to Diviiino’s analogue charm.

878 Bar

Phone: +54 11 4773 1098

Address: Thames 878, Buenos Aires

A renowned cocktail bar that sommelier Julián Diaz and his partner, designer Florencia Capella, opened in Villa Crespo at the start of the noughties. 878 has long been the spot for F&B people to congregate and gather after night shifts. While they set up ‘el ocho’ as the original speakeasy in Argentina to serve carefully crafted drinks as well as great food, they also love to renovate historic architectural properties such as notable bar Los Galgos in Congreso and Roma pizzería in Almagro.

Vereda Adentro

Address: 11 de Septiembre de 1888 3201

Female-owned Vereda Adentro sees Lucia Bulacio, Pamela Godoy and Tania Diaz Frontini jointly curating the wines, developing dishes, managing the finances and leading a friendly, committed team. Most importantly, they are the hosts behind a unique and enriching experience that truly enlivens this corner of the Núñez neighbourhood. Dedicated to serving natural and biodynamic wines, this bar is pretty tiny – just 27 metres squared – but the vereda (pavement) is vast for al fresco drinking. Techno music might pump from the speakers as they serve tasty thoughtfully prepared dishes, as well as cr...

Acuario Bar

Phone: +54 111 522 779 994

Address: Casa de Estudios para Artistas, Paraguay 900

The Buenos Aires wine bar opening of 2025, Acuario has caught bon vivants’ attention from day one. Located a Modernist and Rationalist-style architectural gem, this curvy watering hole previously operated as a leather store before sommelier Mateo García de Onrubia and his sisters Jules and Lucila breathed new life into it – and in so doing, also breathing life into the often-overlooked Retiro. Acuario puts emphasis on Argentine natural wines, but also curios, which can include examples such as sparkling wines from the traditional López winery, or pét-nat from Buenos Aires province.

Aldo’s Palermo

Phone: 011 7113-1480

Address: Azopardo 780, Montserrat

The brainchild of sommelier Aldo Graziani, the Palermo branch of his eponymous restaurant offers up the same solid contemporary fare with Italian and Mediterranean influence and a wide array of local vintages as the Monserrat one, but in more space. The leafy front patio is a lovely spot for a lazy outdoor lunch prepared by chef Leonardo Azulay, while a dynamic team of sommeliers make excellent recommendations from the 500-strong cellar, named after the late Argentine wine writer Elisabeth Checa. They take pride in selecting vintages from small- and medium-size producers though there’s also a...

Aldo’s Palermo is temporarily closed.

Anchoita Cava

Phone: +54 11 4854-9334

Address: Juan Ramírez de Velasco 1456

By the Glass List of the Year International Open 2026

Half a block away from sibling establishment Anchoita, this Chacarita-based cava (wine bar) is run with the same passion and vigour as the restaurant. It’s a tiny space that has, fortunately, grown in size to accommodate many more regulars, who come for the 73 by-the-glass options. The sommelier team is extremely knowledgeable and one of the best in Buenos Aires. Cava cellars 140 Argentine and world vintages, as well as 110 cheeses that are aged in-house and, in 2026 was a finalist in the Star Wine List of the Year International Open competition, for the Best Short List prize. Local somms...

Crizia

Phone: +54 11 4776-5005

Address: Fitz Roy 1819

While this fish-and-seafood-led restaurant in Palermo Hollywood has long housed a great collection of vintages with plenty of whites to boot, the wine programme has gone from strength to strength since moving premises in 2022. Chef-patron Gabriel Oggero and partner Geraldine Gastaldo are hugely passionate about wine and Crizia has eye-catching purpose-built vertical cellar towers above the oyster bar, open-plan kitchen, and dining room. Ask about the notable magnum collection. Short on time, like I often am? Stop by for a half-dozen Patagonian bivalves cultivated in the open sea with a classic...

Casa Cavia

Phone: +54 11 4809-8600

Address: Cavia 2985, Buenos Aires

Located in one of Buenos Aires’ most beautifully refurbished mansions, enjoy lunch on Casa Cavia’s gorgeous outdoor patio or dinner in the impeccably designed dining room in Palermo Chico. The restaurant’s kitchen is led by executive chef Julieta Caruso, the former right-hand woman to Andoni Luis Aduriz at Mugaritz. She takes inspiration from music, movies or literature for her seasonal menus. The extensive wine list based on small producers is managed by executive sommelier Mariana Torta. The bar is also notable; enjoy a signature cocktail at the eye-catching bar, created by talented mixologi...

Florería Atlantico

Phone: +54 11 4313-6093

Address: Arroyo 872, Buenos Aires

An absolute drinking must-visit in Buenos Aires that continually ranks as one of the World’s ‘50 Best Bars’. Fantastic cocktails inspired by migrants, indigenous communities and autochthonous ingredients are created by top bartender Tato Giovannoni, while the front of house is led by Aline Vargas. There’s also a fantastic selection of natural wines and excellent bar food, with many dishes cooked on the parrilla (grill). A hidden watering hole, Florería is located on a stylish street in Retiro (a revival neighbourhood) in the basement of a florist and vinoteca (so you can pick up labels to ta...

Gran Bar Danzon

Phone: +54 11 4811-1108

Address: Libertad 1161, AAW Buenos Aires

I love Gran Bar Danzon. This is where I stopped working as a bartender and started my training to become a sommelier over twenty years ago. It has a very comprehensive wine list, including many old vintages that are sometimes hard to find, and several different wines offered by the glass.

Lardito

Phone: +54 011 7625-7836

Address: Avenida Jorge Newbery 3655

Forming part of the successful wave of wine store and restaurant hybrids in Buenos Aires, Lardito is literally blooming. Tucked away on a busy Chacarita avenue, the main dining room is dominated by a single banquet table, whose vases and floral arrangements elegantly separate diners. Lardito gets packed, so book ahead to enjoy the 300-strong label selection and small plates for sharing, such as aguachile and prawn bao. There’s no printed wine menu, so browse the vinoteca and choose your vintage with your eyes; the team tends to stock low-intervention, organic and biodynamic wines from small-...

Naranjo

Address: Ángel Justiniano Carranza 1059

The wine bar that kickstarted a flurry of similar openings in Chacarita, Naranjo takes pride in championing small producers of low-intervention wines, from across Argentina’s latitudes and elevations. But rather than live and die by the natural wine sword, the 180-strong cellar also features top vintages from well-known conventional producers, allowing both worlds to coexist. While there is no written list per se, I love to browse the enormous fridges and see for myself what new stock owner Nahuel Carbajo has acquired. A popular and buzzy spot, it’s definitely a place to be seen; go early to b...

Palacio Duhau

Phone: +54 11 5171-1234

Address: Avenida Alvear 1661, Buenos Aires

Built a century ago, when Argentina was one of the richest countries on Earth, the stunning Duhau Palace is a Park Hyatt hotel today. This beautiful place, located on the legendary Avenida Alvear in Recoleta, boasts a restaurant, a cocktail and cigar bar, a wine bar and Buenos Aires’ only serious cheese cellar. It’s a food and wine lover’s paradise.

Pain et Vin

Phone: +54 11 4832-5654

Address: Gorriti 5132, Buenos Aires

When it opened its doors in 2013, this wine bar in Palermo Soho quickly became one of the key places to explore Argentina’s regions one-on-one with a sommelier at wine tastings. Every afternoon Pain et Vin offers an hour-long tutored degustaciones, exploring Argentina’s wine history and grape varieties. You can also try the daily wine flight and cheese board―all the sourdough is baked in house―or take your time to savour wines by the glass or bottle.

Vico

Phone: +54 11 4773-2311

Address: Gurruchaga 1149, Buenos Aires

The first wine bar in Buenos Aires to import pour-yourself wine machines, Vico has shiny dispensers holding 85 wines – mostly from around Argentina – from which to choose. Simply top up a card, and slot it in before choosing the measure of choice. It’s a great way to taste your way around the country if you opt for small measures. Come for the wine, and stay for dinner at this buzzy spot, or simply a palate-cleansing cocktail.

Vini

Address: República Árabe Siria 3037

This wine bar is located in the heart of Palermo Botánico, retaining an air of much-needed tranquillity. One of the joys of coming to Vini – a joint project set up by sommeliers and best friends Luciano ‘Lucky’ Sosto and Aldo Graziani – is that around six of the 60 listed vintages are opened every day to enjoy by the glass, and this selection changes every fortnight; put yourself in Lucky’s hands and go with the flow. The focus, albeit not exclusively, is on low-intervention and easy-drinking wines, and there are also a few vertical gems. Enjoy them on the street-side deck or inside with oliv...
