Barents Wine Collectors

A fine wine importer and wine shop in the heart of Riga run by the Best Sommelier of the World 2023, Raimonds Tomsons, and the Best Sommelier of Latvia 2017, Agnese Gintere. A fine and curated collection of high-quality wines with a strong emphasis on grower Champagnes, Burgundy, Austria, Germany and Italy.

All wines are sourced from the cellar doors from small producers working sustainably, and the collection includes highly allocated wines from sought-after producers like Pierre Yves Colin Morey, Egly-Ouriet, Antoine Jobard and Chartogne Taillet, to name just a few. The ambition is to enlarge the collection with wines from the Iberian Peninsula and Greece.

They also offer selected wines by the glass and to go with the wines you can enjoy light snacks in a friendly and ambient environment. There is also a possibility to pick any wine from the shop and enjoy it on the spot paying a friendly corkage fee. During summer they have a beautiful, hidden terrace (Secret Garden).

(Raimonds Tomsons is also Star Wine List's ambassador in Riga, Editor's note.)
