Berlin is not the first city that comes to mind when you think of Champagne, and that’s part of what makes it interesting. The city has a huge and varied drinking scene, from wine bars and restaurants to neighbourhood spots where a glass of Champagne can be part of a much more relaxed evening.
You’ll find Champagne in different parts of the city, whether you’re looking for a glass during the day, an aperitif before dinner or a bottle to share over a long meal. And because Berlin has such a strong wine scene, it’s also a good place to explore German sparkling wine alongside Champagne.
Berlin’s wine scene is as diverse as the city itself. You’ll find traditional wine bars alongside natural wine spots, restaurants with serious wine lists and smaller neighbourhood places where the atmosphere matters as much as what’s in the glass.
If you’re visiting Berlin as a Champagne lover, don’t limit yourself to the famous Champagne Houses. Look for grower Champagne and smaller producers, particularly in wine-focused places where the selection goes beyond the usual big names.
It’s also worth trying something German while you’re here. Sekt is Germany’s traditional sparkling wine category, and you may come across bottles made from Riesling, Pinot varieties and other local grapes. If you see Winzersekt on a wine list, it’s particularly worth a look – these wines are made by individual winegrowers from their own grapes.
Berlin’s neighbourhoods also make a difference to the drinking experience. Mitte, Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg and Charlottenburg all have very different atmospheres and food scenes, so rather than travelling across the entire city for one particular drink, it can make sense to look for Champagne around wherever you’re spending the evening.
Berlin is a city where you can make Champagne fit almost any kind of evening. A casual glass at a wine bar works just as well as a bottle with dinner, and the city’s relaxed attitude to going out means you don’t necessarily need a special occasion.
If you’re interested in German bubbles, Berlin is also a good place to compare Champagne with Sekt and Winzersekt. They may share the same basic idea – sparkling wine – but the grapes, production methods and regional traditions can make the finished wines very different.

Look for Sekt, and especially Winzersekt if you want to explore German sparkling wine at a more producer-focused level. You may find bottles made with Riesling, Pinot Noir and other German-grown grapes.
Winzersekt is sparkling wine made by a winegrower from their own grapes. If you enjoy Champagne, it’s a useful term to know when exploring German sparkling wines.
There isn’t one single wine district. Mitte, Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg and Charlottenburg all have different food and drinking scenes, so the Champagne Hunters map is useful for finding options close to wherever you’re spending your time.
Berlin’s food scene is incredibly varied, so you’re not limited to traditional German dishes. Seafood, oysters, Asian food, modern European cuisine and lighter snacks can all work beautifully with Champagne.
