Privacy policyChampagne city guide
Madrid has a lively and sophisticated food and wine scene, with Champagne appearing in everything from elegant hotel bars and fine-dining restaurants to wine-focused spots where you can settle in for a glass or two. The city centre is a good place to start, but areas such as Salamanca, Chamberí and Chueca are also worth exploring.
Madrid is also a great place to discover Spanish sparkling wine alongside Champagne. You’ll find Cava from Catalonia and other traditional-method bubbles from around Spain, while the city’s excellent restaurants make it easy to pair them with everything from oysters and seafood to jamón and tapas.
Madrid is made for long lunches, late dinners and a glass of Champagne somewhere in between. Don’t be afraid to explore beyond the main tourist streets – some of the best food and wine experiences are tucked away in neighbourhoods where locals actually spend their evenings.
Check the Champagne Hunters map before you go, and if you find a place that’s already listed, comment and share your experience. If you discover somewhere missing, add your find to the map yourself – especially if you find a good Champagne-by-the-glass option.

Absolutely. Madrid is a great place to explore Spanish wine alongside international bottles, with plenty of specialist wine bars and restaurants taking wine seriously.
Try Cava, particularly traditional-method examples from Catalonia. You may also come across sparkling wines from other Spanish regions, which can be fun to compare with Champagne.
Try jamón, oysters, seafood, tapas and Spanish cheeses. The combination of salty, savoury small plates and Champagne works particularly well for a long evening of sharing food.
Explore wines from around Spain, such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Albariño and Sherry. Madrid is a particularly good place to discover wines from different regions without having to travel across the country.
Explore the Prado Museum, Retiro Park, Royal Palace and the historic centre, but leave plenty of time to simply wander through neighbourhoods such as Malasaña, Chueca and Chamberí.
Yes, absolutely. Madrid combines excellent food, an exciting wine scene, art, architecture and a famously social nightlife. It’s a city where long lunches and late dinners make it very easy to fit Champagne into the day.
