Weāve visited Riga multiple times over the years, and every trip reminds us why we love this city. With its beautiful architecture, romantic atmosphere, and growing wine culture, Riga is an ideal place for champagne lovers.
Most of our explorations have centered around the Old Town, but during our latest visit, we also ventured beyond the city center-and we were rewarded with some truly memorable discoveries. Below are some of our favorite places in Riga to enjoy a glass (or bottle) of champagne.
Magnum Bar
Magnum Bar offered us a truly fantastic experience. We had a great conversation with the owner, and the bar features an impressive selection of champagnesāboth by the glass and by the bottle. It’s clear that this place is run with passion, and we were genuinely impressed by the range and quality of options available. Highly recommended for champagne lovers.

A cozy and stylish spot with a laid-back vibe, Vieta is a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of champagne. The bar has a minimalistic Nordic feel, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it perfect for an after-dinner glass or a casual afternoon toast. Great for locals and travelers alike.

Noble Wine Bar

One of the best champagnes weāve ever had came from this elegant boutique wine bar. With its refined interior and outstanding selection, Noble Wine Bar offers both bottle and glass options of some truly exciting finds.
Located in a beautiful neighborhood outside the Old Town, itās worth the short walk for a sophisticated champagne experience.

Originally a wine shop, Da Gama Wine Bar now features a lovely summer terrace and a cozy indoor area.
Founded by Portuguese expat Alexandre da Gama, this place specializes in Portuguese wines but also offers a curated selection of French, Spanish, and Italian bottles.
They are official importers of Champagne Bernard Remy and Champagne Brimoncourt, so if youāre looking for something special, this is the place. We appreciated not only the excellent quality but also the warm and professional service.
KolonÄde Restaurant

KolonÄde is a beautiful restaurant on the riverside with a stunning terrace and a broad food and drink menu.
Itās an ideal spot to enjoy a full meal with a glass of champagne while taking in views of Rigaās lush city park. The setting is romantic and elegantāperfect for special occasions or just making any moment feel special.
Final Thoughts
Whether youāre walking the cobblestone streets of the Old Town or exploring Rigaās more modern districts, thereās always a new champagne gem waiting to be discovered. The wine culture here is growing fast, and weāve been impressed by the quality, variety, and welcoming vibe at every stop.
Weāll definitely be returning to Riga to continue the bubbly journey-one glass at a time.
