Best Wine Bars in Hong Kong 2026 — Where to Drink Seriously

Somm is one of Hong Kong's most serious wine destinations — a casual restaurant and wine bar inside The Landmark Mandarin Oriental with a staggering selection of over 1,600 Champagnes, European wines, New World bottles, and an exceptional collection of rare and refined sakes. The weekend brunch (from HKD 748) features free-flow Champagne and sommelier-selected wines. Come for serious wine; stay for the equally serious food.

Founded by the world's most influential wine critic, James Suckling Wine Central is built around wines that have earned 100 points during Suckling's decades-long career. The emphasis is on Italian wines from Tuscany, Piedmont, and Veneto, plus exceptional Bordeaux and Port. Most wines are available by the glass. Regular masterclasses and open tasting sessions make this a destination for wine education as much as wine drinking.

LQV Group's flagship wine bar covers 2,000 sq ft above Lyndhurst Terrace with a main bar, dining area, and two al fresco terraces — a rarity in Central. The selection runs to 2,000+ wines with a significant focus on Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne. Pair your glass with artisanal charcuterie, cheese boards, and quality French plates. Their cellar also stocks rare vintage spirits from the 1940s to 1970s.

La Cabane feels like a Parisian arrondissement wine bar somehow transplanted to Soho — intimate, permanently buzzing, with an extensive natural wine list sourced directly from individual winemakers and small artisanal growers worldwide. All wines are additive-free, made with minimal sulphates and no pesticides. The monthly-updated wine list keeps regulars coming back. Food runs to rotating French dishes, charcuterie, and artisan cheese.

La Cave is an intimate neighbourhood wine bar in Sai Ying Pun with a strong focus on French wines — bottles for the glass or to take home, paired with quality cheese and cold cuts. Regular events include cheese markets, oyster pairings, and wine dinners. It's a genuinely neighbourhood feel: people linger, chat, and come back. Follow their Instagram (@lacavehk) for events.

From the team behind acclaimed British restaurant Roganic, The Baker & The Bottleman is a bakery by day and a wine bar by night. The second-floor wine bar (open from 5:30pm) is led by master sommelier Pierre Brunelli and features organic and biodynamic wines from sustainable growers worldwide, alongside classic cocktails. Downstairs, the shop stocks hand-picked bottles starting from HKD 200. It's one of the most thoughtfully curated wine experiences in Hong Kong.

Le Quinze Vins' first wine bar in Asia is a convincing slice of Paris in Wan Chai — cosy, wine map-lined walls, and an impressive cellar of French bottles weighted toward Burgundy. It sits directly opposite its sister fromagerie La Cremerie: order your wine, cross the street, grab some farmhouse cheese. Simple pleasures done very well.

Le Bistro Winebeast combines a retail wine shop with a restaurant serving modern French dishes — buy from the shop, drink at the table. The wine pairing menu changes frequently, and occasional wine dinners showcase individual winemakers from different regions. It's the right balance of serious and sociable.

Chef Olivier Elzer's restaurant on the 25th floor of H Code includes a dedicated wine bar — The Lounge — and a private 'Sommelier Room' for dedicated pairings. Every Thursday to Sunday, the Somm Hour (HKD 1,490) features eight rotating wines curated by head sommelier Zsolt Menku, including a blind tasting finale. Views over Central complete the package.
