<p>Lisbon had vineyards within easy reach, but until 2020, not a single winery in the city itself. Adega Belém changed that. Set in a former garage away from Belém’s tourist queues, the urban winery was founded by former academics Catarina Moreira, a biologist, and David Picard, an anthropologist, who left university life to make small-production wines from native Portuguese grapes.</p>

<p>Tati first opened in Cais do Sodré in 2011, well before Lisbon’s natural wine movement took off, then resurfaced two years after closing in the residential neighborhood of Penha de França. Ramón Ibáñez and Romina Bartolini have maintained the welcoming atmosphere, lovely food and excellent natural wine list that made the original so popular. Romina’s weekly-changing menu focuses on seasonal vegetables and fish, lesser-used cuts of meat and offal, while the wine list is split between Portuguese bottles and selections from across Europe.</p>

<p>Black Sheep is a Lisbon wine bar run by Brazilian owners Bruna Ventura and her team, known for an adventurous selection that ranges from lesser-known Portuguese bottles to sherry and champagne. The staff bring real depth of knowledge without making the experience feel formal, and a 2024 expansion gave the once-tiny bar considerably more room. A good example of the list is António Madeira’s Vinhas Velhas Branco, a fresh, saline white from the Dão.</p>

Owner Ricardo Maneira has excellent taste in wine, an uncanny knack for remembering what his customers like, and something of a superpower for selecting something they’ll love. And better yet, he keeps the prices of bottles at nearly wholesale-level. The clientele here leans local, and Maneira’s former career as a DJ means that the soundtrack is better than most. Note that A Viagem das Horas is only open from Monday to Friday, except for the occasional food event or DJ set on Saturday.</span></p>
