The Best Natural Wine Bars and Bottle Shops in Copenhagen
Ved Stranden 10
Ved Stranden 10 is one of our favorite hangouts in Copenhagen. With its white-painted wooden walls and vintage Scandinavian furniture, the old house has a unique atmosphere. In the summer, you can sit by the piers along the canal with a glass of natural wine in hand. Some favorite producers always on the shelf here include Gut Oggau, Heinrich, Loimer, Christian Tschida, and Matassa. There are always some snacks on the bar menu, but if you get really hungry, you can walk around the corner to their restaurant Admiralgade 26.

La Banchina
La Banchina is a beachy oasis in Copenhagen – a small wine bar, café, and restaurant nestled within an old boathouse along the harbor on Refshaleøen. It’s the ultimate summer hangout – you can literally dive right into the water from the dock, which is why their slogan is “dip, eat, repeat.” Here, you can quench your thirst with natural wines and dig into organic dishes crafted from local Danish ingredients, all while soaking up the laid-back waterfront vibes. La Banchina remains open year-round and even offers a sauna, perfect for cozying up on frosty winter days.

Pompette
Passionate wine lover Martin Ho’s wine bar and bottle shop in Nørrebro, Pompette, just might have the biggest selection of natural wine in Copenhagen. Only about 10% of his collection is actually on display, so if you’re looking for something in particular just ask Martin. His cellar is stocked with thousands of rare bottles, including boxes and boxes of Tschida, a whole bunch of Bini, and the entire Gut Oggau family. The name Pompette means “tipsy” in French, and this super cool hangout definitely has a Parisian vibe, especially with bistro-style seating on the street. There’s cheese, charcuterie, bread, and other snacks if you’re looking for something to nibble; or grab a fried chicken sandwich next door at Poulette.

Lille Blå
Lille Blå is Copenhagen’s most colorful natural wine bar, from the team behind Ved Stranden 10 and Admiralgade 26. The walls are painted in a vibrant shade of royal blue and stand as a memory of the former inhabitant of the venue – a paint shop. Sip wine made by small, independent Austrian producers from Zalto glasses and enjoy the quintessentially Scandinavian vibe. Looking to take a bottle home? You can grab one next door at Österreich Vin, their wine import company and bottle shop.

Rødder & Vin
Rødder & Vin is a tiny shop in Nørrebro selling natural wines and root vegetables – exactly as the name promises. Self-taught sommelier Solfinn Danielsen always has a glass of something delicious ready when curious customers come by to study his four shelves of carefully selected bottles. Look for some of our favorites like FruktStereo (cider), Garo’Vin, and Anne et Jean-Francois Ganevat. If the wine boutique isn’t open, it’s probably because Solfinn has moved two doors down to his wine bar Rødder & Vin:Bar.

Rosforth & Rosforth
Rosforth & Rosforth, or as locals have affectionately dubbed it “Under the Bridge” is a natural wine shop located, you guessed it, directly underneath Knippelsbro, the large bridge that connects Christianshavn to the city center. Rosforth & Rosforth are pretty much the natural wine importer kings of Copenhagen. They’ve been importing wine to Denmark since 1994, and in the most sustainable way they could think of – with a sailboat. That’s right, each year they import around 12,000 bottles from France aboard an engineless schooner. On Saturdays, Rosforth & Rosforth offers a weekly tasting from varying producers, and in the summer you can enjoy your wine on the picnic benches outside by the river.

Vivant
The green neon sign marks the spot for this cozy Nørrebro wine bar. Inside, the space has a romantic, intimate vibe with wooden banquettes wrapping around the room, complemented by small marble tables and candle-filled bottles with wax gracefully dripping down their sides. Take your pick from the shelves adorned with an array of colorful wines – the prices are conveniently marked right on the bottle. The selection rotates frequently, often featuring lots of our Jura and Austrian favorites, from Octavin to Tschida. Pair your bottle with some snacks, like cheese and charcuterie, or bread and canned fish.
