After a day exploring Viking ships and Edvard Munch’s vibrantly colored paintings, stopping by one of Oslo’s numerous wine bars is a fantastic way to sit back and relax. With some of the best wines from around the world on offer, these five wine bars are just another way to get in touch with the refined side Norwegian culture.

Dr. Kneipp’s wine bar

Dr. Kneipp’s

An intimate setting characterizes Oslo’s oldest wine bar.

With original artwork also showcased, the bar is a great place to visit before heading out for dinner. Enjoy savory appetizers with one of the many decent wines.

Bruno’s Proseccheria con Restaurante

Explore the world of imported Italian wines at Bruno’s. This wine bar doubles as a fantastic restaurant serving traditional and authentic food from Italy.

Outside Gaasa

Gaasa

Laid back and good for a comfortable evening of conversation, atmospheric Gaasa is a wine bar housed in a slightly off-the-beaten-track town house with two gardens in which to sit back and enjoy wine or champagne. To ensure a quiet and pleasant atmosphere, this bar is devoid of televisions, however, with a number of pool tables and a nice selection of beers, Gaasa has something to offer a whole host of different patrons.

Gaasa, Storgata 36 B, Oslo, Norway, +47 454 16 469

Ask for advice on what wine to taste while engaging with neighbors in good conversation. Whether outside on the wood furniture on the patio, or inside amidst the many bottles waiting to be tasted, Cru is the perfect destination for any wine lover in Oslo.
