The wine culture of Russia is a difficult thing to define, mainly because this country consists of such a huge number of regions that it takes time to figure out the food and wine culture of any of them. Kuban wine is considered to be one of the rarest to find in restaurants, but if you’re visiting Sochi for the World Cup 2018, undoubtedly you’ll be able to find some spots with good options on offer. Culture Trip has taken the guesswork out and here are some places you should visit to try it.

Cenador

Restaurant, Russian, Cuban, Wine

This centrally-located restaurant is open 24/7 and it offers visitors an extensive choice of Kuban wines, delivered to the venue twice per month. An intimate vibe, nourishing Russian dishes, and vast alcohol list, it’s everything you ever wanted from a local restaurant during the trip abroad.

Corks Wine Bar & Kitchen

Restaurant, Russian, Cuban, Wine

Corks is a place to be seen, especially if you’re a picky foodie who wants to try great Kuban wine available only in Russia, attentive service, and local savoury snacks. Their extensive menu consists of the flavours and spices of a real Russian holiday, slow-cooked main courses, and the best wine list in the city.

Ludi Resto Bar

Restaurant, Russian

This local gem was just opened last summer and it offers you the best selection of Kuban wines in the Adler area, yet the best steaks and good music daily. It’s a must-visit if you’re seeking something special in the wine scene of this country. The best day for a visit is Wednesday: complete absence of crowd and good music are both guaranteed.

Vysota 5642

Restaurant, Russian, Wine

This modern restaurant by the famous Russian Novikov group by Arkady Novikov is located in the central neighbourhood of Sochi and offers its visitors a traditional Caucasian and Kuban wine list. In addition to that they offer Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani wines.
