The Best Places to Try Kuban Wine in Sochi
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.

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.

Ludi Resto Bar
