6 Spectacular Wine Bars in Barcelona

1. Els Sortidors del Parlament

Upon walking into Els Sortidors del Parlament, you might be able to spot some remnants of the space's past life as a motorcycle workshop. However, the unique space has been elegantly decorated and transformed into one of the classiest wine bars in Barcelona. They serve up a glorious selection of globally sourced wines, including a great range from Catalonia itself. Order by the bottle or by the glass, and if you're hungry, tuck into one of their innovative homemade tapas.

Located in the up-and-coming Sant Antoni neighborhood at Calle Parlament, 53. 

2. Vila Viniteca

In the nearly 90 years they've been open, Vila Viniteca has grown from a humble shop to one of Europe's great wine behemoths. With no less than 8,000 references, this unrivaled wine paradise has just about everything you could want. From small, local bodegas to premier international producers, the selection here goes above and beyond what you'll find anywhere else. Their divided space includes both the wine shop itself as well as a small delicatessen and bar area serving simple yet exquisite delicacies to accompany your wine.

Located in the bustling Born neighborhood at Carrer dels Agullers, 7.

4. Monvínic

Cutting-edge technology sets Monvínic apart from the rest. At this legendary wine reference point, you use a tablet to customize your wine-drinking experience exactly as you'd like it. Search through the electronic glossary to choose your country, grape variety, and pour size (half glass, glass or bottle) from among their 3,000 choices. Additionally, their gorgeous modern cellar is a far cry from the ancient wine caves of days past. However, despite their unique use of technology, the experience here is personable and hospitable. Their friendly team of sommeliers can happily answer any question you throw at them. If you're hungry, be sure to head to their onsite restaurant for a fabulous meal as well.

Located just around the corner from the Passeig de Gracia metro station, at Carrer de la Diputació, 249.

5. Eldiset

A sleek, minimalistic interior characterized by low-hanging light fixtures and pale wood accents helps make Eldiset one of the most modern, cosmopolitan wine bars in Barcelona. While the bar itself may look like it wouldn't be out of place in the likes of New York or London, the selection here is overwhelmingly local. More than 90 percent of their selection consists of Catalan wines, each more exquisite than the last. They also serve fantastic, gorgeously presented tapas with an international flair, in addition to simple yet delicious Catalan products such as meats and cheeses.

Located in the heart of Born at Carrer Antic de Sant Joan, 3
