Our favourite wine bars in the mountaineering capital of the world

In this mountain chalet nestled in the heights of Chamonix, wines go hand-in-hand with Savoyard specialities, such as fondue or barbecued beef. Make the most of these mouth-watering treats and pair your wine with your food. The wine list features a host of lip-smacking options, making it the perfect introduction to the little-known world of Savoie wines.

The Berlucoquet: your organic wine specialist

This is a roll-your-sleeves-up kind of place, ideal for grabbing a drink at the bar and chatting away to the owner. We recommend you try an organic wine: it is the Berlucoquet's speciality, after all. Pair your wine with an organic bite to eat, whether a cured meat platter or cheese board.

The 4810: understated style

This cosy little place is tucked away in the town centre at the Chamonix Centre Mercure hotel. Relax as you gaze up at the luminescent panels reminiscent of the delicate hues of Chamonix's 'Sea of Ice'. Served by the glass or bottle, the wines here are an invitation to discover a very pleasant selection of whites and reds. The perfect finishing touch? Sample one of the region's liqueurs, such as génépi.

The QuartzBar: at the foot of the Mont Blanc

Perched in the heights of the Alps, this wine bar is home to an exclusive atmosphere complete with jazz concerts to liven up any night out. Let yourself be tempted by the wine list's elegant suggestions. Sample rare Savoie crus as well as some delectable Bordeaux and champagnes. Finish off your wine experience in style with delicious gourmet light bites served on the side.
