Cascais, a quaint coastal town in Portugal, now boasts a unique gem for wine enthusiasts and food connoisseurs - Holy Wine Bar. The brainchild of a passionate team, Holy Wine Cascais has quickly established itself as a culinary attraction in the heart of the old town.
Holy Wine Cascais, sibling to the original Holy Wine Bar in Lisbon, shares a devotion to natural wines but boasts its own unique character. Situated on a narrow street, it offers a more spacious and well-lit environment compared to its predecessor, making it a welcoming haven for wine lovers.
What sets Holy Wine apart is its dynamic approach to wine selection. The ever-evolving wine list changes every two weeks, allowing visitors to explore new and exciting wines from Portugal and beyond. This inclusivity extends to their by-the-glass offering, even for rare and costly bottles, ensuring a diverse and enriching wine experience.
The driving force behind Holy Wine Cascais is a team of wine and gastronomy enthusiasts from Russia and Ukraine. Anna, the owner, a former food photographer, was running the first Holy Wine Bar in Lisbon and joined forces with Mariia and Iliya, a sommelier and chef, to bring this unique concept to Cascais.
Besides their remarkable wine collection, the bar offers an array of delightful snacks, such as roasted peppers with anchovies, Reuben-style pastrami sandwiches, and beef tartare. For those wanting more, fresh oysters are served on weekends, along with brunch sets featuring natural wine cocktails.
Holy Wine Cascais is not only a destination for wine but also a thriving gastronomic experience. As the first and only natural wine bar in Cascais, it is pioneering the growth of the local wine community. Their dedication to sustainability and community shines through, as they collaborate with local producers and make natural wine culture accessible to all. Don't miss the chance to experience this culinary and wine haven when you're next in Cascais.
