The best spots to buy wine in Brussels: our selection of Brussels wine merchants

Have you heard of Tarzan and Jane? Now, of course, we’re not talking about the famous jungle couple but about this excellent wine bar/wine cellar in the Châtelain neighbourhood. What do they have in common? They work together in perfect harmony and everything revolves around nature! The goal is clear: to bring natural wines at democratic prices to Brussels aficionados and boy have they succeeded!

Wine shop Cave Coop is located on rue Lesbroussart in Ixelles. Here you’ll find wine importer Philippe Paridans whose entire life has been devoted to natural wines. In the early 2000s, he was the first to put natural wines on the menu in several Brussels restaurants. In 2015, he opened a treasure trove of mostly European natural wines to the general public. In his selection, you will find established names and up-and-coming winemaking talents. Good to know: you can have your order delivered to your home by bike.

At Nestor, wine has character and a story to tell. Here, there are no anonymous bottles, only living wines, carefully selected by an enthusiast who cultivates genuine friendships with his winemakers. The selection highlights spontaneous fermentation, pure grape varieties and the most sincere expressions of the terroir. It includes both established names and young talents, always guided by the same philosophy: respect for the living product.

This authentic address in Ixelles welcomes you to a friendly universe where natural wines - organic or biodynamic - reign supreme. You will immediately notice that Basin & Marot is a bit like a cosy pub where conversation and exchange are the norm. Jean-François Basin and his team share their passion with great enthusiasm. Only wines that connoisseur Jean-François himself likes are recommended here, not counting trends or hypes of the moment.

A little further on we find La Trinquette, a cheerful place. After all, “trinquer” means to toast in French. Wine is and remains a celebration. One that brings friends together, far from the arrogance sometimes associated with wine culture. And that’s exactly the atmosphere that prevails in this cosy wine bar/wine shop in the Châtelain neighbourhood! Those looking to restock their wine cellar can always find an excellent selection of French natural wines, especially from the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

Close to Place Stéphanie, Mig’s World Wines is a theme park for lovers of alcoholic beverages from all over the world. You’ll find more than 800 wines from no fewer than 35 countries, including Belgium. But no need to panic, the team is there to help you in your search for that rare gem that will take your feast to unprecedented heights. Mig's World Wines also offers oenological workshops and tasting sessions..

At the heart of the famous Rob Gourmets' Market, The Cellar boasts thousands of products across hundreds of square metres. Fine wines, rare vintages and exceptional spirits sit side by side, offering both the security of the classics and the pleasure of discovery. The selection is curated by a team of sommeliers and wine specialists who put their expertise at the service of customers. A must-visit for epicureans in search of refinement.

Gudule Winery is part of Greenbizz, the incubator for sustainable businesses in Laeken. The rising phenomenon of urban wineries inspired founder Thierry Lejeune to start working as a wine producer himself. He does not have his own grapes, but imports them from various wine regions. However, he does orchestrate the entire vinification process down to the last detail. He deserves to be proud of this effort. His cuvées, named after the patron saint of Brussels, are artisanal and organic wines, full of character, with a minimal ecological footprint and a unique blend.
