Wine Cafe & Shop

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where the Glass and the Table Meet

Wine Café & Shop on Nazarbaeva Street describes itself as one of the most diverse and refined wine destinations in Almaty — and Wine Spectator agreed, granting it an Award of Excellence in 2022. That recognition places it in select company globally, and it is well earned by a concept that takes wine seriously at every level.

A Dual Concept, Done with Care

The idea here is straightforward but rarely executed this well: a city café and a wine salon occupying the same space. Guests can sit down for lunch or dinner, order a bottle from the wine list, and if they fall in love with it, take another home. The in-house sommeliers draw from producers across the world's major wine regions, making the list genuinely broad rather than decorative.

The European kitchen adds substance to the occasion. The menu offers dishes in the chef's own interpretation — the restaurant's own words — which signals a kitchen with a point of view rather than one simply ticking boxes. The food is designed to complement the wine program, making proper wine pairing a natural part of any visit.

The Atmosphere

The setting is described as an ideal place to meet friends and colleagues in the relaxed atmosphere of a city café. Outdoor seating extends the options, and the venue runs from midday through midnight every day of the week, accommodating everything from a working lunch to a long evening over European cuisine and a well-chosen bottle.

Part of the Line Group family of Almaty restaurants, Wine Café & Shop brings the same hospitality standards found across the group's portfolio — without losing the intimate, salon-like character that makes it distinct.
