  MY TALLINN

Wine Bars

 

Whether you're a true wine aficionado looking for a particular vintage, or just want a quiet tête-à-tête with someone special, Tallinn has a number of wine bars to fit the bill. The town's wine bars tend to be subdued, unpretentious, and lit with candles – the perfect place for a date or a meeting with an old friend. They're also fine places to pick up a bottle to take home.
