The Top Bars & Restaurants for Natural Wine in Turin
The former capital city of Turin is unfortunately often overlooked by international visitors. The upside to this however, is that the city remains non-touristy and authentically Italian. An easy train trip from Milan, there is plenty to see and do in this Piemontese city full of character, history and green space. Whether you’re looking for upscale dining or casual drinks, Turin has you covered.
Make the most out of your time in Turin by picking up a 2, 3, or 5 day card which gives you free access to over 20 extraordinary museums, monuments and castles, as well as discounts on transport and so much more. My favorite is the unmissable Egyptian museum. At the end of your busy days you can then relax at one of the great wine bars or restaurants below.
Enoteca Botz
The energy at Enoteca Botz during aperitivo is second to none. Wine lovers of all ages peruse the glass list, as others stand by waiting for tables to free up inside or outside. Botz is a friendly place to drink natural wines from Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, France, Spain, among others. They have a large selection of chilled sparkling wines, whites, and macerated wines as well as many reds to peruse adorning the walls.
The owners also host monthly events featuring local food, music and more. Located near the vibrant Piazza Santa Giulia, you will really feel like a local at Botz.
