Natural Wine Revolution Crawl

How to Complete

4 steps curated by Wine Memories

1. 🍷 1

   Start at GOTA

   wine $

   Enter one of Madrid's most outstanding natural wine bars at GOTA (Calle de Prim, 5, Barrio de Justicia) — 200+ references, 70% international labels, wooden tables under dim lights. Metro to Chueca (L5), open evenings, order a glass and small plates to share (€15-25 total).

   🔄 BACKUP: If GOTA is full, nearby Trava (coffee + wine) offers a similar vibe.

   Find La Fisna in Lavapiés

   adventure $

   Enter the bar that was pouring natural wine 'long before Madrid decided it was cool' at La Fisna in Lavapiés — part wine bar, part bottle shop, all heart. Metro to Lavapiés (L3) to this dimly lit, touch chaotic, wonderfully alive spot (€4-6/glass).

   🔄 BACKUP: Corchito nearby offers similar OG natural wine energy.

   End at Masa

   wine $$

   Finish at 'where natural wine is headed' at Masa (just off Plaza Olavide, Chamberí) — trendy wine bar that expanded from Barcelona. Metro to Quevedo (L2) and ask staff what distinguishes Madrid's scene from Barcelona's.

   🔄 BACKUP: FOUR at Plaza Biombo has arguably the best outdoor seating if weather is good.

   Compare the Evolution

   Optional

   history Free

   Notice how each bar represents a different era: Bendito (the origin), La Fisna (the underground), GOTA (the aesthetic), Masa (the future). Ask bartenders at each stop when they opened and who influenced them to understand the evolution.

   🔄 BACKUP: Half a dozen new bars have opened in the past year - ask for recommendations.
