About SOMM Wine Atelier
A guided wine tasting at SOMM Wine Atelier is something Coimbra's bar scene rarely offers: a structured journey through Portuguese regions, led by a sommelier who explains and contextualises every pour. Joaquim runs the room with the kind of knowledge that makes the unfamiliar feel approachable, whether you're deep into fortified wines or starting from scratch. The food is built to sit alongside the glass — the cheese board and veal tartar are the plates people keep coming back to, and the Tartarus draws its own following. Open until midnight, it holds a terrific spot in the Baixa.
