Hangzhou, known for its fine silk, UNESCO world heritage site West Lake, and its association with Alibaba, is also a worthy destination for wine crowds.

Quarter

Quarter, a quaint and Chinese culture-inspired, is both an eclectic cafe and bar. One the ground level, it serves hand crafted and a wide variety of single origin coffees. One the second floor, the door opens to a stylish bar with drawers of whiskies, gins and wines tucked away in Chinese medicine cabinets.

Most go to Quarter for bartenderโ€™s concoctions to unwind the stress of the week, its wines deserve a nod as well. The bar has a rather small but delectable wine list including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Jura and a range of juicy Pinot Noirs from Giant Steps, Pyramid Valley and Villa Maria.

A few other bars in the city also worth a mention including Half & Half, owned by Li Jing who is also behind Quarter, and Late Market, another popular hangout as the name suggests for the late crowds near West Lake.

Address: Qingtai Street 581, Hangzhou
