Imagine the following scenario: you've been in Cannes for a few days, non-stop partying, networking, and - of course - attending important meetings and panel discussions for your event. The parties in Cannes are undeniably spectacular, especially on the beach and in some of the hotel rooftop bars! However, they may not be the ideal place to close a deal or have a business meeting with clients. If you're in search of the best bars in Cannes, check out these Top 17 Wine Bars in Cannes to have your next not-so-formal business meeting.

Open every day from 10AM – 11PM

If you want the best views for fireworks, this is the place to go! The terrace is a tranquil spot to take in panoramic views of Cannes while sipping on some Provençal Rosé.

Insider tip: Cannes is part of the French region called “Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur” where lots of vineyards are from due to the Mediterranean weather. Therefore, it’s typical in Cannes to drink Rosé in the summer, especially with ice cubes- “des glaçons, s’il vous plaît!”

+33 6 23 73 44 43

Insider Tip: now is not the time to practice your French! If you’re trying to get into a bar or restaurant in the summer when it’s busy, you are best speaking English. Cannes is a notoriously tourist-friendly city. But don’t forget a simple “Bonjour” and “Merci” go a long way!
