Beringer Winery

Beringer winery is the oldest continually operating winery in Napa Valley. Tour the wine cellars and the historic Rhine House, explore the gardens, and taste Beringer wine at this grand estate.

beringer, beringer winery, rhine house, napa valley

You'll know you're close to the Beringer winery when you drive through the tree-lined stretch of Highway 29, at the north end of St. Helena.

A Little Background

German immigrants Jacob and Frederick Beringer established this winery in 1875. It has the distinction of being Napa Valley's oldest continually operating winery, earning it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.

That's no easy feat.

Creative ingenuity helped Beringer Brothers survive Prohibition. Making sacramental wines during those years kept the winery in business.

 At the end of Prohibition in 1934, the brothers welcomed visitors into the winery for tours, marking the beginning of wine tourism to Napa Valley.

Hollywood celebrities -- including actress Carole Lombard, comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, boxer Rocky Marciano and singers Roy Rogers and Louis Armstrong -- brought attention to Beringer with their much-publicized visits to the winery in the late 1930s and 1940s.

Transforming the Rhine House into a visitor center in the 1950s, the Beringer winery now had a place that invited guests to explore the wine cellars, enjoy the architecture of this fine old mansion, and linger on the sprawling veranda while sampling wine. Napa Valley's wine tourism exploded in the late 1950s and Beringer was at the heart of it.

Why You Want to Visit the Beringer Winery

Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed to this grand estate and handed a map to help you explore its gorgeously landscaped grounds and historic buildings.

Play bocce ball on the property's own court, then stop in the gift shop for sandwiches and head to the picnic area for lunch. This historic estate is the ideal spot to relax, grab a sandwich and a glass of wine while spending a glorious afternoon.

Check Beringer's website for winery events throughout the year, such as vineyard tours with lunch, wine releases, and holiday celebrations. Many are exclusive to Club Members only. (But you'll want to join anyway to get the wine discounts.)

Beringer Winery Tasting Room

Beringer Wine Tastings and Tours

Just as Beringer produces a wide variety of wines, you have several wine tasting options here.

Take a self-guided Sip and Stroll tour and immerse yourself in the 146-year-old history, which includes a glass of wine for $20/person. Or explore the Old Winery and historic wine-aging tunnels on the  Legacy Cave Tour and taste three wines for $35/person. Want a more relaxed setting? Step into the beautiful Rhine House  and have a seat at your own table for a Veranda Tasting of current release reserve wines for $75/person. 

Serious wine connoisseurs will want to taste the finest Beringer has to offer, including Private Reserve and single-vineyard wines. Wine tastings require reservations, which you can do on the Beringer website.

To give you a taste of what Beringer wine offers, here are a couple stellar reviews: 

  • 2017 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon, 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast : "This wine offers great value for the quality, a weighty and intense expression of dark plum, woody oak and baking spice. Notes of iron, clove and tobacco add to the firm, supple tannin and structure."
  • 2013 Beringer Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 97 Points, Robert Parker  The Wine Advocate : "One of the great efforts of recent years ... an instant classic, the wine is full-bodied ... multi-dimensional, layered, and one of the all-time great Beringer Private Reserves."

Beringer Vineyards

Review by Dave 2 Comments

beringer vineyards visit

The Daegener’s had purchased the property from David Hudson in 1872; Hudson was born in Missouri, and at the age of 25 left the state on a wagon train – the first wagons to cross the Sierra Nevada on what was known as the Overland Trail. The group arrived in Napa Valley later that year and spent a winter in what is now Calistoga. Their timely arrival allowed them to participate in the Bear Flag Revolt in the town of Sonoma in 1846. In 1848, Hudson purchased this property from a well-known early Napa pioneer Dr. Edward Bale (namesake for the nearby Bale Grist Mill). Early records show that Hudson first planted a vineyard on his property in 1852. This was certainly one of the earlier vineyards in the Napa Valley – for perspective, George Yount planted the first vines in Napa Valley during the winter of 1838/1839.

The Beringer brothers (later locally known as los hermanos ) were from Mainz, Germany (a wine growing region along the banks of the Rhine River that today is about a 40-minute drive with little traffic from Frankfurt). Jacob (died in 1915) already had a background in wine before he arrived in the United States; he worked at Tim & Floske wine cellars in Berlin in his early 20s followed by time making wine at J.A. Harth and Company, a Mainz based wholesale wine dealer that was established in 1848. He came to New York in 1868 and became foreman of the cellar at the wine merchant, Truche and Winkenbach. In short time he opened his own business selling German wines and seltzer waters.

Mainz is a gorgeous city rich with history dating back to its Roman founding in the 1st century BC; it is well worth a visit for any traveler who finds some extra time in or around Frankfurt. Only about a 25–30-minute drive from the Frankfurt airport and the center of town is about a 15–20-minute walk from the edge of the Rhine River. Known as the city where Johannes Gutenberg was born and died; he invented the printing pressin the mid 1400’s and printed the first books ever using this system including the famous Gutenberg Bible.

While there are still plenty of historical buildings if one knows where to look – numerous old buildings were unfortunately destroyed during many air raids during World War II (up to 80% of these old buildings). One wanders the cozy streets wondering which buildings would have been seen by Jacob and Frederick back in the 1840s and 1850s.

And like during the decades the Beringer Brothers lived here, Mainz is still a major wine center with numerous vineyards and wineries in the region. The city hosts the annual Mainzer Weinmarkt (wine fair), was the original home of the Blue Nun (prominent international brand) and was the birthplace of Johann-Joseph Krug (the founder of Krug Champagne in France).

His brother Frederick was already well established in New York as he came before Jacob – in 1862. Frederick built up a very successful malt and barley business; at one point his business address was 40 Whitehall Street in New York City. He wouldn’t recognize the site today as its home to a towering skyscraper. He later operated a wine merchant and cellar at 180 Fulton Street, was president of the Arion Society of New York (an organization promoting German music and culture) and was friends with influential people of the time including President Grover Cleveland. And the brothers had at least one other brother – who remained in Germany and was a priest.

Jacob arrived in St. Helena in 1870 at age 26 and took a job as cellar superintendent at Charles Krug Winery – he worked at Krug until 1878. He was also an early member of the St. Helena Vinicultural Club (the precursor to today’s Appellation St. Helena). In 1876 he purchased property in St. Helena including the site that would become Beringer Vineyards with the financial help of Frederick (who had yet to see the property). And in 1879 the brothers expanded their vineyard holdings. Caves were dug into the hillside by hand taking about 15 years to complete – the laborers were Chinese. There are very few wine caves in Napa Valley, hand dug and dating from pre-1900. Several others are at Storybook Mountain, Del Dotto in Napa and at Stags’ Leap Winery.

After Jacob died, his children Charles and Bertha took over the operations.

Remarkably, Beringer Vineyards has never missed a vintage throughout decades of making wine – during Prohibition (when wineries were shuttered, they dried most of their grapes – usually the variety Petite Sirah) and also made Sacramental wine. This makes Beringer the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley (despite the fact there are older wineries in the Napa Valley). Beringer is also the first Napa winery to offer public tours starting in 1934. And after Prohibition they capitalized nicely on market tastes favoring sweeter wines – as for some time a sizable part of their production were sweet wines.

And all properties with as long a history as this one has both good and bad stories. In 1890, Jacob Grub an employee of Beringer Brothers shot and killed himself in the head on the winery property not far from the cellar after leaving a note to some friends (which was published in the local newspaper – makes for a sad read).

Two historic homes on site are of note. The cornerstone for centerpiece home on the estate, the Rhine House was laid down in 1883 and construction was completed by 1884 – the year the Frederick moved from New York to his new home in St. Helena. According to a September 11, 1883, article in the St. Helena Star the following items were entombed in the cornerstone in glass jars: coins, photographs of the Beringers, local newspapers, samples of bottled wine from the property, a telegram from Frederick and miscellaneous cards and other items. If still intact, those would most likely be among the oldest still filled bottles of wine produced by Beringer Vineyards. This home was built for Frederick Beringer and his family. A glass conservatory used to stand in front of the home and along with a tall brick chimney that fell through the roof – were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. Today this stately beauty functions as a premium hospitality center and offers small inventories of boutique and reserve wines, including some older vintages of select wines (as well as the opportunity to taste some of these rarer wines).

The more modest looking (but more historic) Hudson House was built in 1850 and originally stood where the Rhine House stands today. Named after its builder, David Hudson – the house was pulled from its original location by horses on heavy logs to its current location. David was also involved in the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846 in Sonoma (about a 50-minute drive from Beringer in neighboring Sonoma County). Today the Hudson House is home to the Beringer Culinary center where their chefs create meals for special and private events (hosted both inside the home and weather permitting, outside in a beautiful circular redwood grove). Ingredients are generally local even some sourced from two gardens on the property. The downstairs features the Executive Room – a well decorated often somewhat dimly lit space used for hosting private events. Well-known chef, Gary Danko spent 6 years cooking at Beringer.

Note the picturesque 150+ year old walnut next to the redwoods; one of their labels is called “leaning oak” named after a leaning oak on the estate – perhaps this walnut can grace the label of a Beringer wine in the future. Only part of the current Hudson House is original – the front room and the front deck – the back room and kitchen were added in the late 1980s.

In the “old days” Beringer operated a distillery and several of their longtime customers (now in their 80s and 90s sometimes ask for Beringer Sherry when they visit!) The stone castle-like looking distillery was originally built on the north side of the winery in 1879, was severally damaged in the 1906 earthquake and subsequently fixed. It was eventually completely removed in the 1970s.

Note the “Avenue of Elms” found in front of this winery – the original elm trees lining both sides of the highway in front of the winery were planted in 1885 by the Beringer brothers.

Sometimes visitors to the valley only associate Beringer Vineyards with cheap supermarket wines, IE White Zinfandel, their most produced wine. Do not make that mistake – Beringer has access to some of the top vineyard sites in all of the Napa Valley. Their premium wines will hold up against any of Napa’s other top producers. Beringer Vineyards is also one of a select few Napa wineries that because of its heritage, access to resources and being one of the iconic physical properties of the Napa Valley – carries a great weight of responsibility to continue to nurture an environment of openness and education for the valley’s visitors.

Beringer-Vineyards-St-Helena (14)

A variety of tours are given several times a day; one can sign up for these at the time of your visit. The Beringer Introduction Tour offers visitors a self-guided tour through the old hand dug caves – most of which have been enlarged and sealed over with gunnite but there is one small cave still preserved. A library wine room is seen on this tour which has bottles dating back 50+ years. Incidentally a scene from the movie Walk in the Clouds was filmed in front of this small room within the cave (with actors Anthony Quinn and Keanu Reeves). The reserve room is decorated very nicely and is intimate. Photos of famous mostly older movie stars who visited the winery over the decades hang on the walls behind the tasting counter.

Napa Valley wine cave pioneer Alf Burtelson, a general engineering contractor who founded his company in 1964 worked on his first cave job in Napa Valley in 1972. He was referred to Nestle (the company who owned Beringer at the time) by the engineering firm, John A. Bloom & Associates. This was to repair and reinforce the original Beringer 1,000 foot hand-dug caves – which his company did successfully; this eventually led to more work for Beringer including drilling new caves for them. Alf is well into his 80’s now and long since retired although is still living in the northern part of Napa Valley.

Alf’s first job was working on building a several mile stretch in the late 1950s of what is now the 280 freeway south of San Francisco. He formed Alf Burtleson Construction company in 1964; his first client was the San Francisco Water Department with work conducted on Twin Peaks.

For a period of time in the 1980s Alf’s company was the only company drilling winery caves within Napa Valley. His drilling rig was a Dosco MK2a Roadheader which was originally used in the UK for drilling coal mines. Alf told us he chose this equipment because it was able to drill curved ceilings rather than some of the American equipment at the time could only drill flat ceilings. He sold his company in 2003; the last winery cave he drilled in Napa Valley was for Bryant Family Winery. A look at Napa Valley’s wine caves including the significant contributions that Alf made to the valley is highlighted in the book, Into the Earth: A Wine Cave Renaissance by Daniel D’Agostin and Molly Chappellet.

Photos of all their winemakers sit on top of barrels in the cave. Most of the barrels you see in this cave are empty and are for show rather than for wine making. The tour typically includes three wines, a small production white, a red and often a sweet fizzy wine to finish the tour.

A tasting in the Rhine House focuses on their premium wines and includes a choice of 4 wines from the tasting menu. This menu is heavily weighted towards vineyard designate and reserve Cabernet Sauvignon although if you enjoy Chardonnay, do not ignore their “Private Reserve” Chardonnay. This wine was originally produced in 1980 and its early source was from the Gamble Ranch in Yountville. Unusual in its style at the time, this wine was barrel fermented (continuing to do this for current vintages).

Weather permitting, tasting is outside on the wooden porch surrounding part of the home.

A ‘hidden’ part of the Beringer property is located behind the Rhine House. There are a number of chairs, a bocce ball court and a corn-hole game situated in a very peaceful and often quiet part of the property under the stately oak trees. On the weekends in the summer there is often live music and the reasonably priced ‘sandwich’ box otherwise known as the Sherry Shack (located in a tiny wooden building) open for service. This is a great place to relax with some Beringer wines in hand.

A contemporary gift shop and reserve tasting room are located in the main stone winery building. The gift shop sits in what used to be a huge tank room and if you look on the walls you can still see the written tank numbers.

Beringer has enjoyed a long history with Hollywood and celebrities; Elvis stopped in while filming Wild in the Country in Napa Valley in 1961. Clark Gable visited Beringer several times a year for a period including spending part of his honeymoon at Marston Vineyard on Spring Mountain, a site that Beringer has sourced fruit from for several decades. Others enjoyed visiting including boxer and 1930s heavyweight champion Max Baer, boxer Rocky Marciano, singer Rudy Vallee, actress Ginger Rogers, actors Bud {Abbott} and Lou Costello and the list goes on. And in 1959 Rock Hudson was part of several scenes filmed on property for the movie This Earth is Mine .

The Beringer family sold their iconic winery in 1971 to Nestlé Corporation (the Beringers lived on the property until the sale), and it was during the Nestlé ownership that the massive winery was built on the other side of the highway in the early 1970s. As a side note, after the sale of the winery, Fred and Cathy Beringer purchased an existing wine shop in downtown St. Helena called The Bottle Shop. They renamed it to St. Helena Wine Center in 1992 – and it remains family owned and operated. In early 2020 the name of this shop reverted back to The Bottle Shop and unfortunately in early 2021 this shop closed permanently.

Beringer-Vineyard-Sign-Yountville

The soils (if you can call them that) from the Bancroft Vineyard are composed of compressed ash which has essentially become rock. There is typically between 0 and 24 inches of topsoil – the grapes have to struggle for nutrients and root space in these difficult growing conditions. The micro-climate at this elevation produces temperatures that are often lower than the valley floor on average – as a result the growing season here is longer (one year they picked during the first week of November). At a glance the rows of vines may look like one continuous vineyard – however the vineyard management team does not simply pick the entire vineyard at once. Rather they separate the vineyard into numerous smaller blocks – each of these blocks is picked only when ready. And based on the different varieties and micro-climates within even this vineyard – picking can take weeks to complete.

Select Wines The 2019 Beringer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a Beringer Winery and club exclusive wine. This wine was sourced from two sites, their Calistoga Ranch and Larson Ranch. It was aged entirely in stainless steel (for 10 months), saw no oak and did not go through malolatic fermentation. This wine is medium yellow color in the glass; our initial words when smelling it were tropical meets citrus. Offers aromas of mandarin, pineapple, citrus blossom and as the wine breathes a sweet honeysuckle note and hints of jasmine develop. The bouquet is highly aromatic and certainly not the green grassy showing that this variety is commonly associated with when it is sourced from cooler vineyard sites. Rounded, supple and creamy across the palate (one could also say, it almost has an oily texture), offers rich flavors of citrus, mango and Golden Delicious apple. Also, an orange melon note. Not tart or lean on the palate. Final alcohol is nearly 16%.

We have enjoyed several vintages of the “Private Reserve” Cabernet Sauvignon over the years (the first vintage of this wine was from 1977). It is always created from the best lots from multiple vineyards in the Beringer portfolio. This wine tends to be big, rich, chewy – a full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that will age very well for many years. It has also been very highly rated by the most respected wine writers in the industry; the latest vintage we tried, the 2015 earned 99 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Three things stood out from our tasting of this wine; the highly appealing aromas – ripe but elegant, the intensity of fruit on the palate and the wonderful balance from start to finish, especially for such a young wine. The Beringer Private Reserve is also available in large format bottles – we have seen bottles for sale up to 9L.

Case in point as to the excellent age-worthiness of this wine is the 1993 Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – still noticeably dark in the glass some 25 years after vintage offers aromas of blackberry – a ripeness of fruit if you will (still plenty of fruit showing), a smokiness, dry earth, darker chocolate and a subtle note of mocha. Highly aromatic. Dense and dark on the palate with lots of fruit – including blackberry and black cherry. A brightness also shows on the finish – good acidity with fine grained noticeable tannins that linger for quite some time. Very balanced, a very polished showing.

The Nightingale Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon is a special Sauterne-style dessert wine that was started by their legendary winemaker Myron Nightingale and his wife Alice (with their first vintage from 1980 and named in their honor in 1983). We had the rare opportunity some years back to tour the production area needed to create this wine at the winery across the highway from the main Beringer property. Botrytis cineria spores are cultivated, kept cold in a refrigerator and when needed are sprayed on trays of grapes. Rather than being subjected to most vintages where the conditions are not optimum to product natural botrytis cineria, these wines can be made every year in the winery. Earlier vintages used to be produced in 750ml bottles (we’ve seen some of these for sale at the winery); today they are produced in the 375ml bottles. This wine can age remarkably well – and compared to similar style wines is available at a reasonable price to quality ratio.

The 1991 Beringer Private Reserve Nightingale. The cork was extremely brittle, so we had to carefully tease it out with an ah so opener. This wine is dark amber in color with aromatics of dried apricot, creme Brulé, honeycomb and brown sugar. A richness of flavor washes over the entire palate from start to finish – showcasing both an intensity of fruit including dried peach and apricot along with plenty of dessert type flavors including toffee, creme Brulé, and a lingering nutty characteristic (hazelnut). Feels creamy in texture and slides across the palate as smoothly as Dorothy Hamill gliding into a turn on the ice. Nearly 30 years post vintage, perhaps we made the mistake of opening this to early. This wine has lively fruit and bright acidity to carry this for at least another 30 years. Although we would feel more confident if the cork was replaced.

Beringer produces a wide variety of wine – winery exclusive wines are not found in the retail marketplace and are available only at the winery or for club members (often you can also find older vintages of select wines available for sale at the winery). Beringer’s wines range from inexpensive to premium pricing for current single vineyard or private reserve wines. As a result, there is a diversity of wines for all types of tastes and budgets ranging from their sweet popular sparkling white Zinfandel to hand crafted single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

And Beringer produces a line of wines labeled, Beringer Bros. Spirit Barrel Aged Wines, they age the wines in old spirits barrels. A bourbon aged red blend was their current release at the time of our latest update to his review.

Beringer-Winery

The historical plaque which is fastened to the east facing wall of the winery was unveiled on April 30, 1967; a number of Beringer family members were present for the ceremony that day as was Roy Raymond and his family.

In 2015 Mark Beringer was hired as head of wine making, co-founder Jacob Beringer’s great-great-grandson. Mark is well-respected in the industry having worked at Napa notables Duckhorn Vineyards and Artesa Winery. Incidentally during high school, he worked on the family property. Mark remained winemaker at Beringer Vineyards until 2021.

Note that Beringer’s huge winery & production facilities are located across Highway 29/128 but are not open to the public. Also note that left hand turns out of their driveway across the highway requires your full concentration due to somewhat limited visibility (which is why exiting visitors are encouraged to turn right in part helped by the clearly painted right hand turn arrow marked in the pavement of their driveway).

Famed American now retired football star, Joe Montana used to have a label produced under his name here – he teamed up with Beringer’s winemaker at the time Ed Sbragia to produce Montagia.

A bridge opened in 2019 connecting neighboring what was Las Alcobas Hotel (now Alila Napa Valley) to the Beringer property with a very short walk from the bridge to the Rhine House.

Treasury Wine Estates Treasury Wine Estates is currently the 4th largest wine company on the planet. Treasury was formerly the wine division of the Australian based Foster’s Group and was founded in 2011 – although its roots can be traced back to the mid 1990s when Foster’s began to build out their wine division. Treasury Wine Estates owns or manages some 22,000+ acres of vineyards in Australia and New Zealand and nearly 10,000 acres of vineyards in the USA (mostly in the Napa Valley, Sonoma County and California’s central coast).

As of our latest update to this review they are the largest controlling entity of vineyards in Napa Valley through mostly leased land. They own several of the Napa Valley’s most iconic, historical and storied producers including the following other five wineries: Beaulieu Vineyard, Etude, Frank Family, Stags’ Leap Winery and Sterling. In addition, they own the Napa Valley brands Acacia and Hewitt. And of the other brands under their ownership, Penfolds in the Barossa Valley, Australia is arguably the most famous.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia the company also maintains offices in Napa, Oakland, London, Shanghai and Singapore. In 2019 the company moved its headquarters to one of the uppermost floors in one of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings, the T&G Building located on Collins Street a few minutes’ walk from the Flinders Street Railway Station.

The T&G building, named after the T&G Mutual Life Assurance Society was built in 1928 and features a gorgeous atrium like setting and high-end retail shops on the ground floor as well as 10 floors of office space. This was one of Melbourne’s first large scale office buildings. Despite being one of Melbourne’s prominent and historical buildings, Treasury Wine Estates keeps a very low profile and has no signage.

In 2022 Treasury unveiled a significant winery located in the Barossa Valley with an annual capacity of producing nearly 26.5 million gallons of wine. The property and winery are located next to Wolf Blass Visitor Center in Nuriootpa (Wolf Blass is also owned by Treasury).

In 2023 Treasury purchased Paso Robles based Dao Vineyards for nearly $1 billion USD.

19 Unique And Fabulous Experiences In Moscow

beringer vineyards visit

  • Destinations

Thinking of visiting Russia? When visiting such a famous city, one must, of course, visit the iconic landmarks first. Moscow has plenty of those, most of them in the center of the city, which is very well-planned for tourists. Once you’ve seen the sights that are on most travelers’ lists, it’s time to branch out and visit some of the lesser-known sites, and there are some fascinating places to see and things to do.

I know this list is long, but I just couldn’t help myself. You probably won’t have the time to see them all. But that’s okay. Just scroll through the list and choose what sounds the most interesting to you. Where possible, make sure to book in advance, as things can get crowded, especially during high season.

Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, Russia

1. The Red Square, Kremlin, And Surroundings

Red Square (Krasnya Ploshad) is the heart and soul of Russia, and where much of the country’s history has unfolded. This is the most famous landmark in Moscow and indeed the whole country, it’s an absolute must-do! The square is always full of people and has a rather festive atmosphere!

Saint Basil’s Cathedral

This is the famous church with the rainbow-colored, onion-domed roof. The cathedral was commissioned in the 1500s by Ivan the Terrible and according to legend, the Tsar thought it was so beautiful, that he ordered that the architect’s eyes be cut out afterward, so he could never build anything more beautiful! He wasn’t called Ivan the Terrible for no reason!

Lenin’s Mausoleum

The “love-it-or-hate-it” of tourist attractions in Russia. A glass sarcophagus containing the embalmed body of Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin. It may seem a bit bizarre to display the mummy of a person, but it has been there for almost half a century and the 2.5 million visitors who come each year, clearly feel the queuing and thorough body search are worth it, to be in Lenin’s presence.

Pro Tip: no photos and no loud talking are allowed inside the Mausoleum.

Eternal Flame

There is an Eternal Flame in honor of an unknown soldier on the left side of Red Square. The hourly changing of the guards is worth seeing.

The Kremlin is the official residence of the Russian president. You can see it from the outside, or you can take an excursion to one of the museums located inside. This is the biggest active fortress in Europe, and holds a week’s worth of attractions! Once behind the 7,332-feet of walls, there are five squares, four cathedrals, 20 towers, various museums, and the world’s largest bell and cannon to see. Worth a special mention is the Armory Chamber that houses a collection of the famous Faberge Eggs.

Pro Tip: You can only go inside the Kremlin if you are part of a tourist group.

Interior of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscos

2. Bolshoi Theatre

Bolshoi Theatre translates to “The Big Theatre” in Russian, and the building is home to both the Bolshoi Ballet and Bolshoi Opera — among the oldest and most famous ballet and opera companies in the world.

Pro Tip: It’s hard to get an inexpensive ticket, so if you’re reading well in advance of going to Moscow then try buying tickets on the official website . Last-minute tickets cost around $250 per person. If this is out of your budget, about an hour before a performance, you can try buying a ticket at the entrance from a reseller. Most can speak enough English to negotiate the price.

Tour the Bolshoi Theatre: You can take a group guided tour of the Bolshoi Theatre which focuses on the history and architecture of the theatre and behind the scenes. There’s an English language tour that lasts 2 hours and costs around $300 for a group of up to six.

GUM, a popular department store in Moscow

3. Luxury Shopping At GUM And TSUM

Russia’s main department store, GUM, has a stunning interior that is home to over 100 high-end boutiques, selling a variety of brands: from luxurious Dior to the more affordable Zara. Even if shopping is not on your Moscow to-do list GUM is still worth a visit; the glass-roofed arcade faces Red Square and offers a variety of classy eateries. TSUM, one of the biggest luxury malls in town, is right behind the Bolshoi and GUM. It’s an imposing building with lots of history, and worth a visit just for its design and its glass roof.

Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow

4. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This is one of Russia’s most visited cathedrals and is a newer addition to the gorgeous array of Muscovite cathedrals, but don’t let its young age fool you. After perestroika, in the early 90s, the revived Russian Orthodox Church was given permission to build a cathedral on this site. It did the location honors and built the largest temple of the Christian Orthodox Church. The façade is as grand as you’d expect, but it’s the inside that will mesmerize you, with its domes, gold, gorgeous paintings, and decor!

The cathedral is located just a few hundred feet away from the Kremlin and was the site of the infamous Pussy Riot protest against Putin back in 2012.

Pro Tip: Bring a shawl to cover your hair as is the local custom.

Gates at Gorky Park in Moscow

5. Gorky Park

Moscow’s premier green space, Gorky Park (Park Gor’kogo) is the city’s biggest and most famous park. There is entertainment on offer here for every taste, from outdoor dancing sessions to yoga classes, volleyball, ping-pong, rollerblading, and bike and boat rental in summer. In winter, half the park turns into a huge ice skating rink. Gorky Park is also home to an open-air movie theater and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art. There is also Muzeon Art Park, a dynamic contemporary space with a unique collection of 700 sculptures. It is located right in front of Gorky Park.

6. Sparrow Hills Park

If you take a walk from Gorky Park, along the Moscow River embankment, you’ll end up in the city’s other legendary park, Sparrow Hills. Although the park doesn’t offer as many activities as its hip neighbor, it has a great panoramic view of the city

Pro Tip: You can take a free walking tour to all of the above attractions with an English-speaking guide.

River cruise in Moscow

7. River Cruising

One of the best ways to experience Moscow, and see all the famous landmarks, but from a different angle, is from the Moscow River. Take a river cruise. Avoid the tourist crowds. There are little nameless old boats that do the cruise, but if you are looking for a more luxurious experience take the Radisson Blu cruise and enjoy the sights with some good food and a glass of wine.

Moscow Metro station

8. Metro Hopping

Inaugurated in the 1930s, the Moscow Metro system is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. Started in Stalinist times, each station is a work of art in its own right. I’d recommend touring the stations between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. This way, you’ll be able to properly see it without the crowds. Ideally, I’d recommend taking a tour with a knowledgeable guide with GuruWalk, who will tell you stories of forgotten stations and how the history of the country is interconnected with the metro development. If going by yourself, then I definitely recommend checking out: Mayakovskaya, Ploschad Revolutsii, Kievskaya, Kropotkinskaya, Kurskaya, and Novoslobodskaya stations.

Visit the free Moscow Metro Museum: For real train enthusiasts, located in the southern vestibule of Sportivnaya station is a small free museum. Here you can take a peek into the driver’s cabin, see a collection of metro tokens from different cities, and see different models of a turnstile, traffic lights, escalator, and more.

Moscow State University at dusk

9. Moscow State University View

In his effort to create a grander Moscow, Stalin had seven skyscrapers built in different parts of town; they’re called the Seven Sisters. The largest of these buildings and the one with the best view is the main building of the Moscow State University. Although this is a little outside the city center, the view is more than worth it.

Izmailovsky Market in Moscow, Russia

10. Izmailovsky Market

Mostly known for the city’s largest flea market, the district of Izmaylovo is home to a maze of shops where you can get just about anything, from artisan crafts to traditional fur hats, handcrafted jewelry, fascinating Soviet memorabilia, and antiquities. It’s also one of Moscow’s largest green spaces. There are often no price tags, so be prepared to haggle a bit. Head to one of the market cafes for a warming mulled wine before continuing your shopping spree.

The History of Vodka Museum is found here, and the museum’s restaurant is the perfect place to sample various brands of the national drink.

Once you’ve covered the more touristy spots, Moscow still has plenty to offer, and the places below will also be full of locals! So for some local vibes, I would strongly recommend the spots below!

The skyscrapers of Moscow City

11. Moscow City

With a completely different vibe, Moscow City (also referred to as Moscow International Business Center) is like a mini Dubai, with lots of impressive tall glass buildings. Here is where you’ll find the best rooftops in towns, like Ruski Restaurant, the highest restaurant both in Moscow City and in Europe. Moscow City is great for crowd-free shopping and the best panoramic views of the city.

Art in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

12. Tretyakov Gallery

Tretyakov Gallery started as the private collection of the Tretyakov brothers, who were 19th-century philanthropists. They gave their private collection to the government after their deaths. If there is just one museum you visit in Moscow, I recommend this one!

Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve, former residence of Catherine the Great

13. Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve

Tsaritsyno was a residence of Catherine the Great more than two centuries ago. It became derelict during the Soviet era but has now been fully renovated. With its opulently decorated buildings, gardens, meadows, and forests, Tsaritsyno Park is the perfect place for a green respite in Moscow.

Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve in Moscow

14. Kolomenskoye

A 10-minute metro ride from the city center is Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve, where you can get an idea of what Russia looked like 200 years ago. You’ll find ancient churches (one dating back to the 16th century), the oldest garden in Moscow, and the wonderful fairytale wooden palace of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great.

Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow at night

15. Ostankino TV Tower

Built in 1967, Ostankino TV Tower was the tallest free-standing construction in the world at the time, it’s still the 8th tallest building in the world and the highest in Europe. It’s also the best observation deck, with a glass floor and 360-degree views. The speedy elevators take you 1,105 feet in next to no time.

Pro Tip: You need to book in advance; entrance is based on specific ticket times and the capacity is limited and only a certain number of tourists are allowed per day. Don’t forget your passport, you’ll need it to get through security.

The floating bridge of Zaryadye Park in Moscow

16. Zaryadye Park

Zaryadye is a newly opened, landscaped urban park so new you won’t find it in a lot of tour guides. The park is near Red Square and is divided into four climatic zones: forest, steppe, tundra, and floodplains, depicting the variety of climatic zones in Russia.

These last three suggestions are a little quirky, but all are really worth checking out.

17. Museum Of Soviet Arcade Games

Release your inner child playing on 66 arcade machines from the Soviet era! What a great way to spend a couple of hours when tired of visiting museums and palaces. The staff speaks excellent English and are happy to explain how the games work.

The rooftops of Moscow, Russia

18. Moscow Rooftop Tour

Take a 1-hour private Moscow rooftop tour with an experienced roofer. I can just about guarantee none of your friends will be able to say they’ve done it! For your comfort, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Take your camera, there are some amazing photo opportunities out there!

A pool at Sanduny Banya in Moscow

19. Sanduny Banya

This classical Russian bathhouse opened its doors in 1808 and is famous for combining traditional Russian banya services with luxurious interiors and service. If you enjoy spas and saunas, then you should experience a Russian bathhouse at least once in your life! Go with an open mind and hire a specialist to steam you as it’s meant to be done — by being beaten repeatedly with a besom (a leafy branch)! This is said to improve circulation, but is best done by a professional!

So there you have my list of things to do in Moscow. I could have gone on and on and on, but I didn’t want to try your patience! There are so many things to do in this vibrant city that you’ll definitely need to allocate several days for exploring.

Here are some other reasons to visit Moscow and Russia:
