Studio Marvila: A creative workshop space and bar for ceramics & wine
Tucked away in Lisbon’s vibrant Marvila district, Studio Marvila is not your average wine bar and it’s not just a pottery studio either. It’s a hybrid creative space where community, craft, and natural wine come together in one warm, welcoming environment. Whether you're here to get your hands dirty with clay, discover Portugal’s best low-intervention wines, or just soak in the creative energy we invite you to shape, sip, and shop with us.
Studio Marvila: More Than Just a Bar
At Studio Marvila, we believe in slowing down. Whether it’s shaping a pot on the wheel or savoring a chilled glass of pet-nat, everything we do is grounded in care, curiosity, and craft.
This is a wine bar with a twist:
One part ceramics studio
One part natural wine haven
All parts creative community
It’s a place where people come to make, connect, and unwind. From first-timers to seasoned creatives, solo visitors to groups of friends—our space is open to everyone who’s looking for something a little different in Lisbon.
Where Clay Meets Grapes
The heart of Studio Marvila is the seamless blend of tactile craft and natural indulgence. On one side of the space: a sunlit studio filled with clay, wheels, and shelves of handmade ceramics. On the other: a cozy, curated wine bar featuring small-producer natural wines from across Portugal and Europe.
Our regular programming includes:
One-time ceramics workshops for visitors and locals
Multi-week pottery classes for deeper learning
Wine tastings and bottle pop-ups
Artist collaborations and chef takeovers
Clay & wine combo experiences
Come for a workshop. Stay for a glass. Leave with a handmade mug or bottle.
Our Philosophy: Natural, Playful, Handmade
We’re not chasing perfection we’re celebrating process. Every ceramic piece, every bottle of wine, and every guest interaction is infused with the values that guide us:
Natural: From the wine in your glass to the clay in your hands, we prioritize organic, low-intervention, and honest materials.
Playful: Creativity should be fun. Our workshops are pressure-free, exploratory, and open to all levels.
Handmade: We value things made slowly, with intention by people, not machines.
