IISI is a wine bar, summer terrace, and the beating heart of Vallisaari's events — a place where summer is distilled into a single moment.
Our events bring people together, the music lifts the mood, and the moments stay with you. In summer we're always open — with tastings, wine dates, and themed parties on the calendar.
IISI isn't just a place. It's a feeling you can't copy.
