Sabile ({{audio|Lv-Sabile.ogg|pronunciation}}; {{langx|de|Zabeln}}) is a town in Talsi Municipality, in the Courland region of Latvia.

Sabile was first mentioned in chronicles in 1253. From the 14th century to the 16th century, it was a site of a castle of the Livonian Order and a village near the castle. Sabile became a town in 1917.{{cite web|title=Sabile and Abava Rural Territory|url=http://www.sabile.lv/information-in-english/sabile-and-abava-rural-territory/|website=Sabile un Agavas pagasts|publisher=Sabiles pilsēta un Abavas pagasts|access-date=28 December 2015|date=2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151217213959/http://www.sabile.lv/information-in-english/sabile-and-abava-rural-territory/|archive-date=17 December 2015}} The Sabile Wine hill (Sabiles Vīna Kalns) used to be the most northern open-air vineyard in the world, registered in the Guinness Book of Records.{{cite book|last1=Matthews|first1=Peter|last2=Dunkley McCarthy|first2=Michelle|last3=Young|first3=Mark|title=The Guinness Book of Records|url=https://archive.org/details/guinnessbookofsp00youn|url-access=registration|date=1994|publisher=Facts on File|page=[https://archive.org/details/guinnessbookofsp00youn/page/52 52]}}{{cite web|last=Birziņš|first=Uldis|title=Winemaking in Latvia - challenging but not impossible|url=http://www.lsm.lv/en/article/societ/society/winemaking-in-latvia-challenging-but-not-impossible.a139152/|publisher=Public Broadcasting of Latvia|access-date=4 January 2017|date=27 July 2015}} The winemaking tradition in Sabile dates back to the 16th century. For the first time, wine production was created here during Livonia (14th century), and the hill was completely restored in 1936 during by the mayor Osvalds Rezebergs. The Sabile Castle Mound, which was the center of the district from the 10th century to the 13th century, overlooks Sabile and the valley of the Abava River.
