The story

Weinhaus Kinkel-Stuben in Bonn | German Wine Tavern & Cheese Selection

The cellar and the hosts

Lothar and Bärbel Schrempp have shaped Weinhaus Kinkel-Stuben into a definitive German wine tavern in Bonn. Their collection prioritizes Riesling mapped across multiple regions and decades. Independent critics validate this focus, noting the Falstaff guide awarded ninety-four points for the curated selection. Guests can order thirty to forty year old anniversary bottles directly from the tap, while occasional additions round out a modest Bordeaux range.

Seasonal plates and dairy selections

The kitchen operates as a practical extension of this German wine tavern tradition. Daily menus rotate around fresh produce, most notably a vegetable quiche that earns consistent praise for its crisp crust. Cold preparations highlight lightly seared roast beef with homemade remoulade, marinated smoked goose breast, and original Graubündner dried beef. A dedicated cheese station rotates roughly twenty-five raw milk varieties, frequently showcasing Appenzeller carpaccio or gratinated goat cheese.

Nostalgic interiors and quiet evenings

Behind a heavy wooden door and climbing facade greenery, the dining room leans firmly into vintage charm. Leaded glass windows diffuse the evening light across sturdy wooden tables and familiar furnishings. The layout remains deliberately unpretentious, encouraging steady conversation instead of formal ceremony. This setup matches the Schlemmer Atlas description of a fairy-tale rustic wine tavern, keeping the focus squarely on shared plates and careful pours.
