Berlin has the fantastic reputation of a multicultural melting pot that is brimming with plentiful international influences in every area of life, from arts and culture to food and drinks. And while we remain grateful to live in a place where authentic alcoholic beverages from all corners of the world are readily available, we’re excited for the “Day of the Open Wine” – a unique occasion to dig into – or maybe rather drain up – a topic that we all might have previously slightly neglected, namely: German wines!
The “Day of the Open Wine” (Tag des offenen Weins) is part of the nationwide event “WeinEntdecker-Wochen” and is coming to Berlin for the very first time on the 22nd of September from 14:00 to 18:00. It’s a real treat for all the wine lovers out there – just for 5 EUR, you’ll be able to discover three different German wines. Over 30 wine shops all over town are participating – and below, you’ll find our curated guide to 6 of them. Call up your buddies and take a relaxing afternoon stroll through Berlin – with such delightful stops along the way, who knows where you might end up?
Goldhahn & Sampson
‘’Day of the Open Wine’’ is a perfect excuse to visit the Goldhahn & Sampson shop in Wilmersdorf if you haven’t done so yet. This unique location actually offers way more than wine – it is a boutique for artisanal food products, also functioning as a bookshop and a cooking school. The store in Wilmersdorf is their second location in Berlin – make sure you check out their first shop in Prenzlauer Berg, too!

This wine shop has a most picturesque location: right in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg, between the U-Bahn stations Eberswalder Straße and Senefelderplatz. For the ‘’Day of the Open Wine’’ event, they’ll be offering some ‘’white wines out of the mainstream’’. Interestingly, apart from snack plates, you’ll also find beer on their menu.

Weinzimmer
Schöneberg is one of the most underrated corners of Berlin. It’s a shame people don’t venture there more often, as it truly is full of surprises – just like the Weinzimmer. The old wooden furniture gives the place a unique vibe together with a devoted team that claims ‘’wine is their true calling’’.
