Wine Hotel Vorarlberg: Why the Hotel Alpenstern in the Bregenzerwald spoils connoisseurs

What makes the Hotel Alpenstern a wine hotel in Vorarlberg?

The Hotel Alpenstern combines 4-star superior standards with a wine culture that is unrivalled in the region. Whilst general search results for ‘wine hotel Vorarlberg’ have so far failed to reveal any specialised offerings, we deliberately position ourselves as an establishment where wine is an integral part of the dining experience – not merely a decorative accompaniment. At the heart of this philosophy is our own walk-in wine cellar at the Hotel Alpenstern, which houses a carefully curated selection of regional Vorarlberg wines as well as fine international vintages. The atmosphere there is characterised by warm wood, subdued lighting and the tranquillity that really brings out the best in fine wine.

The fact that Alpine cuisine and selected wines are increasingly being considered together is no coincidence, but a clear trend in the upmarket hotel sector: guests today expect more than just a good room – they want a holistic sensory experience. Many travellers are looking for specialist wine hotel portals, but find very few. In fact, true quality is evident in establishments such as the Alpenstern, where wine culture is organically embedded in the overall concept of cuisine, indulgence and hospitality.

  • A curated selection of wines from regional and international wine-growing regions
  • Personalised sommelier advice on wine pairings
  • Various tasting formats, from small tastings to themed evenings
  • Wine recommendations tailored to the evening’s menu

 

Wine tasting and bar culture at the Alpenstern

A typical evening of indulgence with us begins with an aperitif and culminates in a multi-course dinner menu with carefully selected wine pairings. Afterwards, many of our guests round off the day in our Bar Novum with a glass of wine – served by the glass and expertly recommended. For many guests, this relaxed atmosphere after an eventful day in the mountains is the real highlight of their stay.

Tip: The best time for a wine tasting is after the evening meal, between 8 pm and 10 pm – when the Novum Bar is at its most atmospheric.

Wine, wellness & relaxation – the perfect combination

Wellness and indulgence are often seen as going hand in hand in Vorarlberg’s hotel scene – and it is precisely this combination that is a key factor in the success of luxury hotels such as ours. A day at the Alpenstern, for example, might unfold with a mix of relaxing hours in the wellness area, refreshing laps in the pool and a culinary highlight in the evening. Studies on mindfulness suggest that the conscious combination of physical relaxation – for example, in the sauna or pool – and sensory indulgence through wine and cuisine significantly enhances the restorative effects of a holiday. A wine hotel is therefore not just a place to drink, but a place where indulgence is promoted holistically – for body, mind and senses alike. We warmly invite you to relax in our spa area after enjoying a glass of wine, with no time constraints whatsoever.

  • A varied sauna area for deep relaxation

Why the Bregenzerwald is ideal for enjoying wine

Damüls lies at an altitude of around 1,400 metres above sea level, surrounded by an alpine landscape that is second to none. The Bregenzerwald is renowned far beyond the region for its distinctive culture of indulgence – particularly for its outstanding cheeses and regional produce, which pair perfectly with selected wines. Those wishing to experience the Bregenzerwald as a region of culinary delights will also find culinary walks, guided tours showcasing the area’s distinctive village and architectural heritage, and the Bregenzerwald Guest Card as an attractive bonus for visitors seeking culinary delights. This combination of alpine tranquillity and culinary diversity makes the region one of Austria’s most attractive culinary destinations.
