Spend the night - in a wine barrel!

B&Bs don’t come more fun than checking in for a night in a huge wine barrel. What once held 2,000 gallons of wine is now a comfy place to spend the night.

Black Forest Wine Barrel Hotel

On the sloping hillside vineyards of Baden Wine Trail through the hills of the Black Forest, an enterprising family of local winemakers provides the opportunity to spend the night among the vines, above the lovely little town of Sasbachwalden with a toast to the glorious sunset beyond the valley of the Rhine. The farm of the family Wild is ancient. The farmhouse was built in 1665, but it was in 1890 that the great-grandfather settled on the land with his family, producing grapes as part of the Alde Gott wine cooperative of Sasbachwalden and producing their own fruit brandies and liqueurs. Three generations of Wilds live on the farm and open the welcome mat to their curious version of a romantic one-of-a-kind stay in a wine barrel.

Surrounded by the vineyards and fruit trees, the 8000 liter former "Alde Gott" wine barrels have been reconditioned converted and lovingly decorated into comfortable sleeping, living and sanitary quarters. Four accommodations of a bedroom barrel for 2 persons and living room barrel have been placed at locations near the farmhouse, all with stellar views over the vines, which breathtakingly reach to the Vosges Mountains of France, with the wild flowers of spring or colors of autumn. The sleeping barrel experience is perhaps akin to a mobile home, with views. The room barrels are heated for crisp nights, with cooling air flow for summer provided by the glass view windows and doors opening to the mountain slope breezes.

A night stay for 2 includes welcome bottle of Alde Gott sparkling wine and snack basket with two more wines and a bottle of non-alcoholic grape “Winzer”, 2 bottles of mineral water, bakery pastries and sausages. Breakfast is included. The price for two is 156,-€, including tax.
