S’vinbar
Intimate Aarhus wine bar where more than 300 carefully chosen bottles, sunlit pavement tables and relaxed expertise turn Klostergade into a cosy vinous living room.
Tucked into historic Klostergade in central Aarhus, S’vinbar is an intimate wine bar and shop with more than 300 wines on the list, most available by the glass. Low-lit, cosy interiors and pavement seating facing the old Vor Frue Kloster set the scene for anything from deep-dive tastings to a single spontaneous glass. Knowledgeable staff guide both curious beginners and seasoned enthusiasts through everything from classic Burgundy to natural and orange wines, with simple snack plates to match.

Local tips
- Try “Dagens Flight” early in the evening to get a themed mini-tasting of three wines and a feel for the list before committing to full glasses or a bottle.
- Aim for an outdoor table in sunny weather; the facade catches the sun and offers views toward Vor Frue Kloster and the street life of Klostergade.
- Ask the staff to choose wines based on your taste rather than the menu; they often have interesting bottles open that are not obvious at first glance.
- Pair your glasses with a simple cheese and charcuterie plate if you plan to taste several wines, as the snacks help reset the palate between styles.
- Visit on a weekday afternoon or early evening for a quieter atmosphere and more time to chat with the team about regions, producers and upcoming tastings.

Discover more about S'vinbar
A cosy corner of Klostergade
S’vinbar sits on the corner of Klostergade and Gl. Munkegade, in the very heart of Aarhus’ old city. From the outside, large street-facing windows reveal warm light, shelves of bottles and tightly packed wooden tables, creating the feel of a neighbourhood living room dedicated entirely to wine. Step inside and you immediately sense that this is a place where people linger over conversation, rather than rush through a drink. The room is compact, with space for around 30 guests indoors and a similar number outside when the weather cooperates. Simple wooden furniture, candlelight and walls lined with bottles keep the focus squarely on the glass in front of you. Through the windows you look toward the historic Vor Frue Kloster, a reminder that you are drinking in one of Aarhus’ oldest quarters.More than 300 wines, poured with intent
The heartbeat of S’vinbar is its extensive wine list, which runs to more than 300 different bottles at any given time. Many are opened and served by the glass, so you can explore widely without committing to a full bottle. Classic regions like Burgundy, Champagne and Bordeaux sit alongside natural, organic and biodynamic producers, as well as a changing selection of orange and sparkling wines. Rather than strict dogma, the selection is driven by taste and character. You might find grower Champagne next to rustic Portuguese reds or delicate Nordic-friendly whites. Staff are quick to probe your preferences and then suggest something just off your usual path, encouraging a small measure of experimentation with each order.Dagens Flight and focused tastings
One of the bar’s signatures is “Dagens Flight,” a mini-tasting of three smaller glasses built around a theme. On one visit it might explore a single grape across different countries; on another it could trace how soil and climate shape wines from a specific region. The concept makes wine education feel playful rather than formal, and works equally well as a warm-up to the evening or a standalone experience. Across the year, S’vinbar also hosts in-depth themed tastings, often spotlighting particular producers, countries or styles. These sessions lean into detail and are designed for those who enjoy diving deeper, yet still keep an informal, conversational tone rather than a classroom atmosphere. Private tastings for groups, companies and wine clubs can be arranged, turning the bar into a small, dedicated salon for a few hours.Simple food with a wine-first focus
Food at S’vinbar is deliberately kept in a supporting role. Instead of a full restaurant menu, you will find a short list of snack-friendly plates chosen to complement the wines. Bowls of almonds and olives, small bites and sharing platters with cheese, salami and pâté provide just enough substance to keep the palate sharp without stealing attention from the glass. This minimalist approach suits the size of the room and the rhythm of the place. Guests drop in before or after dinner elsewhere, build an evening around flights and conversation, or graze slowly through a board of charcuterie while sampling several different styles. Pricing on both glasses and snacks is kept within a moderate range, making it possible to explore more than one wine over the course of a night.Sunlit pavement and evening glow
When the sun is out, the small terrace becomes one of S’vinbar’s most attractive assets. The bar sits on the sunny side of the street, so outdoor tables catch the light well into the evening in summer. From here you can watch the life of Klostergade unfold while the silhouette of Vor Frue Kloster anchors the background. As night deepens, the ambience shifts from bright and social to softly lit and intimate. Seating can be close, which adds to the feeling of being part of a compact, convivial wine community. Whether you arrive alone, as a couple or with a group of friends, the underlying rhythm is the same: unhurried, conversational and entirely centred on the shared enjoyment of wine.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
