Bundgaards Vinimport / Molshonning, Knebel

Wine and Honey on a Quiet Mols Village Street

Bundgaards Vinimport / Molshonning sits in the small settlement of Landborup, just outside Knebel, in the gently rolling landscape of the Mols peninsula. From the street, it looks more like a private house than a formal store, and that is very much the point: this is a home-based wine import and honey workshop where business and personal passion blur together. A simple sign guides you to the door, behind which shelves of bottles and neatly lined-up honey jars add a sense of discovery. The location’s scale is modest, but it fits perfectly into the rural surroundings. You are in a quiet residential pocket rather than a busy commercial strip, so the experience feels more like visiting a friend with a very well-stocked cellar than entering a retail outlet.

Passion Project Turned Village Cellar

Founded and run by Ole Bundgaard, the place has grown from a personal enthusiasm for European wines into a small, focused import operation. The emphasis is on bottles sourced directly from producers, particularly from classic wine regions on the continent, with an eye for character and value rather than big-brand labels. Many of the wines come from family-owned vineyards, and the selection reflects long-term relationships rather than anonymous bulk buying. This personal approach extends to how the wines are presented. There is no elaborate shopfitting or glossy merchandising; instead, you find handwritten notes, simple shelving and plenty of time for conversation about grapes, vintages and food pairings if you are interested.

Molshonning: A Taste of the Local Landscape

Alongside the wine, the Molshonning label highlights another side of the Mols countryside: honey from local hives. The surrounding fields, hedgerows and gardens provide forage for bees, and the resulting honey captures a specific, seasonal snapshot of the peninsula’s flora. Jars vary from lighter, floral honey to darker, more intense styles depending on the nectar sources and time of year. For travelers, this creates a pleasing contrast: imported wines that bring Europe to Mols, and honey that could only come from this immediate area. Together they offer a small but tangible sense of place, especially if you are staying nearby and looking to stock a cottage kitchen or picnic basket.

An Informal, "When I’m Home" Kind of Shop

Bundgaards Vinimport does not operate like a standard high-street store with fixed, daily opening hours. The stated approach is that the shop is open when the owner is at home, and he often is, especially in the afternoons and early evenings. That means visits work best if you treat the place as a semi-private cellar door: ring ahead if you want to be certain, or be prepared to try again later if there is no one available. Once inside, there is no pressure to buy in large quantities. You can browse slowly, discuss what you like to drink and pick out a few bottles or a single jar of honey. Payment is straightforward and low-key, matching the relaxed, domestic setting of the house.

A Gentle Stop on a Mols Drive

In practical terms, this is a small-scale destination rather than a full afternoon excursion. Most visitors spend under an hour here, often combining the stop with walks in Mols Bjerge National Park, time by the coast or a drive through Knebel and nearby villages. The atmosphere remains calm and unhurried, and there is usually space to stand and chat without feeling crowded. What makes Bundgaards Vinimport / Molshonning stand out is not size or spectacle but personality. It is a glimpse into a local enthusiast’s world, where imported wine and home-area honey share shelf space, and where the line between shop and living room is deliberately thin. For travelers who appreciate small, authentic food and drink encounters, it is a rewarding detour off the main tourist trail.
