- Come early in the evening if you want a choice of seats; the bar is small and fills quickly on busy summer days and Saturday nights.
- Ask for recommendations based on what you usually drink at home – it is a great way to be introduced to natural wines without feeling overwhelmed.
- If you find a bottle you love, buy it on the spot rather than waiting; many wines are from small producers and are stocked in limited quantities.
- Check local listings for tastings or musical evenings, especially in high season, as special events can add an extra layer to your visit.

Discover more about Vinkapellet Samsø
An island wine refuge in Brundby
Vinkapellet Samsø sits on Brundby Hovedgade, in one of the island’s sleepier villages, and immediately feels more like a welcoming living room than a conventional bar. Low ceilings, shelves stacked with bottles and a few mismatched tables create an intimate setting that fits perfectly with Samsø’s unhurried rhythm. You come here as much for the atmosphere as for what is in your glass – it is a place to pause between bike rides, beach walks and farm stands. The bar is small, but that compact size is part of its charm. Conversations drift easily across the room, and it is common to find locals and visitors discussing vintages, favourite regions or simply island life. On warm days, life spills gently out towards the street, with guests lingering over a final glass as the evening light settles over the village.A passion for natural and honest wines
At the heart of Vinkapellet is a clear focus: thoughtfully sourced organic, biodynamic and natural wines from small producers. Shelves and fridges showcase labels you are unlikely to find in mainstream shops, many of them from producers working with minimal intervention in the cellar and careful stewardship of their vineyards. Expect everything from cloudy pét-nats and skin-contact whites to precise, elegant reds, often introduced with a story about the grower behind the bottle. Tasting flights, by-the-glass options and casual recommendations make it easy to explore styles you may not know. If you discover a favourite, you can usually buy a bottle or two to take back to your holiday house.From city roots to Samsø soil
Vinkapellet did not begin its life on Samsø. The concept was first developed in Copenhagen, where the founder honed a clear philosophy centred on pure, additive-free wines and close relationships with growers. Moving the project to Samsø gave that philosophy a new backdrop: instead of city pavements, the bar now shares an island with potato fields, orchards and a growing food scene. This relocation suits the ethos perfectly. Samsø is known for its agricultural heritage and its progressive approach to sustainability, and a wine bar focused on responsible farming and transparent winemaking feels right at home. Over time, the bar has become woven into the island’s broader narrative of high-quality local produce and slow, seasonal living.Intimate events and musical evenings
Beyond the regular opening hours, Vinkapellet occasionally hosts tastings, themed evenings and small-scale cultural events. A line-up might include a guided exploration of a particular region, a night devoted to orange wines or an informal meet-the-importer session. These gatherings are usually relaxed and conversational, with plenty of room for questions and discussion. Music has also become part of the bar’s character. On some evenings, the space doubles as a tiny listening room, with piano or acoustic performances adding a gentle soundtrack to the clink of glasses. It all reinforces the feeling that this is as much a cultural nook as it is a place to drink wine.Slow evenings and island conversations
The experience at Vinkapellet is unhurried by design. You might start with a single glass, but it is easy to settle in for an entire evening, working your way through a few different styles while conversations ebb and flow around you. Staff are happy to talk in detail about grape varieties, regions and viticulture, or simply recommend something that suits your mood. Because Samsø is compact, guests often swap tips about other island highlights: a favourite beach, a quiet walking path, a produce stand that should not be missed. Vinkapellet becomes a kind of informal salon, where the island’s easygoing spirit is distilled into a glass of wine.Practical details for your visit
Opening hours are generally concentrated later in the day, with afternoon and evening service midweek and longer hours on Saturdays. The bar’s size means seating is limited, so arriving early in the evening gives you the best chance of finding a comfortable spot. Card payment is widely accepted, and prices reflect both the small scale of the producers and the relaxed island setting, remaining accessible for a casual glass or a more in-depth tasting. There is no full kitchen, so you come primarily for wine; small snacks or simple accompaniments may be available, but serious meals are better planned elsewhere. Mobile reception is good, yet many visitors end up putting their phones away – the real focus here is the glass in front of you and the conversation at your table.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
