Local tips
- Aim for late afternoon or early evening to secure an outdoor table with views over Alssund, especially on clear summer days when the terrace fills quickly.
- Ask the sommelier team for a themed flight built around a grape or region you like; it is an efficient way to explore the deeper parts of the wine list.
- Pair your wine with a cheese or charcuterie board to make a light meal of your visit, particularly if you plan to stay for more than a couple of glasses.
- Check upcoming tastings and seasonal events in advance if you are visiting in spring, summer or December, when special rosé, whisky or Champagne evenings are common.
- If you are sensitive to noise, choose an earlier time or a midweek visit when the atmosphere tends to be calmer and more focused on conversation.

Discover more about Visselulles Vinbar
Waterfront wine hideaway in the heart of Sønderborg
Visselulles Vinbar sits on Sønder Havnegade, just a few steps from the harbour promenade, in a compact corner space that feels more like a living room than a bar. Inside, low lighting, close-set tables and a long bar counter draw your eye towards shelves lined with bottles from across the wine world. Large windows frame glimpses of the waterfront outside, while in summer the focus shifts to outdoor tables facing Alssund, where glasses catch the evening light and boats glide past. This is described as Sønderborg’s first dedicated wine bar, and that pioneering spirit still colours the atmosphere. There is a sense of discovery here, of a place created first and foremost for people who genuinely enjoy wine and conversation more than loud music or crowds.Ambitious wine list with global depth
The wine list is the beating heart of Visselulles. The selection ranges from Burgundy and Champagne to Italy, Hungary and overseas regions, with a particular affection for Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Within those classic grapes, the bar highlights well-regarded producers and serious cuvées, including prestige names in Champagne and iconic domaines for Burgundy collectors. Alongside still and sparkling wines, the shelves also hold an extensive range of Louis Roederer and Krug, plus carefully chosen spirits. Whisky fans will notice notable bottlings, and there is a concise cocktail offering that caters to guests who prefer a mixed drink without stealing the spotlight from the wines.Candlelit details and repurposed design
The decor plays a big role in the bar’s personality. A custom wine rack built from reused apple crates stretches behind the bar, each compartment filled with bottles, turning storage into a design feature. Candles flicker from wine-bottle holders on tables and ledges, casting reflections off labels and glassware and subtly changing the light as the evening progresses. French music, often soft chanson or jazz, drifts through the room, reinforcing a European bistro feel without tipping into cliché. The overall impression is warm and slightly bohemian: a place where design choices are considered but never stiff, and where it feels natural to linger over one more glass.Tastings, events and seasonal celebrations
Beyond regular evenings, Visselulles Vinbar hosts an active programme of tastings and themed events. Across the year you may encounter rosé-focused line-ups in late spring, a rosé festival in high summer, or Aperol Spritz–driven gatherings linked to cultural nights in Sønderborg. Autumn and winter are often dedicated to deeper flavours, with whisky tastings and Champagne and caviar pairings leading up to New Year. Many events spotlight particular regions, producers or styles, and some are tailored for private groups, making the bar a flexible venue for celebrations, work gatherings or educational tastings. The team behind the bar includes trained sommeliers, and that expertise underpins the way flights are constructed and bottles are recommended.Harbour views and a local social hub
In warmer months, outdoor seating turns the bar into a small terrace lounge looking over Alssund. The breeze off the water, the sound of rigging from moored boats and the soft clink of glassware create an easy, holiday-like mood even on an ordinary weekday. Blankets and heaters often extend the season, so you can sit outside well into the shoulder months when the light lingers over the sound. Indoors, tables are close enough to encourage conversation between groups, and it is common to see couples sharing a bottle, colleagues unwinding after work and friends comparing notes over a flight of wines. While the focus is on what is in the glass, there are also snacks and small plates such as cheeses and charcuterie that complement the drinks without turning the bar into a full restaurant.When to visit and how long to stay
Visselulles Vinbar typically opens in the afternoon and continues into the evening, with later hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Weekdays suit quieter, more in-depth tastings or a focused glass before or after dinner elsewhere in town. Weekends bring a livelier pace, especially as the sun lowers over the harbour and the bar fills with pre-dinner groups and nightcaps. Most guests find that a visit naturally stretches to at least an hour, whether exploring a by-the-glass selection or committing to a special bottle. For those attending a themed tasting or settling into the terrace at sunset, two to three hours slip by easily, especially when the wine list encourages just one more pour.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
