Best secret wine bar in Amsterdam!

Lately, secret bars in major city’s are becoming a bigger and bigger trend. But did you ever hear about a secret wine bar? Probably not… because no one knows ;). So let us tell you this little secret….

Just behind Dam Square, this atmospheric Wine Cellar is hidden in the catacombs of the New Church (although built in the 15th century). The only way to enter the cellar is trough the cute tiny bakery located above. When you enter the cellar, you will discover a lot of delicious wines from the New World.

The cellar is owned by José Belgerette, an Argentinian wine expert who fell in love with the Netherlands decades ago. To make the Dutch familiar with the great wines of Argentina he decided to start his own wine bussiness.  Therefore, he importes wines from the organic winery Solandes, located in the south of Mendoza, Argentina. The combination of the snow of the Andes mountains, the illuminating sun and the magic soil makes the taste of the selected wines unique.
