Weinstube Zum Weinkrug (Weinhaus Karl Heidrich)

A winery's wine bar

Zum Weinkrug is the Weinstube of the Weinhaus Karl Heidrich, a family winery in Bacharach with its shop and its room on the Oberstraße, the village's main street, inside the wall. You come here to drink the house wine, from the Middle Rhine, with something to eat alongside. It is the place for the casual meal of the trip, between the walk along the wall and the boat.

What you eat

The house warns that the menu changes a lot with the season and that the one it publishes is only a sample. On it there is regional winery cooking: Spundekäs, fresh cheese whipped with wine, served with two pretzels; sausage salad with village bread; Handkäs, a soured-milk cheese with honey and mustard sauce; wine soup; roast beef with sautéed potatoes with bacon and onion and homemade beetroot; regional game sausage; and flammkuchen, the thin baked tart, savoury ones and a sweet one with apple. For vegetarians, spätzle with cheese or baked goat's cheese with warm grapes. The house pastry cook, Eva, makes the cakes. The PDF menu does not show prices; expect the level of a winery tavern.

The wine

The winery offers a carousel tasting, the Weinkarussell, with several of its wines in a row. The house itself warns that the wine list and the order of the tasting change, because each wine runs out. You can buy bottles in the shop, in the same venue.

Hours

Tuesday to Saturday, from 12:00 to 22:00, with the kitchen open from 12:00 to 19:00. Closed Sunday and Monday. It closes in winter: the last day of 2026 was Saturday 31 October, and the 2027 reopening date is not yet published. Beware if you make the trip on a Sunday: find somewhere else.

Getting there

It is on the Oberstraße, a few minutes' walk from the station and the KD landing stage. By car, park by the river, outside the wall.
