Design & Wine is a special place on Haarlemmerdijk, where Dutch quality wines and refined design come together in an almost tangible harmony. Here you don't just taste a glass; you enter a space where the aesthetics and story surrounding wine play as prominent a role as the taste itself.
The interior, designed by Rose Groot, exudes simplicity and elegance with a careful palette of materials and colors that exude tranquility and sophistication. The store feels like an intimate, stylish oasis in the middle of bustling Amsterdam. Behind a hidden door are even speakeasy-like tasting rooms, inviting you on a sensory journey where the passion for Dutch wine takes center stage.
Design & Wine distinguishes itself by offering a unique assortment of exclusively Dutch wines, directly from quirky producers from different regions. Think of the wood-aged orange wine Oranje Blanje, the alcohol-free HopHout and the fortified Coulisse Rood - each with a distinctive story and carefully selected for quality and authenticity.
"Design & Wine is more than a store; it is a total experience where taste and style meet in perfection."
Vinologist Diederik Walhof takes visitors on tastings in which the process from grape to glass comes to life, enriched with stories from the winemakers themselves. These sessions are accessible and informative, suitable for both seasoned connoisseurs and curious foodies. In addition, the store offers exclusive design objects, from glassware to decanters, from top brands such as Alessi and Ichendorf Milano.
Design & Wine represents an inviting experience that brings together art, craft and taste. In the heart of Amsterdam, it is a destination for those who want to look beyond the label and are lovers of the good life - a place where wine and design are intertwined in an elegant dance.
