From north and south, east to west - The wine list at Valsen is above all dogma-free and versatile.
Wine and food are two elements that together can elevate a good meal to a completely sublime experience. We have created a wine menu that follows our dishes and best highlights and elevates the overall experience of your visit.
But tastes and preferences are, of course, quite individual. That is why we have also put together a wine list that caters for you who want to find your own wines for the food - whether it is to be reunited with an old favorite or to find a new one…
Valsen's wine list offers great breadth and variety with a predilection for the classic wine areas - but also with open eyes to the new ones.

White wine
A cold, dry white wine is a good treat as an aperitif before the meal.
Dry white wines are also directly associated with seafood and fish, just as a white wine can be ideal for cheese or dessert.
White wine can also be suitable for poultry, depending on the accessories. A rule of thumb says: light wine for light sauce, but here, as with any other choice of wines, one must first and foremost follow one’s own taste.
Red wine
The absolutely crucial characteristic of red wine that sets it apart from other types of wine is that it is ... well, red.
For the meal, dry red wines are the obvious choice for both red beef and light meats such as veal and lamb. In the case of poultry, it is essentially all the "accessories" that determine whether it should be a sweet, spicy, or fruity red wine.
Dessert wine
Dessert wines can be many different types of alcoholic beverages, depending on where in the world you enjoy your dessert, what you enjoy, or whom you enjoy it with.
Unlike wine served with a good meal food, dessert wine is much more varied in taste, color, and alcohol percentage, providing unimaginable opportunities for producers to make fun, crazy, exciting products that stand out, either in bottle shape, color or taste.
Champagne
Champagne or other sparkling wines are obvious not only for New Year and holidays.
In fact, most people should have a bottle of Champagne lying in the fridge so that it is always easy to grab - which at the same time reminds one that life is other than liver pate. Once you get hooked on sparkling wine, it's easy to find an opportunity to order a glass
