Hans Rhyner

You enjoy a wine differently when you know that the winemaker has harvested the grapes by fine manual labor on the steepest slopes, where the mule is the only means of transport. Wine luminary Hans Rhyner, together with wife Beatrice, is shaping the two restaurants Taverne and Bärenstobe into the flagship of the wine scene.

What guests say

Das gesamte Haus ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, man fühlt sicher sofort wohl. Die Küche ist exquisit und extrem fein, Personal aussergewöhnlich freundlich und fachkundig!!!! Danke für dieses Erlebnis der Extraklasse!!!

A highly recommendable and very well maintained, newly equipped hotel . Staff (incl. patron/chef) very obliging and attentive. The dinner was a poem and was served with much joy and fresh, tasty ingredients. The hotel rooms were very clean and modern, but furnished with a lot of homely style. We have slept wonderfully and afterwards rich breakfast buffet. We were not there for the last time and will surely meet several times in the future in the hotel Pampering bears. A big thank you to the whole crew !

Eines der schönsten Hotels die ich kenne!
Sehr schöne Zimmer … und ein wunderbares Ambiente!

Tolles Hotel, wunderschön renoviert, heimelig, auch das Essen war wunderbar, gerne jederzeit wieder!

Excellent!
Excellent food in an elegant ambience, extremely attentive and courteous service. Here the guest is king.

Gerne wieder! Sauber, freundliches Personal, sehr gute Küche!

Das Hotel ist mit 3 Sternen ausgezeichnet, in meinen Augen hat es aber locker 4 Sterne verdient. Die Hotelzimmer sind schön und modern eingerichtet. Das Personal freundlich und aufmerksam und entsprechend der Service spitze. Das Essen ebenfalls hervorragend. Alles in allem kommen wir gerne wieder. Das Hotel kann ich mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.
