Wijnbar Walsjérôt — Wine bar in Rotterdam

Jelle Stelpstra had worked as a tax adviser for twelve years when, on holiday in Riga, he discovered a wine tap system and decided on the spot: I want this in Rotterdam. In September 2020 Walsjérôt opened on the Bentinckplein in Blijdorp. The concept is simple and brilliant: when you come in you load a card, then you walk to the imposing tap wall and pour your own, a sip, half a glass or a full glass. An evening here feels like a personal, no-barriers wine tasting. More than 70 wines from all over the world are open and at the right temperature at the same time, from fresh Albariño to powerful Italian reds. Alongside the tap wall there are Basque-style pintxos and tapas: oysters, cheese and charcuterie boards, Flammkuchen, beetroot couscous. Regular tastings and Vino & Pintxos evenings.
