Breisgau
Freiburg's Colombi keeps a cellar under the lobby with more than 30,000 bottles across 600 wines going back to the 1934 vintage, poured in the hotel's Weinstube and Zirbelstube.
The list: A cellar beneath the lobby holding more than 30,000 bottles across 600 different wines, back to the 1934 vintage, poured in the Weinstube and Zirbelstube.
Tip: The Weinstube serves lunch Tuesday to Saturday and dinner Monday to Saturday, on a shorter card than Zirbelstube.
Kraichgau
The Heitlinger Hof stands in Weingut Heitlinger's vineyards at Am Muehlberg 3 in Oestringen-Tiefenbach, sharing its grounds with the estate's Vinothek, Weinbistro and golf course.
The list: Shares its grounds with Weingut Heitlinger's Vinothek and Weinbistro, so estate tastings and dinner sit on the same site as the rooms.
Tip: The estate Vinothek and Weinbistro are on the same grounds, so a tasting needs no drive afterwards.
Tuniberg
A converted manor complex at St.-Erentrudis-Strasse 12 in the Tuniberg wine village of Freiburg-Munzingen, with a Weinbar of its own and the Winzerverein Munzingen cellars at number 14.
The list: Runs its own Weinbar inside a Tuniberg wine village, with the Winzerverein Munzingen cellars a short walk along the same street.
Tip: Munzingen's Winzerverein sits at number 14 on the same street, a two-minute walk for a tasting.
Kraichgau
A privately run hotel at Rheinstrasse 1 in Ettlingen, on the western edge of the Kraichgau, built around a MICHELIN-starred restaurant and the separate Weinstube Sibylla for regional bottles.
The list: Weinstube Sibylla pours the regional Baden side while the MICHELIN-starred room works the main hotel cellar.
Tip: Weinstube Sibylla is the regional-wine room and takes bookings separately from the starred restaurant.
Markgraeflerland
The Hirschen at Hauptstrasse 69 in Sulzburg is Douce Steiner's hotel as well as her restaurant, a small Markgraeflerland house where the rooms and the dining room share one booking desk.
The list: Rooms sit over Douce Steiner's dining room, so the restaurant's Markgraeflerland-led list is the house list.
Tip: Rooms are few and tied to the restaurant's Wednesday-to-Saturday rhythm, so book both together.
Black Forest
The Traube Tonbach sits on the Tonbach valley road above Baiersbronn and houses the three-star Schwarzwaldstube with its chef sommelier, so the hotel cellar doubles as the restaurant's.
The list: Cellar shared with the three-MICHELIN-star Schwarzwaldstube and run by chef sommelier Stéphane Gass, holder of the MICHELIN Sommelier Award.
Tip: Schwarzwaldstube tables go through the hotel's own reservations desk and are taken months ahead.
