BnB Obermumpf

About Us – Bed and Breakfast - Bio/Organic Vineyard
Dave and Brandy in Switzerland.+

Vineyard & Small Bed & Breakfast with two (2) rooms for guests.

Dave loves to cook and the BnB thrives on his cooking skills, website reviews and best of all word of mouth!
Also known as "Dave Cuvee" to guests and social friends, creating quality, delicious meals with love and passion is my destination.
Most helpers leave here with extra kg, I am not not talking about extra carry luggage ;-)

Brandy is a female Hungarian Vizsla born October 2013. She is in training to search for truffles in the local forests. Brandy is a middle size dog weighing ca. 19kg and is very active. She is very intelligent, playful and uber friendly to everyone she has contact with. Brandy is being trained and fed by Dave, but she requires walks and exercise when Dave is at work. You should be a very dog friendly person.

Dave speaks fluent English and Swiss German (20+ years in CH), tattoo artist/piercer by profession, multilingual, grew up in NYC, is the owner/operator of a tattoo studio & tattoo museum close to the house.
Dave has a very flexible work schedule which finds him at home or fishing.

Our Diet: As a family we eat a wide variety of foods at our home and BBQ year round. Naturally enjoying wine from our vineyards to compliment the foods we eat. In regards to food and cuisine, we are extremely international in our tastes... Thai, Indian, Chinese, French, Italian, American, German, Japanese, etc, etc...
Dave is an outstanding cook and every night is a culinary excursion. We strive to eat locally grown foods which are bio and fresh when in season, from our garden... and enjoy as well a wide variety of cheeses. Brandy eats all natural, raw meat and bones only and her diet/meals are completely handled by Dave.

Tips:
Solo Uno, a most pleasurable experience to relax the body, mind and soul for a few hours http://www.parkresort.ch/en/parkresort/baths-saunas/#content-top
Highly recommended visit during your stay, close to our home.

Basel, a very beautiful city, over 50 museums, lots to do... www.basel.com/en

Bad Sackingen, a few minutes away by car from our home... http://www.bad-saeckingen-tourismus.de/index.shtml?en_homepage

Zurich, my least favorite city in Switzerland... Although I do appreciate what it has to offer regarding music and concerts venues and also ZRH being international as an airport, I go only when needed. https://www.zuerich.com/en#section-01

I would suggest Luzern as an alternative option for a day trip... not only do you have the beautiful lake, sights of the Alps, scenic old village, there is an excellent museum called the "Swiss Transport Museum" which is very, very cool! The museum is also a great escape if the weather changes abruptly ;-)
