It’s been busy since their wine bar opened; they’re already looking to recruit more staff in the kitchen.

Their concept is proving a hit in the fruit-growing town of Tiel, explains sommelier Camilo: ‘Until now, there was nowhere in Tiel where you could enjoy a bottle of Meursault with a refined little snack to go with it. Many of our wines are imported directly from France by Edwin Muns himself, which means guests can enjoy wines they’re unlikely to come across elsewhere.’ Edwin Muns is the owner of Brasserie Poelzicht in Kapel-Avezaath, where both lads used to work.
Driven by his desire to give talented young people the chance to run their own businesses, Camilo van Drumpt Sanstra and Olivier Landewers of Petit Caveau came up with a joint idea for Petit Caveau. You can visit the bistro and wine bar for a gourmet lunch or dinner, or simply to enjoy a drink with some tasty nibbles and a fine glass of wine from the Mediterranean-inspired wine list, which features around twenty wines by the glass.
Why not combine your visit with a Betuws Wijndomein, eating or drinking more fruit can’t do any harm. An interesting fact: in the nineteenth century, wine vinegar was produced in Tiel from cheap imported wine, in a factory that was the predecessor of the De Betuwe jam factory.
