No natural caves in this part of the world, unless they are under water.
Bern's wine cellar is just that-a wine cellar that they built some years
ago. They also built two so-called "caves" to house a cheese collection,
which they make a point of stating that they are not man-made caves to
their credit.
About 90% of their wine collection isn't even on site; it's stored off
site in a climate controlled warehouse.
How do I know this? I work with a guy who was a sommelier there in the
80s. He got the wife and I a tour of the off site warehouse back in 2004.
Impressive if you are into wine. I'm not, so it was just a big building
with a lot of bottles in it to me.
Now the cheese collection I could get into...

They have multiples, one right under the restaurant in a natural cave.
It is an amazing place. The kitchen was cleaner than a surgical suite, I
swear the floor looked absolutely spotlessly shiny clean, you could have
your meal right there on the floor.
