Highlights

Belgian wines is a booming and vibrant industry, yet still very small. Even in Belgium, it's hard to get hold of the wines as they come from many tiny estates scattered across the country and sold mostly in restaurants.


Thanks to my background in the wine industry with sommelier courses and a wine master's degree in Bordeaux I've been able to made a selection of great tasting wines that also highlight the various aspects of Belgian winemaking. So in 1.5 hours you will get a full fledged immersion, an exclusive experience and special memories.


Moreover, the experience takes place at a unique location: my penthouse is situated in one of the cosiest neighbourhoods of Gent, at a 10min walk from the city centre. The whole béguinage area is on the UNESCO heritage site list, and the house I live in was built in 1664. Outside it looks like hundreds of years ago, while inside it's been recently renovated without losing its historical veneer. It's lovely and spacious and waiting for you!

Itinerary

  • Begijnhofdries 30

    Together we will discover the world of Belgian wines and its exciting story. I will host you at my home inside a 1664 historical house which is part of a UNESCO heritage site (béguinage). During the tasting we will learn some surprising facts about the history of Belgian wine making and the driving forces behind its ongoing Renaissance. You will also find out about the 5(+2) recognized appellations and their typicities, and of course we will experience the wines through tasting! There will be 5 wines to discover: a sparkling made according to méthode champenoise, 2 whites and 2 reds. By tasting the wines you will get to know the Belgian style and how famous international as well as typical local varieties express themselves. I will guide you through the professional tasting steps, with the help of supporting hand outs that you will be able to take home with you. Last but not least, we will offer a selection of starters, all typical Belgian foods carefully selected to create winning pairings with the wines.
