Vineyards

The winemaker of Wine Estate Sassenbroek (with vineyard in Borgloon and winery in Zonhoven) shows you around his private garden in Hasselt. A gem of landscape architecture at a stone's throw from Bokrijk.

Then, with a view on the garden, you taste some of the wines from the estate, which is best known for its range of sparkling 'Claire Martin' wines.
In cse of bad weather, the tasting will take place in a covered outdoor area.

There is an opportunity to purchase the wines.

Cuvelier Winery has vineyards in Jesseren and Kerniel. 12,000 vines are spread over an area of about 2,8 hectares.
They mainly produce sparkling wines but also red and white wines, including Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Grüner Veltliner.
To obtain the right aromas, Cuvelier Winery makes sure that the grapes are perfectly ripe for harvest.

In 2015 Peter Nijskens started a family project in viticulture. The Gloire de Duras wine estate is mainly located in Wilderen and Duras. The planted vines are Chardonnay, Auxerrois and Pinot Gris. The Nijskens family has also planted Riesling in the walled garden of Duras Castle.

The casual passer-by, the inquisitive wine lover, the interested tourist and the genuine bon vivant: everyone is welcome here. The Celli family assembles Limburg hospitality and Italian conviviality. And brings her striking story to life in a passionate way. In a formula tailored to your wishes.

Fabio and Laura organize guided tours, workshops, teambuildings and tastings. Between the vines, in the winery and on the idyllic wine terrace of their authentic farm in Mopertingen. This is where you resonate with life and forge friendly, family and professional ties.

Fairytale or chivalrous?

Prefer to practice with two feet? That too is possible. Put on your boots and become a winegrower for a day. Finish with a delicious glass of wine at sunset. The vineyard in Eigenbilzen is the perfect setting for a magical evening. It gets even more fairytale-like on the Montepertini domain near Alden Biesen.

A state-of-the-art wine estate of four hectares will soon arise at the historic gateway to the imposing castle domain. Here you can enjoy a majestic view of Limburg. And you can easily connect to the Limburg cycling route network. The two domains of Bilzen are good for more than 20,000 bottles. It proves the burning ambition of the Celli family.

Ambitious and sustainable

On their vineyards you will mainly find Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Noir.

Their wines originated from a sustainable mission: respect for nature and optimal use of everything that the vineyard produces. That vision was also the basis for their distillates: Night flight Aqua Vitae, Aqua Vitae Barrique and Squadron, a 100% local gin all based on the press residues.
Their range of wines is completed by 2 bubbles.

In 1989, a group of wine enthusiasts planted a vineyard in the Mot valley “de Groote Mot”. Later, in 1995, the 'Gilde der Loonse Wynluyden' (the Guild of Winegrowers) came into existence.
A new extension followed in 2010 when the vineyard on the domain of the Clee castle in Kuttekoven was planted.
The wine cellars and wine experience site can be found on the site of the syrup factory in Borgloon.
Every 2 years, the 'Gilde der Loonse Wynluyden' organises wine festivals in cooperation with the city of Borgloon (every 3rd Sunday of September).

Winegrower Kris Vanormelingen produces fruity and honest wines at 'Het Heuvelswijnhuisje' in Kerniel. In addition to the vineyard in his backyard, he maintains several more vineyards in Kerniel and Jesseren, totaling some 3,000 vines with the main varieties of Muller-Thurgau, Sieger and Ortega for the white wines and Vroege Loonse and Dornfelder for the red wines.

In the 90s, winegrowers Guy Geunis, Maxim Geunis, Theo Pasque and Rik Schreurs started a vineyard in Jesseren (Hoogveld). They decided to focus on sparkling wines from the three Champagne grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
Optimbulles is careful to make the wine as natural as possible, and not to sweeten the wines.

Since a few years, they have been using apples from Borgloon to make their sparkling wine. Optimbulles also makes red and white natural wines.

In the heart of the Limburg Meuse Valley in Belgium, the Aldeneyck vineyards are nestled on the sunny South Eastern slopes of the Meuse river. In the picturesque town of Aldeneik, nearby the cultural city of Maaseik, the Pinot Blanc, Gris, Noir, Rosé, Chardonnay, Riesling and 4 sparkling wines are cultivated with a great deal of passion on the mineral-rich pebble and gravel terroir. The warm microclimate and the unique stony soil of the valley of the Meuse guarantee a mineral, elegant and fruity taste.

Every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. you can buy and taste the Aldeneyck wines, which have been repeatedly rewarded the prize of best Belgian wine, with a delicious cheese and meat platter on the wine terrace or in the renewed wine bar. It is also possible to join guided tours to see the winemaking process in the winery with the stainless steel cuves and French Barriques, followed by an extensive tasting of 5 wines. Via the Cycle Route Network Limburg (nodes 24/25) you pass the wine estate Aldeneyck. The new marked walking route lets you stroll along the Maaseik vineyards.

Making a reservation is recommended via the website for both a degustation in the wine bar and a guided tour with wine tasting.
