Evi and Daniel wanted to produce their own top quality wine. In 2008, their dream finally came true and they decided to plant a vineyard. This is a family business where wine growing is done according to modern techniques.

During the summer period, various activities and open days are organised.

SOUTHERN SUMMER BAR IN THE VINEYARD NEAR ALDEN BIESEN

A delicious glass of wine, a legendary castle, southern snacks and a breathtaking view. For Fabio Celli and Laura Vanbael of the Montepertini wine estate, summer cannot start soon enough. Right in their four-hectare vineyard near the Alden Biesen estate, they are opening an idyllic pop-up bar from 20 June. Different from many others because of its unique setting and the rich history behind it.

A stylish hotspot for gourmets and bon vivants will soon arise exactly at the spot where 400 years ago the vanished seventh drive passed from the Apostle House. A piece of pure ‘joie de vivre’ in South Limburg.

For the Summer Bar, we complement a selection of our own products with hearty finger food. Think tapas croquettes or a cheese board. So something for everyone. Because everyone is welcome here. To enjoy with family, friends and colleagues. The Summer Bar can also be hired for networking events or group parties. In the end, it's all about one thing: bringing people together to strengthen mutual ties. And what better way to do that on a summer day than with good food and drinks in the middle of nature? You get the wonderful sunset behind the vast Limburg countryside for free.’

The South in Bilzen
Montepertini's Summer Bar is open from 20 June to 17 August on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 3pm to 10pm. Only in rainy weather we keep closed.
Parking is available nearby on the Keiberg, on one side of the Bosselaar or in the main Alden Biesen car park. A short walk towards Apostle House only adds to the experience. And why not come by bike or on foot? Our vineyard is located on the Limburg cycling route network and you also immediately pick up on some great walking routes here. The pop-up is the perfect intermediate or final stop of a pleasant trip through our beautiful city.

The youngest generation of Vanmarsenille-Cornelis moves to cultivate white and red grapes. The seven grandchildren of Paul Vanmarsenille gave a new purpose to this "difficult" field in 2014. The subsoil turned out to be the ideal terroir for the creation of a unique vineyard.

Piquant detail: the vineyard is located in the "Marsnil" area, undoubtedly the origin of the Vanmarsenille family name. This place is already mentioned on the Herkenrodek maps (1660) as "Het Marsenil velt": Mars= marsh, ille = island.

The total area now amounts to 2.25 hectares.
All varieties are mainly processed into dry and still wines.
The largest share is chardonnay, pinot noir and auxerrois. Alongside these are the late-ripening varieties riesling, gewurztraminer and merlot.

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.

The wine domain is located in the beautiful Belgian Voerstreek. A sparsely populated and quiet hiking area with unspoiled nature, where time seems to have stood still. On a beautiful southern slope "the Crindael" we grow our grapes on a for wine grapes excellent chalky and mineral rich soil.

Experience, tasting and fun in the emerging wineregion Haspengouw / Limburg. We cruise with our golfcarts, walk, cycle, minivan in day or nighttime though this beautiful and tasty landscape - check site www.brutbrut.be for standard packages, or contact us for customising!

The name of the vineyard "Clos d'Opleeuw" refers to the completely walled piece of land that goes back to 1840.
This unique location results in a specific micro-climate that make a highly qualitative Chardonnay wine.
The vineyard is situated on a southern slope in the beautiful and picturesque village Gors-Opleeuw.

The wine’s official name of origin is "Haspengouw" and is made by Peter Colemont, a teacher of oenology and wine-tasting.
He applies only the best wine-making techniques. The wine stays in oak casks of supreme quality for 1 year. He uses French as well as Belgian oak. The latter makes the wine Clos d'Opleeuw unique!
The wine has a strong velvety character and shows marked hints of oak early on. Nevertheless, enough acidity and fruity touches are left.
Additionally, it has flavours of butter, vanilla, toasted bread and fruit.The wine’s concentration, abundance and aftertaste pair deliciously with various crustaceans and fish dishes.
