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!
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The experience takes place at a private penthouse, on the 2nd floor of a historical building. Look for a green door in a red brick building across the cobblestone street from the church entrance.
