Join us for a unique visit to De Apostelhoeve, the Netherlands’ oldest and most iconic wine estate, beautifully located on the southern slopes of the Jekerdal just outside Maastricht, with roots tracing back to Roman times and a revival in 1970.

The wine estate of the Apostelhoeve currently consists of 20 hectares, where 5 different grape varieties have been planted: Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Gris and since 2020 also Viognier. At the moment, these grape varieties deliver seven beautiful, dry, white wines: the Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois, Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Gris Barriques and Viognier. In addition, the Apostelhoeve also makes two beautiful sparkling wines: the Riesling Brut and the Apostelhoeve Cuvée XII Brut.

During this immersive 1.5-hour experience, you’ll enjoy a guided tour through the vineyard, the pressing house, and the historic wine cellars. 

The tour concludes with a tasting of three carefully selected white wines, accompanied by local delicacies, served in one of De Apostelhoeve’s charming tasting rooms.

To make the most of the scenery, we will combine with a relaxed walk to the winery, which will take around 1 hr. You are welcome to join or go directly to the winery. Friends and family welcome, as always.

• Saturday, July 19th – Tour start is 1pm @ the winery
