Antwerp

Belgian winemakers mainly grow grape varieties that perform well in cooler climates, such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Auxerrois. The production of sparkling wines in particular is on the rise, with climate characteristics well suited to the requirements for high-quality sparkling wine production.

Although Belgium does not have the ideal climate for viticulture in the traditional sense, Belgian vintners have demonstrated with innovation and adapted growing techniques that high-quality wine production is possible. The rise of the Belgian wine industry and the growing recognition of Belgian wines, both nationally and internationally, underscore the potential of the Belgian climate for viticulture.

Worth exploring during your getaway.
