Antwerp

Organic farm, local brewery, modern vineyard and Michelin star restaurant

A farm specialized in organic pumpkins, a village brewery with strong beers, an architectural winery where the first wine is being bottled in 2020, an exquisite vegetable restaurant with an impressive herb garden and the Scheldt as the central theme of the day: that’s what a Full Basket Experience starting from Antwerp looks like. On our bikes we quickly go from the busy city life to the peace and quiet of the Scheldeland.

Route description

At an organic farm (1) in Aartselaar, specialised in pumpkins, we stop for a snack from its bakery while we listen to the owner’s interesting story.

Afterwards we ride on to Niel and pause at a brewer (2) who produces a rich variety of artisanal beers. We taste some beers and chocolate that go perfect together.

After crossing the Rupel we arrive in Klein Brabant. There we can admire the impressive architecture of the winery (3) where we also have our lunch and enjoy a wine tasting.

Then we’re surely ready for the last part of our trip towards our final stop; a renowned vegetable restaurant (4) with an impressive herb garden (and Michelin star). We stroll through the garden with the chef as our instructor, pick our own lettuce and enjoy a delicious BBQ preparation while seated at a wooden picnic table.
