In the Netherlands, more and more wineries are appearing, but these generally have little to do with climate change, because this is something other than the classic type of grapes that are grown in France, for example, such as Pinot Noir and Auxerrios. These new varieties are much less susceptible to mildew, which in cooler climates, often causes damage to them. With these new varieties even on the islands it is possible to grow wine. Even in Denmark there are vineyards
Still, in the Netherlands the classic grapes can still grow well in some locations and that is in the Wijngoed Thorn. With the hills in Limburg there are local areas where the conditions are just right for growing the classic wine grapes, although in our changeable climate, there also occurs years that the grapes do not ripen properly.
The departure of the wine tasting - Cruise Package is from the chosen location. The boat trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes to Thorn, followed by a walk of about 10 minutes to the wine cellar and tasting in the Wijngoed Thorn, in the old historic white town of Thorn. Here you will get a presentation, a tour and a tasting of three wines and a small snack.
After about 2 hours, re- board for departure back home.
This package is for a group of at least 10 people and maximum 12. The price per person is 35,00 euro (including VAT)
In the historic building (built in 1803) on the Maasboulevard in Wessem you find the Gasterie de Knip and you will be welcomed warmly by hosts Cora and Hub Smolenaers.
Their love for Belgian beer is not to be missed. Upon entering this cosy cafe with a living room the atmosphere jumps at you, with extensive taps with diverse selected Belgian beers.
Exclusively for Klaas Vaart, Gasterie de Knip has two new packages on the card. You can have an enjoyable evening or afternoon in the tasting room or on the beautiful sunny Maas terrace where you can enjoy the hospitality and passing speed.
Beer Tasting
The Maas has a speed limit of 12 miles per hour, but in certain places it is allowed sail faster. And speed boating is fun! Or do you want more thrills and go in a tube behind the boat and then fly at high speed (About 50 km / h) on the water. Note; during the rotation of curves, the velocity in the tube can rise even further.
Along the way we first go via Osen, which is also a nice experience. Immediately after the lock on the right hand side there is located a "fast sailing lake”. The sailing time is about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the time needed for the lock. For behind the boat, there is a choice of a large round disk with a diameter of 200 cm (up to 3 people), a 3 person banana or a three person jobe.
The stay on the fast sailing lake is approximately 1.5 hours. Then a calm return trip with the possibility to wind on one of the lakes.
This is a group package for a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 10 people. The price per person is 50 euros (including VAT).
