Vineyard De Apostelhoeve

Vineyard De Apostelhoeve
The oldest and one of the largest vineyards in the Netherlands, Vineyard de Apostelhoeve, lies in Maastricht of course. The Hulst family cultivates various grape varieties on 10 hectares of land on the Louwberg. The Dutch wine tradition dates back to Roman times, but made place for other agrarian activities until 1970, when the grapevines returned to the southern slope of the Jeker valley in Maastricht. The Louwberg is an ideal location for the largest vineyard in the Netherlands due to the large quantities of loess, marl and gravel, and definitely worth a visit!

Enjoy the best wines of the Netherlands
Life is all about enjoyment. Wine grower Mathieu Hulst explains: ‘That’s what people should do here, because everything is geared to enjoyment. I’m sometimes asked whether I’m still aware of the ‘un-Dutch’ landscape surrounding our château, the vineyard stretching out over the steep hills above the Maastricht Jeker valley and the splendid view of the city. I see it every day and I enjoy it every day.
