Explore Château Bon Baron, one of Belgium's leading wineries near Dinant, and discover the story behind modern Belgian wine.
Your experience begins with the remarkable story of Château Bon Baron and its founder, Jeanette van der Steen, whose pioneering vision helped shape the development of Belgian wine.
Guests are welcomed into the winery, where they discover how a modern Belgian wine estate operates and how quality, authenticity and innovation come together in every bottle.
Sustainability and environmental awareness form an important part of the visit. Château Bon Baron was the first Belgian winery to obtain Fair'n Green certification, demonstrating its commitment to responsible viticulture and long-term environmental stewardship.
The visit continues with one of the estate's core philosophies: great wine begins in the vineyard. Guests learn how grape varieties, climate, soil, biodiversity and vineyard management influence wine quality long before the grapes arrive at the winery.
This naturally leads to the winemaking process itself. Discover how white, rosé, red and sparkling wines are produced and how different vinification techniques influence style, aroma, structure and character.
The tasting begins with an engaging wine experience and masterclass, free from unnecessary jargon. Participants learn how to taste wine correctly, how to recognise quality, and how viticulture, terroir and winemaking decisions influence what is found in the glass.
The masterclass is followed by a guided tasting of a selection of Château Bon Baron wines, allowing guests to put theory into practice while discovering the diversity and quality of Belgian wines.
The experience concludes with the traditional friendship glass, offering an opportunity to continue conversations, ask questions and enjoy wine in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.
