Wijndomein D'Hunes — Winery in Sint Geertruid

Marc and Eedsje Huynen's passion for wine grew out of tasting wines, wine trips and wine studies, so strongly that in 2016 they decided to plant a small vineyard of 325 vines in their back garden. Their first wine, Santé Gertrude Pinot Blanc, followed in 2018. The estate has since grown to 7 hectares with 11 different grape varieties, spread over south-east-facing slopes in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten: Sint Geertruid, Mheer, Banholt, Eckelrade and Mesch, the last of which runs seamlessly into the Belgian Voeren area. The Pinot Noir won a silver medal at the Mundus Vini Grand International Wine Award two years in a row. The tasting room looks straight out onto the stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels, so you literally drink the wine where it's made. Besides tastings there are vineyard tours, and the estate also hosts events, meetings and weddings. Het Wijnstekje d'Hunes is a holiday home for 8 people on the estate, and guests get 10% off the tasting. With the tasting: fresh rolls for lunch, sharing boards and changing bites.
