Wijngaard Hesselink — Winery in Winterswijk

In the hamlet of Henxel, just outside Winterswijk in the Achterhoek, lies this vineyard run by Gerhard Ensing. On around 3 hectares, spread over three plots, the vines are mainly disease-resistant varieties such as Solaris, Johanniter, Souvignier Gris, Regent, Pinotin and Cabernet Noir, alongside Chardonnay.

Tours and tastings can be booked all year round; the tasting includes five wines with baguette and cheese. The vineyard is on the cycle junction network and is a rest stop for cyclists and walkers. Recommended for anyone cycling in the Achterhoek who wants to taste Dutch wine along the way.
