For years, wine has been produced with skill and passion in Limburg. Both white and red grapes thrive perfectly in this region, giving Limburg wines an excellent reputation. It is therefore no surprise that these delectable wines are sold all over the world. A fun fact: as much as one-third of all Dutch wine comes from beautiful South Limburg. This area, with its rolling hills and fertile soil, offers ideal conditions for growing grapes. The wine from the Mergelland and Vijlen regions of South Limburg has even received official recognition from the European Commission, with the prestigious Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Go on a fascinating tour or enjoy a sophisticated wine tasting. Taste the harmonious flavors, admire the artisanal processes and discover the secrets behind the success of these Limburg wines. What better way to experience the beauty of South Limburg and its vineyards than by bicycle? As you pedal through the breathtaking landscape, you'll be treated to panoramic views. The route is deliberately not too long, giving you ample time to look around at your leisure, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and, of course, the delicious wines you encounter along the way.
