Chateau Amsterdam: wine tasting and making your own wine at this spot in North

Chateau Amsterdam is the first city winery in the Netherlands

Have you ever heard of a city winery? If not, that's perfectly understandable – we only recently opened the very first one in the Netherlands! It's Chateau Amsterdam in Amsterdam Noord. But what exactly does a city winery entail? Here's a quick explanation. After the grapes are harvested in their country of origin, they are transported to Amsterdam. There, the grapes are then selected a second time, vinified, and aged. So, the final winemaking process takes place within our city walls. How cool! Chateau Amsterdam's mission is to bring production and consumption closer together. This way, we city dwellers can become more familiar with how our wine is actually made.
