19 Pumpkin Farms in the Netherlands for a Feel-Good Autumn Getaway

A few years ago, I visited a few pumpkin farms for the first time, and what a fun autumn outing it is! Now that pumpkin season has started again, most pumpkins have already been harvested, but if you're there in time, you can pick them yourself in some places. Pumpkin picking is a craze that has spread from the United States, where it autumn outing is an integral part of the preparations for HalloweenIt's fun to go to a pumpkin farm with the kids or friends to pick out the most beautiful pumpkins and buy them directly from the farmer. It's a tradition we'll be keeping up this fall! This month, I took another fun pumpkin-hunting tour through North Holland, and my son Manuel and I bought the most beautiful pumpkins at Pumpkin Farm Bos.

Heading out of town? 🍂 These are my favorite walking and drinking spots in the Netherlands.

To be honest... I don't see myself living outside the city anytime soon, but on weekends I do enjoy getting out into nature. That's why I've created a YLBB shortlist of the most beautiful hiking areas, complete with a great spot for drinks nearby.

My perfect Sunday? First, a walk, then plopping down somewhere with a treat or a hot chocolate (or, of course, a glass of wine and bitterballen!).

📍From Lage Vuursche to the Waterleidingduinen and the Amsterdamse Bos, in this video I share my favorites.

But... there are, of course, many more great places in the Netherlands where you can enjoy a drink after a walk. Which tip do you think shouldn't be missed? 👇

Save this post to enjoy nature this season, or forward it to your hiking date. 🍁

Forget the classic omakase experience in Amsterdam, this is something else.

Hidden inside burger spot @paindemie_amsterdam and inspired by the Tokyo subway, you'll find @moyo_amsterdam. A new hotspot redefining the omakase concept.

Chef @guillaumedebeer is behind this next-level concept, and it shows in every creative detail. But here O-toro and Wagyu take the stage 🥩.

It's intimate, creative, and seriously one of the most exciting new openings in Amsterdam right now.

Save this for your next special dinner night 🔥

The most beautiful l𝗶𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘀 throughout 𝗡𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 for your 𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 this season

The days are getting shorter, the evenings longer…

And honestly? I secretly think that's one of the best things about this season. Because the transition from fall to winter means: light festivals! ✨

All over the Netherlands, cities, parks and castles light up with light art, projections and installations that you'll want to see.

What once started with the Amsterdam Light Festival has grown into one of the most beautiful winter traditions in the country, if you ask me!

At most light festivals they also have nice hot chocolate and food stalls for something tasty to go.

Perfect for a winter evening with your loved one, family or friends.

Can you picture yourself with a hot chocolate or mulled wine in hand, strolling past works of art that transform streets, parks, and canals into a fairytale?

From North Holland to Gelderland, I'm sharing all the tips in a comprehensive article on Your Little Black Book, featuring the best light festivals in almost every province in the Netherlands.

Believe me: this is such a special outing to make the dark days just a little bit brighter.

Ps: I'll also have some exciting news about the @lefoodwalk at the @amsterdamlightfestival on Your Little Black Book soon!

Have fun making plans!

Looking for the hottest new spot for a date night in Amsterdam City Center? Meet @littlebonfire.ams 🔥

With its cozy vibe it's the kind of place that feels like an extension of your living room: but with much better food and wine.

On the ever changing menu you'll find classics to share: from pan con tomate with anchovies, stracciatella with zucchini and peas, to crispy eggplant, vitello and sea bass with clams. Don't skip dessert: the Basque cheesecake is already my favorite.

This spot is perfect for a date night at the bar or dinner with the girls.
