Do you know the urban winery Chateau Amsterdam? I’ve written about it before, but if you haven’t yet ventured to Noord to visit this winery, now is the perfect time to do so. Especially in autumn when the new harvest comes in. Imagine this: in the wine warehouse of Chateau Amsterdam, around 44,000 kilos of grapes from about seven different countries are processed into wine. At their new location, you can also enjoy delicious Italian food. So, this industrial spot is fun to visit year-round for a wine tasting.
Wine Tasting at Chateau Amsterdam
During harvest season, the wine-making process is in full swing: while sipping on one of the wines from the tasting, visitors get a glimpse into the inner workings of the urban winery Chateau Amsterdam. Looking for something special to do in the city? Then the Wine Tasting at Chateau Amsterdam is the perfect outing to surprise your friends with (more information and tickets >>). You can book the tasting from Wednesday to Sunday. The flight of five wines can also be paired with matching bites!
Wine-making process close to the consumer
What makes Chateau Amsterdam so unique is that they bring grapes instead of bottles to Amsterdam. This way, the wine-making process is just a stone’s throw away from the consumer. It’s something more common in the US and Australia, but in the Netherlands, Chateau Amsterdam is still the only urban winery.
A new tradition of winemaking
By bringing grape varieties from different countries to Amsterdam and developing new blends, Chateau innovates and experiments in a world dictated by dogma, tradition, and rules. As Amsterdam-based winemakers, they are not bound to any particular label or appellation. With wine names that spark imagination rather than cater to wine expertise, Chateau makes wine for everyone: the novice, the connoisseur, and the young wine adventurer.
