South Limburg's Heuvelland is a special area. The hills and nature soon make you feel like you are in France. In this, the vineyards you encounter in various places play a nice role. Because growing wine in the Netherlands is impossible anywhere else like in the south. The wines are special in taste: you taste the Limburg landscape. The landscape that has unique characteristics.

  • Wine grapes Apostelhoeve Maastricht
  • South Limburg wine

Viticulture is now firmly rooted in South Limburg. What once started as an experiment has grown into a serious industry with dozens of vineyards and a growing reputation. Some winemakers supply the hotel and catering industry, while others welcome visitors to their wineries for tours and tastings. The presence of viticulture not only gives the Hill Country a recognisable face, but also strengthens the link between landscape, craft and taste. It is a form of agriculture that suits the environment and contributes to the region's attractiveness.

BOB Mergelland

The Mergelland PDO in South Limburg is an official wine region approved by the European Union and has been in existence since 6 March 2018. These South Limburg wines possess unique characteristics due to the hilly landscape, ranging from 49 to 322 metres above sea level. Only vineyards on loess soil are allowed to carry this label, which provides the typical base of fresh and fruity, white Limburg wines.
