About the In Vino Veritas…!

An evening all about wines: cruise on the Lys river – wine seminar with wine specialist and tasting with appetizers – dinner in a unique restaurant, wines included.

Program:

Welcome by our guide/wine specialist and cruise on the canals of Ghent during 40 minutes. You will pass by following sights:

• St Bavo’s Cathedral, the Belfry and the St Nicholas’ Church
• Old guildhalls built by boats men, masons, grain measures, fishmongers, hag butters,…
• Impressive castles like the Castle of the Counts and the Prince’s Court, birthplace of Charles V
• The more than solid 13th century monasteries previously occupied by
• Augustinians and Dominicans.
• The Ancient Port of Ghent along with its quay-walls and mercantile houses,
• never too far away of shady inns packed with girls of easy virtue etc…

We end our cruise along the pier of a unique historical cellar in the center of Ghent. Our guide/wine specialist offers you here a real wine seminar. We will taste here 4 wines with totally different contrasts: a German Rieseling Moesel wine, a Spanish Albarino from the Rias Baixas or a Franch Monbazillac as white wines. Your wine specialist will present you a combination of French Merlot with South African wine as red wine to taste the difference between those two wines who are made from the same grapes. These wines will be accompanied with appetizers who perfectly match with each wine such as: mousse of smoked trout with apple, toast of smoked salmon with red onions, smoked duck breast and raspberry dressing, blue cheese with honey).

After the wine seminar (duration 1.5 – 2 hours), we continue our evening with a little walk towards our final destination. In this new, trendy restaurant with unique situation that recently opened, we will take dinner.
