The Amsteltuin makes this possible every weekend from May through October, on a plot of land spanning one and a half hectares that is home to more than 3,500 vines. This is not a decorative vineyard serving as a backdrop for a wine tasting. It\u2019s an active production site that yields approximately 3,500 bottles of North Holland wine each year.<\/h2>\n<p>Jan Schake and his partner Tieke Roose run the business together with a team of volunteers. Schake grows five grape varieties: Solaris and Johanniter for the white wines, Souvignier Gris for a gray wine, and Pinotin and Cabernet Cortis for the reds. These aren\u2019t names you\u2019ll find on your average supermarket shelf, but they\u2019re varieties that thrive in the Dutch climate and produce wines that, according to Schake, can compete with those from traditional wine regions like France and Italy. That\u2019s a bold claim, but the location speaks for itself: this is serious viticulture, not a hobby.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"an-inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-86671\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/pics_nlwineries_wijngaard-de-amsteltuin-wijn.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The property features a terrace, a wine cellar, and a glass house\u2014\u2019t Glazen Huis\u2014which serves as an event space for pop-ups and gatherings. The atmosphere is green and peaceful\u2014far enough from the city to really feel the difference, yet close enough to get there easily. On the terrace, you can join us for a \u201chigh wine\u201d experience, featuring wines from De Amsteltuin in North Holland. It\u2019s the perfect way to enjoy wine while taking in the view of the countryside where the grapes are grown.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You\u2019ll be dining literally surrounded by the Solaris, Johanniter, Souvignier Gris, Pinotin, and Cabernet Cortis that you\u2019ll later enjoy in your glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What also sets De Amsteltuin apart from other outings outside the city is that the vineyard provides daytime activities for people with cognitive disabilities. Some of the volunteers who tend the vines are people who find structure and work here. That gives the place a different significance than a typical event venue. The Amstelland region is already beautifully green, but this little spot has a bit more to offer than just a walk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/en\/lifestyle\/\">Lifestyle<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Er zijn weinig plekken in de omgeving van de stad waar je letterlijk tussen de wijnranken een glas kunt drinken.
