Steep hills first take you to Terhulpen, where the Belgian Baidordruif grape variety was developed at the provincial research center through a cross with the Muscat grape. Passing by the beautiful Lake Genval and several grape growers, you’ll arrive in Overijse. Be sure to stop by the Dru!f Visitor Center—highly recommended as an introduction to the Wine Region. You’ll end this route on unpaved paths through the majestic Sonian Forest.
Before you set out: This route passes through the municipalities of Overijse, Hoeilaart, and Tervuren.
