Bioul Castle
Enjoy the flavours of wine in a magnificent setting
Situated between Namur and Dinant, the majestic Bioul Castle will win you over with its sumptuous architecture, as rich as it is varied. A true legacy of the past, this exceptional location will amaze you with its prestigious history, of which Gobert d’Orbais, also known as Gobert de Bioul, was one of the leading figures in the 1210s as a knight and eminent lord.
Now owned by the Wyckmans-Vaxelaire family, who are keen to preserve this family heritage, the estate is home to secret nooks and crannies, statues and other decorative features from different eras, as well as splendid grounds with remarkable trees.
With the “Made in Bioul” tour, you will take part in a fascinating “discovery tour” that will lead you back into the past of the castle and the Vaxelaire family. You will then explore the vineyards and wine-making facilities, finishing with a stroll through the park to discover the hundred-year-old trees before enjoying a tasting of the vintages in the cellar and local produce.
