Domein Hof te Dieren hosts company outings, parties and weddings for groups of at least 20 people in a walled organic vineyard of just over two hectares in Dieren, in the Netherlands. The salon du vin with its covered terrace takes up to about 50 guests, and the vineyard itself and an outdoor terrace can be used as well.
Seminars and company events
The vineyard lists company outings among the occasions it hosts, and describes the salon du vin as a possible training or meeting location for companies. Groups visiting for a tasting start at 15 participants, while bookings for parties and events carry a minimum of 20. A wine tasting led by the winegrower can open or close a working day, with an explanation of each wine.
Guided tours with a tasting can be combined with a bike, scooter or e-bike tour, a walk, or a shooting tournament, with the vineyard as the start and finish. This gives an agency or an office manager a ready-made team activity near Dieren.
Weddings and receptions
The vineyard welcomes weddings and is registered as a Huis der gemeente, which means civil ceremonies can take place on site. Receptions can be held in the vineyard or on the terrace. The vineyard also accepts photo shoots. It also hosts birthdays, jubilees, family days and informal funerals.
