Hoenshof’s main goal is to put Belgian wines more prominently on the map. Jerom Houben says, “A lot of knowledge was passed down to me from a young age. The path to writing our own story is wide open. We don’t want to copy and paste, but to innovate.”

In 2002, Hoenshof (Prof. Dr. Ghislain Houben) planted his first grapevines on lands that have been in the family since 1907. His son, Jerom, who grew up among the wine barrels, is also passionate about the world of wine. Together, they cultivate 6.5 hectares of vineyards, featuring an impressive array of 25 different grape varieties. 

Ghislain possesses exceptional knowledge of the winemaking process. As his title suggests, studying and creating are his passions, resulting in a diverse range of wines.

At Hoenshof, there’s a strong emphasis on experimenting with highly varied blends. They work mainly with innovative grape varieties that are adapted to the cool climate. Additionally, in 2021, the Hoenshof estate produced its first organic wines.
