The vineyards of Maastricht

Just outside the city of Maastricht, one finds various vineyards gracing the slopes of the Limburg hills. The vineyards of Maastricht are some of the oldest in Holland, initially planted back in Roman times. You can visit these vineyards, take a tour, and taste Pinot Noir, Riesling and Müller-Thürgau.

The Jeker Valley

Although the Jeker is a small river, it has a major influence on the Limburg landscape. This small river traverses the green valley, with its hills and picturesque villages, carving a path from the Belgian border until it meets up with the Meuse in Maastricht. Not only does the Bishop’s Mill owe its existence to the Jeker, but the vineyards in the Jeker Valley are also irrigated by this modest river.
