PIPO BLOESEMLOUNGE
The Pipo Bloesemlounge is located amidst the fruit fields of the Porrey company. As well as offering a breathtaking view, they allow you to indulge in their own (and others’) local produce. An excellent idea for an outing with the kids is to take their train for a ride through the orchards!

LE BON VINVANT
Le Bon Vinvant has parked a mobile wine bar & food truck among the blossoming trees! They serve products typical of the Haspengouw region (such as regional beers or BLOSM Gin) in a cosy setting. We highly recommend them! There is a terrace for sunny days and a beautiful tent for days with Belgian weather.
