The Steenvoorde vineyard is located on the Nieuwkerk estate in Goirle. This vineyard is run by 7 enthusiastic men who practice their hobby there. The vineyard has various grape varieties, including Johanniter and Solaris. You can of course visit Wijngaard Steenvoorde for their own delicious wines, but also for a nice tour.

A very beautiful Brabant meadow path!
The overhanging branches provide a charming and secure appearance.
It is a special path in a beautiful nature reserve. If you follow this path you will arrive at "the stork nest".
