The Netherlands may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of wine, but that is quickly changing. In this episode of Orange Horizons, we explore the rise of Dutch wine culture, from its early pioneers in the south to a new generation of winemakers spread across the country.

You’ll discover how climate, soil and innovation are shaping a diverse wine landscape, with vineyards in regions ranging from Limburg to Flevoland and even the northern provinces. We look at sustainable growing methods, new grape varieties and the surprising styles that are emerging, from fresh whites to sparkling and experimental wines.
