Wine and art attract the crowds in Ootmarsum

Twente Wine Tasting Days in Ootmarsum bring art and wine lovers together to celebrate all things delicious and beautiful

We had a lovely time walking around a busy Ootmarsum on Sunday as part of the Twente Wine Days tasting route. Beautiful wine barrels adorned the town, highlighting the unique attraction Ootmarsum, found in the depths of East Netherlands, is to the art world drawing art and wine lovers alike from all over the country, and even a few from neighbouring Germany.

One of my favourites outside the rather enticing l'Acadèmia Olie & Azijn delicatessen stocking food, wine, oil, fabulous meat, kitchenware and much more...

The town was packed with shoppers and people out for lunch with a really vibrant atmosphere providing an excellent boost to the local economy (pre-Christmas), bringing people into the region, from near and far.

Buy a ticket, receive a glass, and walk around the town meeting people and tasting wine from all over the world plus a number from here in Twente – East Netherlands. 

Just a few mice!

This was my favourite barrel – so delicate and decorative

Kommeri is the best place in Twente to head for all your Scandi needs, stocking brands such as Marimekko amongst other.
Our final stop – cheese tasting and just a little wine!
