The old syrup factory of Borgloon is one of the last remainders of the industrial processing of fruit into syrup. At the beginning of the last century, Borgloon was the home of the syrup production, which earned the inhabitants the nickname of Strooplekkers³. The factory was founded in 1878, but in 1988 the activity ceased. Part of the factory, including the complete installation, was listed as a protected monument in 1999. In 2005, the Borgloon city council purchased the syrup factory to prevent further decay. FRUIT 13 14 FRUIT

WINE TASTING IN BORGLOON

There is nothing that brings out the value of the soil more than a good glass of wine. And that is precisely what Haspengouw excels at. After all, the best wine of the ‘North’ is made on the fertile Haspengouw slopes.

In Borgloon and the surrounding area there was already wine growing between the 12th and 15th century. That this craft played an important role at that time is shown by the fact that the wine guild was one of the seven city guilds. Borgloon has several recognized wineries, which supply high quality products. FRUIT 17

De Groote Mot & De Clee Winery Borgloon and Kuttekoven In 1989, a group of wine enthusiasts planted a vineyard in the Mot valley “de Groote Mot”. Later, in 1995, de Gilde der Loonse Wynluyden came into existence. A new extension followed in 2010 when the vineyard on the domain of the De Clee castle in Kuttekoven was planted. The first wine kasteel De Clee was bottled in 2013.

Optimbulles Winery Jesseren Vintners Guy Geunis, Maxim Geunis, Theo Pasque and Rik Schreurs started a vineyard in Jesseren (Hoogveld) in the 90s. They decided to focus on sparkling wines from the three Champagne grapes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Optimbulles makes it a point of honour to be as natural as possible and not to sweeten the wines . So they are called Brut Nature. Since a few years, standard apples from Borgloon are also used to make sparkling wine. Besides the sparkling wines, Optimbulles also makes red and white natural wines.
