Indeed, thanks to a favourable microclimate and a gently rolling landscape… Add to this, buildings in warn coloured stone and red-tiled roofs and you could indeed think you are in the south of France rather than Belgium. The climate is perfect to grow grapes. There are three vineyards to discover: Le Poirier du Loup, Les Fouchères, L’épinette.

Torgny is in the Gaume region in the province of Luxemburg, south of the Ardennes and surrounded by France on three sides. The village enjoys a micro climate, so it is well suited for vineyards. Even when, only a few kilometers away, people go skiing in the Ardennes, the Gaume has barely seen a snowflake. The local wines aren’t the only thing that may remind you here of France. Because of the rolling hills, the honey-coloured houses and the abundance of flowers, Torgny has the feel of the French Provence region. This is truly a holiday spot.

In Torgny, the Roman-tiled roofs radiate the sun. As soon as you approach, you can sense the magic of the micro-climate: it is so mild here! The route climbs due south and there, all becomes clear. The slopes stretch out before you.  A winegrowing tradition, born in Roman times, continues today with the production of a delicious white wine.
