During this visit, you will get to know the rich history of Hotel Vanden Meersche and its successive owners. We start with a visit to the impressive historical staircase. This rococo staircase from the mid-18th century is considered one of the most beautiful and best-preserved in Ghent.
Next, we will take you to the distillery in the historical chapel where drinks are left to age in barrels. Here, you will receive an explanation about the various distillation techniques and the production process. We will conclude the visit with a tasting.
For your information: besides vodka, rum, and gin, an alcohol-free mocktail based on Spritz Spectaculaire 0% can be enjoyed. Deze Spritz was awarded in 2025 at San Francisco as 'Best New N/A Spirit of the Year'.
