Wijngaard Amsteltuin — Amstelveen, Amsterdam
The story

Wijngaard Amsteltuin feels improbably rural considering it's only a short ride from Amsterdam. Late August and September are when the vineyard is at its best — harvest season is starting, and the vines are full. A tasting, a picnic between the rows, and the ride home in the last of the light. Book a tasting session directly through their website before you go.

Why Tonight?

A small change of scenery does the heavy lifting. Everything feels slower and further away than it really is.
