Chateau de Bioul is nestled in the picturesque Namur region, within the Côte Sambre et Meuse DOC of Belgium. Surrounded by the charming village and the historic Bioul castle, this winery is set within a centuries-old park that adds to its enchanting atmosphere. The estate has a rich history, dating back to the 11th century, and has withstood the test of time through various conflicts and changes in ownership.
Once in disrepair under the Jauche family, the estate faced significant challenges, including a devastating fire set by French troops in 1554. The Brandenbourg family later transformed the castle into a prestigious residence. In 1860, Francois Vaxelaire arrived from Lorraine, initially renting the estate before purchasing it in 1906. He undertook extensive renovations, breathing new life into the historic structure.
Today, the Wyckmans family owns and operates Chateau de Bioul, driven by their passion for Belgian wine. They have revitalized the ancient rolling hillsides, cultivating approximately 11 hectares of vineyards. The estate grows a variety of grapes, including Johaniter, Solaris, Cabaret Noir, Cabernet Blanc, Muscaris, and Pinotin. These grapes are crafted into exceptional red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines.
The philosophy at Chateau de Bioul emphasizes respect for nature and tradition, utilizing only the finest grapes and optimal conditions to produce quality wines.

Write a reviewA great discovery in Bioul, A magnificent well maintained castle and gardens, it looks like you have landed in a princess' house ... For children they are a sheet on which to find puzzles, my son was in heaven... And for the adults we had Q codes to learn a little more about the history of the castle ... We took the opportunity to do wine tasting, we did a prestige tasting and the other discovery ... My husband and I agreed on the wine La Bat de la Reine :] accompanied by a good aperitif board (which I recommend) very very good... Once we finished we went to the museum and at the end we came across the shop and took the opportunity to buy our two favorite bottles :) Until next time

If you are looking for a Walloon wine experience, this château is a must-visit. Not only is the property beautifully maintained, but it also exudes a warm atmosphere thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff. What really sets this place apart is its commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly production. A visit to the museum, which traces the history of the château and its owners, is also highly recommended.

Sunny Sunday spent at Château de Biou... guided tour (5€ per person) lunch and tasting in an exceptional setting, a glass of crémant rosé, a glass of white and a glass of red, a main course and a dessert and a coffee for 49€. Impeccable service, traditional and tasty cuisine and magnificent wines, especially the white: Terre Charlot to discover Absolutely. We concluded with a visit to the magnificent park, in short a beautiful day with the (liquid) souvenirs bought at the shop.

A majestic and well-maintained site. Parking is available outside the property, and unfortunately, there isn't enough of it. A historically interesting and enjoyable visit from a wine-tasting perspective. Tastings and refreshments are available on-site. Prices are reasonable. A short walk through the beautiful park.
