WIJN&ZO
Hoeve Hesselmans is a family-run business with two vineyards. One small vineyard is located on Dunsedijk in Esbeek: the “Lêêg Veld” (Low Field). In 2021, the vineyard on Lage Mierdseweg, known as the “Zandstee,” was expanded by 4,200 vines.
WIJN&ZO, owned by Dianne Hesselmans since 2002, allows wine lovers—both at home and in the hospitality industry—to enjoy sustainable and pure wines from (family) winemakers. Their passion for wine runs deep, as they also own their own vineyard called Hoeve Hesselmans. In 2013, Grandpa Hesselmans planted the first grapevines at two locations in Esbeek: on the “Lêêgveld” along the Dunsedijk and on the “Zandstee” along the Lage Mierdseweg. It was a long-cherished dream!
In 2020, Pim, Dianne’s eldest son, joined WIJN&ZO. His passion for wine and the vineyard has been with him since childhood. In 2021, Pim expanded the vineyard at the “Zandstee” with 4,200 grapevines. Hoeve Hesselmans now covers 1.2 hectares planted with 4,700 grapevines. Various grape varieties have been planted that thrive in the Dutch climate and the soil of the Kempen region. Every year, the grapes—which were planted in 2013—are used to bottle white and red wine, as well as to distill the farm’s own eau de vie made from Souvignier Gris.
