Also Delicious - High wine & Pure Markt
Looking to enjoy a bite and a drink in the green? During High Wine days at Wijngaard Amsteltuin, you can relax among the vines while sipping local wine and enjoying small bites. It’s a peaceful spot, with plenty of space between the tables. The downside? The spots fill up quickly.
The Pure Markt is a traveling market that also appears a few times a year in Amsterdamse Bos. You can purchase fresh products, but there’s also plenty of cozy ambiance and delicious treats. Live music, tasty drinks, and stalls where fresh dishes are prepared. What more could you ask for on a Sunday afternoon?
