Gourmet Festival 2025

Step into a world where gastronomy meets artistry at the prestigious Gourmet Festival, hosted by Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp.

From June 16 to 22, 2025

The exclusive event brings together Michelin-starred chefs, renowned international culinary talents, and visionary creatives for a week of unforgettable experiences.

Enjoy garden tastings from our on-site restaurants, intimate dinners, wine and champagne sessions in our Vinariam, and 4-hands dinners with top chefs from around the globe.

The week culminates in the Grand Gourmet Gala, supporting Villa Max, a charity for families with care-intensive children. This is more than a festival—it's the beginning of a new culinary tradition.

VillaMax, a non-subsidized organization that offers unique, warm and free vacations for families with a seriously ill or care-intensive child and who, given their circumstances, have few opportunities to get away together for a week.
