Maastricht, The Netherlands - June 17-19, 2004

Social Events

Friday, June 18th

Château Neercanne  will be the site of our Congress Banquet.  Located in Jekervallei on the outer edges of Maastricht, the oldest city in the Netherlands, Château Neercanne is the only terraced castle in the Netherlands.  The Château was built in 1698 by the then Governor of Maastricht, Baron Daniël de Dopff to impress guests that included Czar Peter the Great.  Belgium is a few minutes walk away.

Château Neercanne has a rich cultural and culinary heritage. The Château’s kitchens are noted for miles around and offer superb French, seasonal and regional dishes.

The Château is further blessed by its stunning gardens, designed in a Louis XIV style. Intriguing old engravings spark the interest as you roam this delightful scene. The gardens underwent a full restoration in 1998 and are as good today as when first built.

In the nearby Jekerdal you will find vineyards of Europe’s most northerly grape, the ‘Pinot Noir’, which is noted for its bouquet and taste. Our own vineyard is ideally situated on the Château’s steep southern slope. We currently grow around 400 vines that produce ‘Mise en Bouteille Château Neercanne’.

In 1991 Château Neercanne was, for the second time in its history, chosen to host a meeting of the heads of European government.

Banquet Cost: $75/person
